The Price Tag hitmaker Jessie J is known for her dark bobbed hair but wants to raise money for good causes by chopping off her locks and she insists she isn’t worried about having a buzz cut.
She said, “I’m shaving my head next year for charity, it’s definitely happening if I raise a million, which I think I will. I’ve spoken to a few celebrities who are interested too. I’m quite excited at getting rid of the bob. People say, ‘But your hair is so nice.’ But I can wear wigs and no one would ever know. And if I can save some lives then that’s amazing.”
Jessie feels she has been “chosen” to be a role model and so she never wants to let down her young fans, even though she knows that puts her under pressure.
She told Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine, “I wasn’t like, ‘I want to be a role model,’ but I always wanted to bring good. Sometimes you don’t choose things, things choose you and I feel like the role model thing has chosen me. It’s important to embrace the limelight and I know it sounds like a cliche, but the kids need me not to let them down. It is a pressure and the difficult thing is I’ve said I don’t drink or smoke, which is true. But every now and again I’ll have one drink and suddenly everyone makes out like I’m an alcoholic. It annoys me because it’s not like I’ve said I never drink, I’ve just said I’m not a drinker.”
