Charlize Theron spoke out about racism and raising her black adopted children

Charlize Theron and Stefan Jenkins

From 1997 to 2001, Charlize Theron dated the leader of the rock band Third Eye Blind, Stefan Jenkins. Nobody remembers about this novel anymore. But the relationship between Charlize and Stefan lasted four years.

Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend

On the set of the film 24 in 2002, Charlize Theron began an affair with her colleague Stuart Townsend. Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend played spouses, and on-screen love quickly spread beyond the set. For the next 8 years, Charlize and Stewart were inseparable. The couple lived in two houses: either in Los Angeles, where Theron lived and worked, or in Ireland, where Townsend is from.

A few years later, Theron and Townsend announced their engagement. The couple was in no hurry to get married, but this union still seemed ideal. Alas: in January 2010, Charlize stopped wearing the ring that Stewart gave her when he proposed. This romance lasted almost 10 years.

Path to glory

Charlize Theron's life and career are not like a fairy tale. The success achieved is a lot of work. The actress was born in the provinces of South Africa into a poor family. She lost her father early and was left in the care of her mother, who put her on the path to fame and a good life.

The girl’s career began not with acting courses, but with the modeling business, in which she was in demand. At the age of 16, Charlize won an international modeling competition and signed a one-year contract with an agency in Milan.

When the deadline expired, Charlize Theron flew to New York to enroll in a choreographic school. Ballet is the actress’s passion; she wanted to connect her life with it. Alas, this did not happen due to an injury received at the age of 19.

One day, Charlize was arguing with a teller at a bank, and John Crosby noticed her. The man was promoting actors and offered his business card to Theron. From that moment on, the career of an actress began.

As you can see, Charlize Theron did not grow up in a wealthy family, but achieved everything herself. This once again proves that a person can reach any heights.

Weight gain and a leading role in a movie

Many movie stars need to gain extra pounds for a certain role. Charlize Theron faced the same task. She got the main role in the film “Monster” and was the initiator of changing her appearance a little and gaining weight. As the actress notes, with her body type it was easy to gain extra pounds, because she is gaining weight quickly.

The image of the heroine played by the star was the absolute opposite of herself. You can't recognize the beautiful Theron on screen. After gaining 15 kilograms, her body became flabby and unattractive, because the woman weighed almost 70 kg. Makeup artists worked on Charlize, her hair began to hang lifelessly from her shoulders, and makeup was applied to her face. Thus, the actress completely changed in appearance, which allowed her to immerse herself in the role.

To gain weight, the star included donuts, hamburgers, pastries, sweets and carbonated drinks on the menu. That is, everything that is not allowed to be eaten while maintaining a figure. The result was not long in coming, and soon the actress was unrecognizable.

But she made a bigger splash when, after the movie “Monster,” she quickly got into shape and returned to her previous size. And many became interested in how Charlize Theron lost weight in such a short time.

For the film “Monster,” Theron received an Oscar and a Golden Globe. She already looked amazing at the awards ceremony, which amazed everyone and aroused admiration.

Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves

Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves have been friends since 1997. Then they starred together in the film “The Devil's Advocate.”

And in 2001, Theron and Reeves met again on the set - on the set of the film Sweet November. A spark ran between them.

Charlize and Keanu have never confirmed their romance. But they were constantly seen having dinner in restaurants until 2012. Then Theron and Reeves stopped communicating.

