Julianne Moore "hated" dyeing her red hair for new movie 'Blindness'.

The actress insists a drastic change of appearance - which required her to go blonde - was necessary for the role, but says she wasn't keen on her new light locks.

But, personally, I hated dyeing it

Julianne, who plays the wife of an optician who loses his sight in the new film, said: "I've always used wigs for roles in the past. But for this role I didn't feel I could get away with a wig. And my red hair would have been wrong, too bright. There was a reason for it.

"People who aren't naturally blonde need to maintain it and you need time and money to maintain it a lot. So that told you something about this woman who was thrust into this awful situation. But, personally, I hated dyeing it. It was a pain."

Julianne also revealed she will never stop starring in movies because there is nothing she likes more.

She added: "I like film better than anything else. There's a suspension of disbelief. And when I work, I'll do things I won't do in my own life. I don't even like catching balls. But if I have to do it in a movie, I'll do it.

"I'll go much further in a movie than I will in real life."
