Q&A with Charlize
Categories: Interviews
|
Charlize Theron, 33, was born near Johannesburg and moved to the US in her teens to model and to dance with the Joffrey Ballet. In 1996, she made her film debut, in 2 Days In The Valley, and in 2004 won the best actress Oscar for her portrayal of a serial killer in Monster. Her latest movie, The Burning Plains, is out now. She lives in Los Angeles with the actor Stuart Townsend.
When were you happiest?
I couldn’t answer that. There are so many amazing things – falling in love, winning an Oscar, moving my mom out to America and just having a simple dinner with great friends.
What is your greatest fear?
That I become weak and not brave enough to live the life I want to live.
What is your earliest memory?
Falling into a pool and my mother diving in in her robe to save me. She says I was around two.

Charlize Theron Loved Being Directed by Boyfriend in “Battle in Seattle”
Categories: Interviews
|
Charlize Theron said she felt great while being directed by her boyfriend in their latest movie – “Battle in Seattle.”
“It was great. He loved directing and I’ve never seen him so happy – which hurts my feelings as his girlfriend!” the 33-year-old actress told reporters, according to People Magazine.
Theron said Stuart Townsend, her boyfriend of seven years, prepared five years for this project. The actress told reporters that during a vacation to Fiji, she was a bit disappointed that Townsend had a lot of research to do, while she was in the mood for love.
“I would be like, ‘Romance time!’ But he would have a pile of research and I would be like, ‘Oh my God, this is so not sexy!’ But that passion paid off,” she said.
On the other hand, the Irish actor who now makes his directorial debut with “Battle in Seattle,” said that, although he loved working with his girlfriend, it was kind of embarrassing. Theron once called him by his pet name and then all the crew started to call him by that name which was pretty embarrassing, Townsend said.
“I said to them, ‘That’s not cool. I’m trying to be a serious director here,’” the 35-year-old Irishman told the crew.
When asked to reveal the pet name, Townsend refused.

Categories: Interviews

Charlize Theron talked about her views on marriage and children when she was interviewed on the American talk show ‘The View’.
According to US Magazine, Theron was a guest on the show, to promote her film ‘Battle in Seattle’.
The film was written and directed by her long-term Irish partner Stuart Townsend.
When asked about marriage the 33-year-old Oscar-winner said: “I just know I don’t want it, Stuart doesn’t want it. Why mess with a good thing?
“Even when I was little, I never dreamed about walking down the aisle.”
When asked about having children, the actress joked: “Okay, let me break it to you, I actually have seven children nobody knows about!”
However, she added: “I always wanted to be a mom because I have always had such a close relationship with my own mom.”

Charlize Theron: I am no pin-up
Categories: Interviews
|
WHEN Charlize Theron appears onscreen in her latest film, Hancock, it’s as the archetypal soccer mom; a vision of all-American apple-pie goodness, blonde and peachy, wearing a look of tender concern towards her blonde and peachy son.
She looks as if she was born for the part, raised on a diet of milk and cookies in the ’burbs before setting off for Hollywood – which just goes to show.
She has the looks and the accent, but English isn’t even her first language: she’s actually an Afrikaner from small-town South Africa.
She grew up under apartheid. When she was 15 years old, her mother gunned down her alcoholic father on the family smallholding after he turned violent.
So much for soccer mom. But Theron’s cheesecake looks are always a bit of a red herring. She’s known for her beauty – how could she not be?

Uncovering Charlize Theron
Categories: Hancock and Interviews

She is, as Glamour magazine writer Skip Hollandsworth aptly pointed out, “fiercely intelligent” and “gloriously opinionated,” somebody we locals love to describe as “beauty and brains,” and, again to quote Hollandsworth, “an actress who refuses to be shallow, on-screen or off.”
I saw that for myself when I did a one-on-one with Charlize Theron during the Hollywood junket for Hancock in New York mid-June. Produced by Columbia Pictures (and directed by Peter Berg, an actor in his own right), Hancock (now showing nationwide) stars in the title role Will Smith with whom Theron first worked in The Legend of Bagger Vance in 2000.
Looking at me with piercing hazel eyes and brushing her shoulder-length blonde hair away from her lovely face, Theron would tackle your questions not in mono-syllables like most blondes would but in long, elaborate sentences, firm and sure of her “gloriously opinionated” answers.

Will Smith wants a drink, Charlize Theron wants to fly, Jason Reitman wants another kiss!
Categories: Interviews and Media Alerts
|
“Hancock” stars Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman talk about why they wanted to be in the movie and how the film finds the human being in a superhero.
But Jason lets it spill that he tried to drag out his sex scene with Charlize Theron. Wonder if she noticed? Will says he found it hard to concentrate while shooting with fans screaming at him on Hollywood Blvd. Duh.
As for superpowers, Will wants Hancock’s ability to drink like a fish. Charlize and Jason just want to want to be able to fly.
We’ll like both, please.

Categories: Interviews and Media Alerts

Charlize Theron is in the mood to talk. This month the notoriously private star talks to ELLE about marriage, babies, her body and why she won’t become another Hollywood party girl.
In the new issue of ELLE, on sale tomorrow, Charlize reveals how it’s her long-term partner, Irish actor Stuart Townsend who has been pushing her to open up about their idyllic, 7-year relationship, and the reasons why she’ll never marry him. ‘ I want to know that I wake up every morning because I want to, not because a pieces of paper says so’ she reveals. However he does call her his wife and she does wear a gold band of forget-me knots on her wedding finger that Townsend gave her ‘ I wear it all the time…it signifies my commitment to him.’ She will be having babies with him though, ‘ I be delighted if I found out I was pregnant tomorrow. I know I’m going to be a mother.. and Stuart will be our baby’s father.’

Hancock a crazy ride, says Charlize
Categories: Hancock and Interviews

Charlize Theron stars in Hancock, released in cinemas on Wednesday. The stunning actress tells Kate Whiting what drew her to the film about an unconventional superhero, and what it was like working with co-star Will Smith
Summer wouldn’t be the same without the obligatory action blockbusters competing for box-office ratings, yet it’s rare to find an Oscar-winning actress and an Oscar-nominated actor sharing top billing on one such “popcorn” movie.
But then Hancock, starring Charlize Theron and Will Smith, is no ordinary action adventure – it’s a superhero film with a difference.
“I think this will be the craziest ride an audience has ever had,” says Charlize, with a wry smile.
“I have been in this business for 14 years and I walked out of the theatre after a screening and told my manager that this was ‘original’. I do not throw that word around. I have never seen anything like this. We took a genre that audiences are quite familiar with and did something unique.”
