AceShowbiz - In the upcoming film "Sonic the Hedgehog 3," Jim Carrey once again reprises his role as the iconic villain Dr. Robotnik. However, this time around, he also plays Robotnik's grandfather, Prof. Gerald Robotnik. To prepare for the dual roles, Carrey underwent a significant transformation.
In an exclusive clip from Entertainment Weekly, Carrey is seen getting his head shaved by co-star Lee Majdoub, who plays Agent Stone. Majdoub buzzes off Carrey's locks, which the actor had been growing for over a year.
"I just cut Jim Carrey's hair on camera," Majdoub says in the clip. "It was so much fun, and he wanted me to do it, and he showed me a lot of trust."
In the film, Ben Schwartz is back as the voice behind Sonic. He is joined by Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessey), Knuckles (Idris Elba), and Shadow (Keanu Reeves). Sonic will team up with his archenemy Robotnik to defeat Shadow.
Carrey's willingness to shave his head demonstrates his commitment to the role. Director Jeff Fowler previously told EW that the makeup and costumes for both Robotniks required hours of Carrey sitting in a chair. Had Carrey declined, Fowler admitted, "I don't know what we would've done."
"Sonic the Hedgehog 3" hits theaters on December 20.
