Rooney Mara in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Perhaps the craziest thing Rooney Mara did for this role was getting all the piercing her character had (including in intimate places) – that’s right, it’s not a prop or makeup or special effects, Mara had her entire face pierced for this role.
Mara said she felt it was necessary to get these piercings, but also that these piercings and tattoos made her feel as if she was constantly wearing a costume.
