Mandy Moore on Why She Stayed Brunette After 'A Walk to Remember'

"I was blonde then and, for the most part, haven't gone back since," the This Is Us actress, 32, told Entertainment Weekly in honor of the film's 15th anniversary. "It was transformative because it came at a time in my life when I was only seen from the pop music landscape and through that lens. There was a real significance to coloring my hair. As silly as it sounds, there was a real significance in the way that people saw me, but also in the way that I carried myself and that I saw myself. It was the last little piece of the puzzle I think in terms of getting into the character."

            

But her costar Shane West, who played her bad-boy-gone-good love, Landon Carter, believes that her onscreen transformation did more than get her into character. It affected her real life too. "I remember that Mandy was very nervous about dyeing her hair," he told EW. "It's amazing how it really changed her life — well, the movie changed all of our lives — but hers especially, aesthetically. She kind of went with that look after that — she didn't go back to the platinum blonde."

 

And yeah, she looks hotter as brunette tbh

Is she implying that the light blonde hair in the left pic is her natural hair color?
