Rooney Mara won’t wear anything she owned before starring in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

The actress’ personal style completely transformed during the 14 months she spent portraying tattooed and pierced gothic computer hacker Lisbeth Salander for the film and is no longer very feminine, lacy, pink, whimsical and romantic.

She said: “My wardrobe has completely changed. It had to, partly because of my hair and partly because I stopped feeling comfortable in what I used to wear.

“I don’t feel comfy in those clothes anymore because I have been living as Lisbeth for 14 months.”

For the role Rooney also had to get her nipple pierced – which she has since kept in – and had to shave her head, which she said she was “really happy” to do.

Rooney also won her role in ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ for her wiliness to completely transform herself, with director David Fincher explaining: “She was willing to risk everything. Her take on Lisbeth was as someone who can turn it completely off.”

Scarlett Johansson was deemed too sexy to star as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Scarlett Johansson was deemed too sexy to star in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Director David Fincher decided against giving the role of main character Lisbeth Salander – who is played by Rooney Mara – to the 26-year-old beauty, despite her “great” audition, because people “can’t wait for her to take her clothes off”.

He told Vogue.com: “We flew in people from New Zealand and Swaziland and all over the place.

“Look, we saw some amazing people. Scarlett Johansson was great. It was a great audition, I’m telling you. But the thing with Scarlett is, you can’t wait for her to take her clothes off.

“I keep trying to explain this. Salander should be like E.T. If you put E.T. dolls out before anyone had seen the movie, they would say, ‘What is this little squishy thing?’ Well, you know what? When he hides under the table and he grabs the Reese’s Pieces, you love him! It has to be like that.”

Before finally casting Rooney in the role, David – who directed ‘The Social Network’, the 26-year-old stunner’s last movie – was worried he wouldn’t ever find the right actress to portray the character.

He added: “I had seen a lot of actresses. I was beginning to get to the point where I was thinking, ‘Maybe conceptually you are talking about a person who doesn’t exist’.”
