Amy Adams is committed to her role in Nightbitch.

In an interview with Variety published on Tuesday, Oct, 22, the actress, 50, said that she volunteered to grow out her own chin hairs for the film. Adams' character, referred to only as "Mother," is a struggling stay-at-home mom who transforms into a dog.

"The hair on the face — that was mine,” she told the outlet. “I saw it as a wonderful expression of the human experience without any artifice or filters. Or tweezers!”

The six-time Oscar nominee added, “I have that kind of hair that just grows overnight. One day it’s not there, and the next day it’s like I’m a catfish. That might turn some people away.”

"I think what I want her to know about my experience of motherhood is how much she's enriched my life and made me the woman that I am today," she added.
