Dreads on Film/TV

[Taraiha]

I was watching The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe earlier and it occured to me how cool Tilda Swinton's dread wig for the Ice Queen costume was.
The only other dreads I remember seeing in films (other than on coloured people) are Sway's twisted dreads in Gone in Sixty Seconds and, of course, Predator's cyberlox.
Have you seen any really well done dreads etc in films/on tv?

[sammu]

Faye from Steps, Christina Aguilera and Pink have had dreads before.

Predator didn't have cyberlox, they were cast latex as far as I'm aware.

Faye from Steps

That made me LOL so hard xD (I liked Steps at one point, but she kinda annoyed me).

Actually, Denise from the Vengaboys, err, the blonde one, had some pretty neat twists in the video for we like to party.

She was my favourite in Steps. XD I watch their Christmas song just to admire her dreads.

I liked Claire more!

That made me laugh too. It's a bit like mentioning Sid Viscious, Billy Idol and Joe Elderry in the same sentence

I'd forgotten about Christina's black & white do. Wasn't that in the 'Beautiful' video?

I never saw this video. They fizzled out here in about 2000.

ha ha one of the first times i ever wore installed dreads i was sat at a bus stop waiting for a friend when some kids spotted me and started to come over swigging blue WKD. having had nothing but trouble in the past from similar type people i was shitting myself waiting to get a thumping or something but they came right up and were all "here, wee girl, your hurr is leek Faye from Steps. it's class leek" (may be hard to imagine this if you don't know a belfast accent..) and were really nice about it. they were bright blue so were nothing like her blonde dreads but being told i was like Faye from Steps was one of the first compliments from the public that i had.

that was a bit of a long story to tell nothing. sorry!

Newton Faulkner has real dreads:

Wow, thanks. Never heard of him before but I think he's my new hero. I just watched loads of his videos in one sitting, great voice.

[MissAnthropik]

There are loads of musicians with real dreads, I thought we were thinking of people with extensions. But I agree, Newton Faulkner is great and so are his dreads!

Has no one said Pirates of Caribbean yet?

The girl in St Trinian's wears a dread wig- http://s.bebo.com/app-image/7925357617/ ... /28/ce.jpg

I can't even believe I forgot that one.... Perhaps it was just too obvious?

At that point in time, that woman was the absolute bane of my life. I had dreads and bleached them out and got approached daily to be told I looked like her/asked if I was her! Similarly, divvies used to shout 'Spice Girl!' at me because I wore Buffalo boots.

Around the same time there was a TV programme called As If featuring a girl with cotton wraps who also drew a lot of comparisons.

Newton Faulkner's dreads are nice but I do find my fingers uncontrollably twitching towards my crochet needle whenever he's on the screen

Further to that, has anyone mentioned Heath Ledger in The Knight's Tale? And Angelina Jolie looked like some kind of angel in one film, was it Gone In 60 seconds?

I really feel like I should be able to reel off loads, but my brain is addled.

[IKickShins]

Not quite a movie star, but Susan Powter had synth dreads for a while. I wanna say Boogie Mama did the install but I'm not 100% sure.

[CancerHybrid]

there were dreads in the movie 10,000 BC

LOL, I wanted Spice Girl boots as a kid. Little did I know back then that they were Buffalo!

[apatico]

There were some awesome dreads and hairstyles in Apocalypto!

Sooz <3 it was actually that character that finally made me seriously start looking into how they were done after admiring them for a while before hand

I never used to watch that As If programme, but people kept telling me i looked like the girl in that, and that my hair was "the same" as hers. When I finally saw it I couldn't believe it since her hair was wraps and mine was big pink fluffy dreads. Just goes to show that to the untrained eye all extensions look the same!

I watch their Christmas song just to admire her dreads.

Faye's hair was absolutely gorgeous in the Tragedy video! Best wedding hairs ever.

I am seriously racking my brain for films in which dreads have appeared... other than the usual films, matrix, POC 1,2 and 3... etc etc..

Still thinkmy fave bad ass dreads gotta be on Predator!!!
