Blondes and brunettes are easy to find, but due to a recessive gene, redheads are rare. As it turns out, real gingers are even rarer in Hollywood.
Amy Adams. This is completely shocking, right? You know what’s even more shocking? Amy was working in Hollywood as a blonde, staring in movies like The Wedding Date. It wasn’t until she dyed her hair red that people started noticing her.
Christina Hendricks. This Mad Men star is known for her fiery tresses. Too bad they’ve been fake since childhood. (and yes, that is her on the left)
Nicole Kidman. When we first met Nicole she was a redhead, which would lead you to believe that was her natural color. She’s actually a blonde.
Alyson Hannigan, who’s naturally brunette. Who saw this one coming?
Laura Prepon. The producers of That 70s Show asked her to dye it from brown to red.
Emma Stone. We recently saw Emma dye her red mane blonde, but as it turns out, she was going back to her original color.
James and Oliver Phelps. That’s right, these mischievous Weasley twins are not real gingers. But don’t worry, Rupert Grint is.
Were you surprised by any of these, Lovelies? Do you have red hair? Have you ever dyed it red?

Alyson Hannigan pulls it off amazingly! I love her as Lily on HIMYM.
guest

guest

I knew most of these … but Amy Adams and the Weasley twins caught me by surprise!
guest
I knew that the twins weren’t natural red-heads because I watched the extras from the Harry Potter DVDs.. :3 Emma Stone totally suits red hair better than blonde, I think she should go back!
guest
gingers dont have souls

All of them (except for Laura) look better as redheads in my opinion. But they’re great either way.

a bottle red is like a bottle blond, it is an attitude, a feeling, its what fits.
I am a natural blond, I have had black hair and barely even tried brown for a brief month. Nothing feels more right than red. Any red. Red red, copper red, red violet. Just… red.
guest
I have natural dirty blonde hair that would naturally get lighter in the summer. I dyed mine strawberry blonde/red like 4 months ago and I LOVE It. I get so many more compliments on it. I also get more male attention so the red hair is a win for me!
guest
YOU FORGOT RIHANNA!!!

@betterdesigned@xanga - We love your hair, too!
guest
I prefer all of them as redheads but I’m probably just biased because red hair is an automatic turn on for me

real redhead or not, I’d still fuck Christina Hendrix 8 ways to sunday.
guest
WHAT?! whaaaaaaaaaat?
omg…I never knew.
guest
I was surprised by most of these. I’m a natural blonde, but I like dying my hair red sometimes.
guest
the phelps twins are cute
guest
i love emma stone as a red head
guest
Red hair used to run in my family. The last person to have it is my Great Aunt. But most of the family on her side has reddish highlights. I died my hair chocolate cherry, strawberry blonde, and auburn-y copper. Now it’s back to natural, and has the natural red highlights that are passed down through my GA. =)
guest
I think they all look good with red hair…but I was surprised about Amy Adams. Hey, does anyone know if Isla Fisher’s hair is really red?
guest
How is Cynthia Nixon not on this list!?
guest
they all look gorgeous tho!

I think you just ruined my entire life. Just now.
guest
Funny.. I think Nicole Kidman suits the red hair better.

I’m a natural redhead. I’ve tried to dye my hair dark brown and it just turns back to red. lol I dyed it dark brown to get over the fact that one day it’ll go all gray and I won’t have my natural red hair color anymore.
guest
No, not the Weasley twins!!

