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 …

“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.

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 …

“ARE you flirting with me? I’m taken. I’m in a relationship. Back off, lady…” teased South African-born beauty Charlize Theron in a recent interview in London to promote her latest movie Hancock (which she stars alongside Will Smith and Jason Bateman).
The 33-year-old former fashion model, currently engaged to Irish actor Stuart Townsend, was responding to a question as to whether she enjoys the physical aspect of the acting, especially during the fight scenes in the comedy/drama/action Hancock, directed by Peter Berg.
“With my background of growing up on stage as a ballerina, I have always enjoyed being in a form of physical performance to tell stories — through body movements than words. It’s great to be …

The Dish Rag talked with Charlize Theron recently about her new summer film, “Hancock,” starring Will Smith, the superpowers she’d love to have in real life, her beauty secrets, and what it’s really like to be dubbed a Hollywood sex symbol.
DR: Are you a superhero in “Hancock?”
CT: Well, I think we’ve tried to make people believe many different things, and I guess it’s pretty obvious that we’re trying to keep some things a secret. I just hope people aren’t expecting some crazy surprise. I think what we’re trying to hold onto is what I loved about the material, which was just a chemistry between two characters that I haven’t seen before.
Obviously, it’s a …

I’ll have scans available as soon as the magazine hits stores in my area. Until then, here is the interview from Glamour.com. Happy reading!

Hey, it’s Charlize!
She’s smart, opinionated and suffers no fools.flip the page to learn how she turned a tough childhood into the happiest life in Hollywood.
When people in the movie business talk about Charlize Theron, they use a lot of predictable descriptions. Beautiful, of course. Sexy, ditto. Bombshell? Yeah, yeah. But those who actually have had conversations with the woman will use adjectives you probably wouldn’t expect. “Fiercely intelligent,” for one. “Gloriously opinionated,” for another. And how about this: She’s an actress who, in the words of one high-powered film agent, “refuses to …

Scans of Charlize’s feature in the June 2008 issue of W Magazine are now available here in the gallery. The new photoshoot is gorgeous! Happy reading everyone.
