Singapore - Both on and off screen, Channel 8 actress Jeanette Aw comes across as demure and feminine.
So it came as a surprise when she recently upended her longstanding image and decided to shave the side of her head as she felt it was "suitable" for her latest role.
Aw, 33, now sports an undercut - a la English singer Ellie Goulding and US dubstep producer Skrillex.
The Hype Records artist felt that playing Mo Yu Qing, an extroverted football fan who's one of the guys, in new Channel 8 drama World At Your Feet called for the grungy look.
The show, which airs next May, is currently being filmed.
Aw told The New Paper in an e-mail interview: "It has come to a point in time where I feel I should do something different. The production team was thrilled to hear my suggestion and even more so when they saw that I really did it. No empty talk for me. I had the freedom to suggest something, so it was my responsibility to see (it) through."
Aw felt that change was necessary for her to grow as a performer.
"It is time to move away from stereotypes and for others to realise that there are many facets in a person's character," she said.
In fact, Aw - who said she enjoys travelling alone to countries like India - said that Mo bears a resemblance to her real self.

Angmohs marry for "love" & divorce their spouses when they fall out of love.
Wishing Jeanette plenty of luck. But I hope that she will be another what what Peh (Joanah ?). This would be a lesson in life. :D
Chn guys loyal...not that flirt than ang mo..
Ang mo will not stick to one lover...he will go for more to satisfy his lust.
1. Getting on in age
2. Kena angmoh
Angmohs generally go for the body. She doesn't have this but is obviously trying to make up for it by being sexy. A lot of local gals are like that once that get hooked up with angmohs.
But it is just a matter of time that they will break up - when the angmoh bf is no more "in love". :D
I am not the fan of spore artists...sorry...dont care a hook.