Sexy Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron was born on August 7, 1975 in a suburb of Johannesburg.
She got the amazing name from her father Charles, a Frenchman by nationality. Well, her mother, a German Gerda, “gave” her daughter sky-blue eyes. When the girl was 12 years old, her mother sent her to a performing arts boarding school in Johannesburg.
Gerda also decided to take her daughter away from the unsightly reality for the reason that her marriage to Charles Theron had suffered serious cracks. The father was addicted to alcohol and could not restrain himself from assault. Charlize grew up quickly; the beauty and charm of a fully formed girl could no longer be hidden. And although she was seriously interested in ballet (from time to time attending drama class), the girl understood that she would not become a professional ballerina. I was hampered by my tall height, which put a lot of stress on my knees. However, these same 180 cm helped her, 16 years old, win a modeling competition, where the main prize was a job in Milan. At the age of 16, she fearlessly stepped into the world of modeling, achieved something in it, but she never managed to sign a single worthwhile contract. The hunt for fortune continued in America; On the long flight to New York, the girl firmly decided to start a new life. For example, in choreography. She was willingly accepted into one of the prestigious ballet schools. Working as a waitress in restaurants helped pay for classes and inexpensive housing. However, a knee injury forced Charlize to say goodbye to the art of dancing forever. And suddenly the girl heard a voice behind her - someone urged her not to despair, because, they say, the check would be accepted at any post office. The voice belonged to John Crosby, a well-known talent manager in Hollywood. He had already been standing in line behind Charlize for an hour, admiring the blue-eyed blonde with the figure of a figurine, her pair of long legs, her correctly defined plump mouth... Having given the girl practical advice, he, as if by the way, asked if she was an actress? Realizing that this time fate had brought her to the right place and at the right time, Charlize whispered: yes, of course... John gave her his business card: “Call me.” So, after a few weeks, John agreed to become her agent. Undoubtedly, Charlize was lucky. In five years, she managed to star in ten great films. After a successful debut in the film “Two Days in the Valley,” although she did not wake up famous, she could well lay claim to the role of a new sex symbol in Hollywood: based on the number of nudity and sex scenes that Theron coped with without blinking an eye. Offers from directors poured in like a cornucopia. According to all the proposed scenarios, her heroines had to play naked for at least half the film, often without any text. Such offers upset Charlize, and she refused them for almost a year. “I know about my sexuality,” she did not hide. “Nudity doesn’t scare me, but I don’t want to put my body on display for anyone to judge.” The best advice I've received in my life is to never do what others expect of you." Meanwhile, she is very natural in erotic scenes, and some of them she recalls with pleasure and humor. For example, in the film “Reindeer Games,” in the scene where the main character meets a woman after several years in prison, it was necessary to depict the animal passion of sex-starved lovers. Director John Frankenheimer wanted it to be real passion, not “Hollywood-style love.” Before filming, John made them watch a French erotic film, which had several very “hot” love scenes. “John kept a close eye on us,” Charlize recalls. “Having sensed our excitement, he shouted to the cameramen: “Shoot!” Film everything!” It was hilarious. Ben and I began kissing frantically, tearing each other’s clothes, and in the end we grew so apart that we stopped watching the cameras...” Theron sometimes had to act in several films at the same time, and yet success in cinema did not infect her with “star fever.” Her hard work did not allow her to sleep more than seven hours a day. And when she needed to change her appearance for the film “The Devil’s Advocate,” she, without hesitation, cut off her amazing hair, turning from a platinum blonde into a blue-black vamp.

Charlize Theron and Sean Penn

However, Theron and Penn did not reach the altar. They separated in June 2020.

Theron commented on the breakup with Sean Penn: “We were together, but at some point our relationship exhausted itself. We both decided to go our separate ways. That's all".

Charlize Theron admitted that she cannot find a lover

The sexiest star in Hollywood: “I’m alone and I need a man!”

Charlize Theron has always been considered one of the most beautiful women on the planet. When the actress broke up with her common-law husband Stuart TOWNSEN in January last year, everyone was sure that she would not be alone for long. But almost a year and a half has passed since then, and the new boyfriend has not appeared next to the actress. The lack of a strong shoulder tormented the star so much that in an interview on CNN, Charlize frankly admitted: “I’m alone, and I need a man!”

The 35-year-old actress recently starred in TV presenter Piers Morgan . Talking about her personal life, the most beautiful blonde in Hollywood unexpectedly revealed her pain: she no longer wants to be alone and would like to start dating someone. The star admitted that it has always been difficult for her to start relationships, and this is her main problem. And then, in a fit of bitter frankness, she exclaimed: “I’m alone, and I need a man!” Although, it would seem, Charlize shouldn’t even have any difficulties with this: she has an angelic appearance, she is the “face” of the Dior fashion house (in collaboration with which the actress earned more than 6 million dollars).

with her common-law husband, actor Stuart Townsend , after 9 years of marriage.
The couple was considered one of the most stable and happy in Hollywood. Charlize has said more than once that she is thinking about children, but for now she feels that “the time has not come yet.” Stewart even said in an interview that he considers Charlize his wife, even though they didn’t have a wedding: “I’m married.” We didn't have a wedding or a church wedding or anything, but we consider ourselves husband and wife. We love each other and want to spend our lives together. I found an old Victorian ring with small forget-me-nots and gave it to Charlize as a sign of our commitment to each other. She doesn't take it off.

It was rumored that the couple broke up due to the fact that the relationship between them had cooled somewhat: “Stewart is very close to Charlize, but she says that she understood that their relationship was over,” a close friend of the actress told the Daily Mail.
“They became more like brother and sister than lovers.” It's all over between them. Perhaps the star couple's relationship broke up also because Charlize was always more successful than her lover. While the actress was earning $10 million per film, Stewart's career was going downhill. He very painfully experienced the fact that Viggo Mortensen .

After breaking up with Stewart, Charlize never found a worthy replacement. Once the paparazzi caught Theron kissing Keanu Reeves , and after that rumors even spread that the actors had moved in together and were living under the same roof. However, since then they have never been seen together again: Keanu lives his life, and Charlize lives hers.
