We've been on Ellen Page hair watch for a few weeks now. The star has been sporting a short pixie style on set of her new film Freeheld, and at first glance, we dismissed it as a wig. Then Lena Dunham posted a photo of Page (a participant in Dunham's Planned Parenthood movement) on Instagram, and we started to second guess that whole wig theory. Turns out, her cute new cut is very real.
Page lopped off her super-long brunette strands into a shaggy pixie style for her role in the upcoming indie drama, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. The 27-year-old actress plays Julianne Moore 's character's car-mechanic girlfriend in the film based on the true story of a New Jersey police detective (Moore) who battles for pension benefits after she's forced to stop working due to a terminal illness.

The actress maintains she loves to take on challenging roles, so we bet the decision to get the chop (and ditch the wig) really helped her get into character.
'I was 10 when I started acting,' she told W in a recent interview. 'A casting director came to my school looking for kids. I auditioned for a TV movie called Pit Pony, and I got it. Acting became an immediate fixation. I was a child but I was so ambitious.'
What do you think of Page's cut? Does she pull off the pixie? Sound off below.
