Actress Natalie Portman was under an immense pressure to get the all important head-shaving scene right in the movie “V For Vendetta” because there was only one chance to film it… of course.

The scene shows Natalie Portman having her hair shaved off and was filmed in a single take, according to contactmusic.com.

“It was a one-shot deal, and that was the most stressful thing about the experience,” said Oscar-nominated Natalie Portman, 24.

Director James McTeigue said: “The first time I saw her [Natalie Portman] about the role, I had her put her hair behind her head because I wanted to see what she looked like bald.

“That was the only conversation we had about it. She knew the day was coming, I put three cameras on her, made sure the clippers weren’t stuck, and then we shaved her head.

“She loved it!” he claims.
