Anne Hathaway begged her hairdresser to cut her scalp during a dramatic hair-cutting scene in \'Les Miserables\'.

"They were in the make-up trailer discussing how they were going to do it because they had to cut it live on camera and she said, 'If you cut my head while you are doing it that would be great - to get the blood in the scene.
