The Girl with the Dragoon Tattoo star Rooney Mara has revealed that she expected people to treat her differently following her makeover for the film.
The 26-year-old said that she enjoyed having expectations of her lowered by the dark styling of her character Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's crime drama.
"The hair was stuck to my head, the eyebrows remained bleached and the piercings I got that were real obviously stayed in," she told the Daily Express. "I expected people to treat me much differently but it really didn't happen.
"The biggest change that I noticed was that when you look slightly off in that way people sort of pay less attention to you and their expectations of you are lowered. I didn't mind that - I actually enjoyed it."
Mara added that she hasn't yet reverted to her own "feminine and girly" fashion sense since appearing in the movie.
"Before I got the part I was definitely more feminine and girly," she explained. "I wore a lot of pale shades and I haven't really rediscovered that yet. I've kept with the black and dark colours."
