Washington, October 09 : Actress Malin Akerman shaved off her eyebrows for her new film `HappyThankYouMorePlease,' in which she plays a girl suffering the hair-loss disease alopecia.

"I shaved my eyebrows off, they only just grew back," Fox News quoted her as saying at the premiere of her latest comedy "Couple's Retreat".

The beauty was apparently happy with her final look.

She said: "It was so surreal; I felt like a different person. We filmed it. It was like going to the doctor and you don't really want to take that needle but know you have to.

"I was a little nervous but the final look was kind of beautiful. I didn't mind doing it, but I'd heard so many stories that eyebrows don't grow back - that was the fear.

"But it was so interesting without eyebrows, when you're in the shower everything just drips into your eyes and realize what function your eyebrows actually have." (ANI)