@mynameisblueskye@xanga - Why, thank you, sir. =)
guest
I am a natural red head and I LOVE being a natural redhead. Cool facts about us- we only make up 1% of the world’s population and it takes twice as much anesthesia for us to not feel pain during surgery.
guest
I was surprised by Nicole Kidman and Allyson Hannigan. Christina Hendricks surprised and pleased me when I read a few months ago that she colored her hair because she was such a fan of Anne of Green Gables.
I love those books myself, and re-read them often.
guest
Emma Stone is a babe.
daisy / 501 posts
Hannigan shocked me. I love being a real ginge.
guest
Alyson Hannigan seems like a natural red head. That was surprising.
I was a red head for a few years, but people started thinking I was a natural red head & I felt like I was lieing so I went back to natural.
guest
When I saw Nicole Kidman with red hair I was confused ’cause I thought she was a blonde.
Alyson Hannigan seemed like a natural redhead, but I figured that she wasn’t.
I usually like natural hair colors better, but Emma Stone def. rocks red the best <3
guest
I thought Nicole was a strawberry blonde. Where do we make the distinction? Let’s not even get started on Auburn hair
@fromprivatetopublic@xanga - haha everyone already knew that (I wasn’t sure if you were joking)
guest
@Xx_SCRiBBLY@xanga - Agreed. Blonde hair doesn’t suit Emma at all.

@SlackerSociety@xanga - I was going to say something similar
guest
i like emma stone as a redhead anyway!
and learning about the phelps twins’ true hair color just made me so sad. =[
guest
@WaitingToShrug@xanga - really? christina hendricks dyed her hair because she’s a fan of anne of green gables? THAT’S AWESOME. XD
guest
Yeah but they all look effing hot, so who cares. (Apart from those stupid twins)
guest
I think most of these people look better with their natural colors.
Hehe.. the first and only time I ever dyed my hair..it was red-ish.. bad decision x.x
rose / 795 posts
@SavyCouponMommy@xanga - That explains why I didn’t pass out right away when I got my wisdom teeth out!
guest
@pretty_inx_plaid@xanga - Isn’t it cool? I wanted red hair when I was younger too, because of Anne.
guest
Wow, I had no idea on most of these! They all look really good as redheads though. I’ve tried pretty much every color except green in my hair, and red is my hands-down favorite. It kinda fits with my style/personality. My natural color is super-boring (dark ash blonde).
guest
I’m so upset about Alyson and Amy
They really pulled it off. Amy Adams looks great as a blonde and a red head.
guest
Not shocked at all.
My hair is a deep red colour (too dark to ginger) I love it. It fits me and has personal meaning to me as well.
guest
They all pull off the red very well
I love Nicole Kidman’s blonde a lot though.
guest
I recently just dyed my hair red and it’s probably one of the better decisions I’ve made! Matches me better oppose to my natural brown hair color since I’m very pale. I do like Amy Adams hair better when red.
guest
Ok, just so you know… Nicole Kidman is a natural redhead.. before she made it big in the United states she had frizzy red hair and freckles.. take it from me, a fellow Aussie!
sunflower / 487 posts
I have always wanted to go red, but my cousin has red hair and my parents already think I look up to her.. when really I dont, I dont want to give them another reason to think so. I really like red hair though..
guest
you just killed me when you told me Donna and that chick from Buffy are not redheads thanks for ruining me haha
guest
Amy Adams and the twins were probably the most surprising to me. Emma Stone I knew about, but I think she is the only one of here that looks particularly better as a red head (everyone else just looks different, not better per say).
guest
THE WISLEYS AREN’T REAL REDHEADS??
omg. i’ve been fooled for years.
guest
alyson’s hair is auburn but more brown than red.

Nikki and Laura were the only ones that surprised me. I love giving my mane a red tint despite my husbands objections.
guest
@all_things_beautiful88@xanga - A natural redhead indeed. Unless her parents started dyeing her hair at four..? Linky.
guest
“This one time at band camp…” she is not a red head??!!!! O.o
guest
This was really surprising. The only ones I knew about were Nicole Kidman and James and Oliver Phelps
guest
I was surprised by all of these actually.
Oh my goodness.

My hair is naturally a dark brown/red. I used to dye it bright red, then I dyed it dark brown, but in the end, I just chopped it all off earlier today and said screw it, it’ll be what it’ll be.

That’s not true. Laura Prepon is a natural redhead. In the Sneaker Pimps music video for ’6 Underground’ which was in 1995, Laura is shown at the age of 15, 3 years before That ’70s Show started, with red hair. Also, in the following videos, Laura says herself that she is indeed a redhead.

Get your facts right.

Then why does Laura states in a recent interview that she is a natural redhead?

Nicole kidman also states she is a redhead.
