ERIC BANA - BANA'S HAIR HELD UP MOVIE

BANA'S HAIR HELD UP MOVIE

Filmmakers had to postpone the release of ERIC BANA's new movie THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE for one year while they waited for the Aussie actor's hair to grow back.
After wrapping the romantic movie, Bana shaved his head for his role as Nero in recent sci-fi release Star Trek.
Director Robert Schwentke realised he needed Bana to reshoot scenes with co-star Rachel MCAdams for The Time Traveler's wife, only to discover he looked completely different.
The delay means the film is hitting cinemas in the U.S. this week (14Aug09), a year after its original release date.
MCAdams explains, "We wound up doing a reshoot, but Eric had to shave his head for Star Trek. Basically we were waiting for Eric's hair."
