Charlize Theron and son Jackson were photographed yesterday sporting strikingly similar hairstyles. Sure, mother and son both sported hats, but it’s still pretty obvious that they’re both rockin’ some seriously close-cropped domes.

Charlize hasn’t revealed her reasons for shaving off her signature blonde locks, but given the actress’ history of physically transforming herself for her craft, the leading theory is that her new ‘do is for her role in the upcoming Mad Max re-make, which begins filming next month. Charlize famously gained 30 pounds and shaved her eyebrows off for her role in the 2003 film Monster. By comparison, rocking the Sinead O’Connor look for a few weeks doesn’t seem so bad.

Besides, Charlize can pull off a lot of looks most people can only dream of. Even with the chrome dome, she’s still lookin’ fine.
