Blondes don’t have more fun, or at least that’s what Maggie Gyllenhaal thinks.
“I dyed my hair blond because I wanted to feel better about myself,” Gyllenhaal said in an interview with The Independent published Sunday. “I do like it blond but it doesn’t make you happy.”
The actress, who has since gone back to being a brunette, continued, “The truth is: It was a long hard winter and I thought, maybe this will change my life. But it never does. I should know that by now, I’m 36 years old.”
Gyllenhaal next appears — with her preferred brown locks — in the political thriller “The Honourable Woman,” which premieres July 3 on BBC.
