7. Rooney Mara
When she was cast for her role in The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara decided that it was very important for her to really get involved in her own transformation into the character Lisabeth Salander. During filming she’d spend hours in makeup, getting transformed with the character’s tattoos and piercings. Because the character had a nipple ring in the book, Rooney decided that it would be a good idea to get one herself. This way she’d be able to feel like she was “in costume” even during the many scenes of the film where she was wearing absolutely nothing at all. It is unclear as to whether or not Rooney decided to keep the ring as a memento of the ground-breaking role.
