Scans of Charlize’s interview with her cast mates AnnaSophia Robb and Nick Stahl in the March 2008 issue of Interview are now available in the gallery. Enjoy!

Charlize Theron is the happiest of celebrities. The stunning South African-born Oscar winner may regularly grace magazine covers and seems to live the high life – and yes, when working she travels with extensive entourages. Yet her best moments, she says, are the smaller personal ones, spent with Irish actor Stuart Townsend, her partner in love and in intrepid adventures, on the hoof to one of the far-flung reaches of the planet.
When she recently took a year and a half away from acting to develop her own films and regain her energy – following her Oscar campaign for North Country and her taxing stint as an action hero in Aeon Flux, she naturally took off …

“That’S my natural hair colour,” snaps Charlize Theron, nodding at the poster for her new film, In The Valley Of Elah, in which she plays a no-nonsense policewoman in Tennessee doing some pretty hardcore murder investigation. Detective Emily Saunders’s hair is a middling brown, parted in the middle and scraped back into a ponytail. “You know, if you don’t consider the character beautiful, that is really me,” she goes on, brutally. “My natural hair colour, very little make-up and no prosthetics. That is me.”
It is hardly surprising that Theron is tired of journalists – or anyone else – marvelling at the fact that a star with such old-style Hollywood looks, the kind that make you …

Earlier this week, EW.com caught up with Charlize Theron, who was in Park City promoting Sleepwalking, a drama in which she plays the unstable, absentee mother of a 12-year-old girl (Bridge to Terabithia’s AnnaSophia Robb). Theron also served as a producer on the film, just as she did on 2003′s Monster, the dark drama for which she won a Best Actress Oscar. The thoughtful star shared her feelings about how she chooses her roles, the ways in which women are portrayed in movies, and whether her increasing workload behind the camera may one day include directing.

Charlize Theron seems an even-tempered person, with amused, intelligent views on her life, her work and the state of the world. But one sure-fire way to rattle her is to ask why she doesn’t play more glamorous roles.
On the face of it, this isn’t a stupid question. South African-born Theron, 32, is among the better-looking members of her peer group – leading actresses based in Los Angeles – in which looks are a virtual pre-condition of entry. Yet it’s true that her stature derives largely from roles that disguise her beauty.
She won a best actress Oscar four years ago via this route, gaining 30 pounds to play the serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster. Throughout …

She’s a beautiful Hollywood star, but Charlize Theron is much more interested in building a reputation as a serious actress. The Oscar winner – whose partner is Irish actor Stuart Townsend – talks to Ben Falk about surviving her traumatic background.
Who would have thought it? A stunning, leggy, blonde former model is now one of the most respected character actresses in Hollywood.
At just 32, Charlize Theron has an Oscar on her mantelpiece and is once again ditching the fair locks to play a dogged detective in Crash director Paul Haggis’s upmarket drama In The Valley Of Elah.
“It is the best thing that cigarettes have ever given me,” laughs the South-African born actress, who met Haggis …

“I’m going to do something filthy,” says Charlize Theron. “Is that all right?” Go ahead, I say, intrigued. She places a cigarette between her lips and lights up. How disappointing.
Smokers are a dying breed in Los Angeles, but Theron partly has her “filthy” habit to thank for her role in Paul Haggis’s haunting Iraq war film, In the Valley of Elah. “It’s the one and only good thing that will ever come from smoking,” she says, smiling, her green eyes obscured behind designer sunglasses. The story goes that it was her and Haggis’s mutual craving for nicotine that first brought them together. “We were doing the awards circle and we were the only two …

It’s official. Charlize has been named Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive. It’s not like any of us had any doubt that it was her, but it’s still nice to finally see it announced. The photos from the spread can be viewed here at esquire.com or here in the gallery. The interview is behind the cut below. Happy reading and viewing the super sexy photos.
