Angelina Jolie is excitedly shooting a new film, for which she underwent a drastic hair transformation, but fans are not really feeling it.

The acclaimed actress is in the middle of filming a new crime comedy film, and has been photographed on the streets with a short, blonde haircut, making her look a lot different from how she does on a daily basis. Now, teaser photographs for the film are being released, giving internet users a full glimpse into her character. While she’s known for her beautiful and striking features, as well as her great hair, fans were not too pleased with this character’s look on Angelina and expressed their distaste on social media. Read more about her transformation for the film below.

Angelina Is Photographed Filming 'Anxious People' With Short Blonde Hair

The Salt actress has been back in the headlines recently as she's been working on her latest film project, Anxious People, a drama-comedy based on a 2019 novel that follows a bank owner who finds herself in a hostage situation gone wrong. The movie has been filming in London, where Angelina has been seen on set in costume for her character, Zara.

 

Over the last few weeks, pictures of the mom-of-six filming as Zara on the streets of London have gone viral, and now there are high-quality images of her in character, also causing the internet to buzz. In the new photos, which can be seen here, Angelina is sporting a short, blonde bob haircut with dark, chunky highlights. She's also been seen wearing more conservative, appropriate banker clothing, including a belted white coat and, in the production photos, a classic grey blazer.

 

The look for her character is undoubtedly different than what Angelina's fans are commonly used to seeing, so when they saw the photos of her as Zara, they weren't necessarily super enthused.

Fans React To Angelina's Filming Look On Social Media

Once the new pictures of the 50-year-old went viral on social media, fans had very mixed feelings. As per usual, there are some loyal fans of hers who believe she could wear just about anything or sport any kind of hairstyle and still look iconic. However, there were others who were taken aback by the character's hair and overall vibe, and they took to the comments to point it out.

 

On platforms like Instagram, stunned fans flooded the comments section, sharing their thoughts on how they felt the look was unflattering on the actress.

 

One user called the actress "Karen Jolie," and said she had an "awful haircut."

 

"Blonde hair does not suit her," added another.

 

"Angie becoming Anna Wintour," joked a user as another wrote, "the blonde doesn't match her skin at all."

 

While the hair for her character is likely a wig, if anything, it's an indicator that many of her fans and other internet users would prefer that the Oscar nominee keep her sleek, straight, long locks for as long as possible.
