By accident rather than design Charlize Theron took a three-year break from acting recently. Starring in Jason Reitman’s hilarious black comedy Young Adult marks a welcome return and it was, she says, the best working experience she’s ever had.
“It really was. And that’s quite something because I’ve had really amazing experiences. I think it was a combination of several things – the role, working with Jason, the material and the fact that I hadn’t really acted for three years.
“And to go back and have my first film in three years be Young Adult with Jason on a 30 day shoot, no hair and make up, sweat pants every day, and go to work and do …

Here is the video of Charlize from her appearance on Ellen, Live with Kelly and Chelsea Lately.
Enjoy!

Live with Kelly – December 9, 2011

As promised, I’ve added the Jay Leno interview of Charlize from last week. You can watch the interview below:

Our lady Charlize is nominated for Best Actress in a comedy/musical for next years Golden Globes. She was also interviewed by Jay Leno on December 12. So sorry for not announcing it beforehand. I do have the video and will gladly post it asap! I’ve added photos of her from the interview and a new photoshoot. Here they are:

Hello folks, in case you missed it yesterday, Charlize and Jason Reitman was interviewed by New York Times about their latest film, “Young Adult”. You can watch the full interview below if you missed it.

I’ve also added photos of Charlize from the New York premiere and her appearance from Late Show with David Letterman. I’ll be adding videos of the interview including videos from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Today Show and Live with Kelly. So stay tuned!

Much like her character in the new film “Young Adult,” Charlize Theron is a stalker. While the film’s Mavis goes after an old boyfriend, Theron has begun targeting interesting directors willing to see beyond her striking beauty.
After having taken on challenging roles in the past only to have them disappoint in the execution, the 36-year-old actress now looks to work with visionaries at the helm of her films. She sought out Jason Reitman at last year’s Academy Awards, where the writer-director had been nominated for his George Clooney-starring “Up in the Air,” Theron’s favorite film of 2009.
“We were walking into the theater, and he and his wife were in front of us. I thought, ‘Oh, …

Unlike other movie stars who slip out of the spotlight for an extended period, there was no spectacular box-office flop, no public fall from grace, no stint in rehab. The lady in question was simply busy pursuing other kinds of creative endeavors. But—as the résumé of nearly 40 films, a mantel containing a slew of coveted acting trophies, and the stacks of high-glam magazine covers confirm—Charlize Theron remains a movie star, and she is back.
The actress, whose early career received attention more for her uncommon beauty and statuesque screen presence than for her increasingly compelling acting skills, is back on the big screen once again after a lengthy sabbatical. And now, on the brink of …

For a woman who’s been honored with nearly every important award that Hollywood has to offer, from an Academy Award to a Golden Globe, not to mention coveted titles like Esquire’s “Sexiest Woman Alive” and Spike’s “Decade of Hotness,” it seems like it’s been awhile since we’ve seen Charlize Theron in action.
Thankfully the nearly three-year wait for a Theron movie to hit theaters is almost over. Her latest flick is the buzzed-about Jason Reitman-directed, Diablo Cody-scripted comedy “Young Adult,” which gets a limited release next week; the highly anticipated “Snow White and the Huntsman” hits theaters next summer.
MTV News recently caught up with the down-to-earth Oscar winner as she did press for “Young Adult,” and …

After a hiatus from leading roles, Charlize Theron returns full-on with this month’s Young Adult, a film that showcases her Oscar-worthy talents—and the liberating energy of her newly single life.
“We should keep it classy,” Charlize Theron says.
It’s a warm autumn evening in Los Angeles, and I’m sitting with Theron at a near-empty Japanese restaurant. Up the road, Barack Obama is wooing the beautiful and boldfaced at a $17,900-a-plate fund-raiser, and for hours, the Hollywood sky has rattled with helicopters. But this feels like a much better place to be, across a small table from the 36-year-old native South African and Oscar winner who director Jason Reitman (Up in the Air, Juno) says is …

Charlize Theron says she tries to keep her personal life as private as possible on the advice of her mother.
Charlize Theron’s mother has taught her to never give too much away.
The Oscar-winning actress – who recently split from long-term partner Stuart Townsend – likes to keep some things to herself as she believes it improves the quality of her life.
She said: “There are little things that I want to hang on to for myself. I really do believe you can make certain choices in your life that give you the life you really do like.
“There are certain things in my life that I hold on to very sacredly. Maybe it was the way I was …
