00:00Google Mbatha Roar has revealed that she embraced her naturally curly hair even when she's playing
00:05a role.
00:05The gorgeous actress, who was born to a British nurse and a black South African doctor, said
00:10in a recent interview that she'll only press her tresses flat if it really supports the
00:14story.
00:14For example, her film The Cloverfield Paradox takes place on a space station, and she notes
00:19that she'd never seen anyone with hair like hers in a sci-fi movie.
00:23She thought it was a good opportunity for little girls who are mixed race like she is
00:26to feel included and to see that they can be astronauts too.
00:30However, while Gugu prefers to keep things simple in her day-to-day life as well, noting
00:34that she can often be found running around barefaced with wet hair, she does find it fun
00:38to get all glammed up on occasion.
00:40The star admits that there's definitely power in making a choice about how you present yourself
00:44to the world as long as you never feel tied to wearing a mask.
