Charlize Theron is one of Hollywood’s most outspoken and fearless women. Here, we talk about her latest role, turning the big 4-0 and the person who inspires her most in life.
The brazen attitude that the statuesque South African actress brings towards life is every bit a match for her striking beauty and independent streak. in fact, Charlize Theron gives the impression that she could take on any man. Her performance in last year’s critically-acclaimed blockbuster Mad Mad: Fury Road gave further proof that she’s a female road warrior on and off the film set.
Charlize makes her way to Singapore this April to meet fans and promote her new film, The Huntsman: Winter’s War, along with costars Chris Hemsworth and Jessica Chastain. This movie is the anticipated follow-up to 2012’s Snow White and The Huntsman. Charlize returns as Queen Ravenna in the film.
Charlize, who turned 40 last august, celebrated that birthday by adopting a baby girl, august, to join her adopted son, Jackson, now four. prior to that, she ended her relationship with Sean Penn. Having a positive experience with Jackson influenced her decision to adopt a second child. "I feel like I can't remember anything prior to Jackson, like it was always just meant to be. Every day I'm like 'it's not possible to love you more. Then 20 minutes later you're like 'Oh my! How is this possible!'" she says. She shares that having kids has made her life more meaningful, and she's started thinking about the legacy she wants to leave behind.
Charlize grew up in South Africa with a father she has characterised as an abusive alcoholic. in 1991, Gerda, her mother, fatally shot him after he came home in a drunken rage and threatened to kill her and the then-15-year old Charlize. at age 18, she went to New York to study ballet, after having spent a year as a model in Europe. after wrecking her knee, she turned to acting after her mother exhorted her not to give up on her dreams of performing.
