On the carpet, Deadline » asked the 25-year-old actor about the social media discourse surrounding his hair. TLDR: Photos of a teenage A’zion girl with seemingly thinner, lighter, less curly hair have sparked debate over whether she wears a wig.
“You think I can afford a wig like that and wear it all the time? They’re so expensive,” A’zion replied. “I don’t even have a hair or makeup or stylist because I’m trying to save my money. Maybe one day.”
Although the actor claims her wild corkscrew curls are the result of her own curly hair routine, she said she has used wigs for other styles. “The gag is the Los Angeles premiere [of Marty Supreme] It was a wig,” she said Deadline, referencing the soft, romantic shoulder-length curls she wore with a Marc Jacobs suit, an homage to the film’s 1950s setting.
