Charlize Theron has revealed the bizarre nickname bestowed on her by former co-star Jeremy Renner.
Apparently the South African actress goes by the name of “Ass-Nuts” when she is in the company of her American friend.
As to the origins of the moniker, Charlize is keeping schtum. All she will reveal is that it stems from a boozy evening.

Could this be a casting development for the upcoming Mad Max sequel/reboot? There have been rumors floating around regarding the fourth installment of the action franchise that made Mel Gibson a star for years.

Don’t call Charlize Theron anything but an actress. “When somebody calls me a movie star, I worry a bit,” she says. “It used to be about the work, but now it means you show up at the Oscars and look good.”
The South African beauty, 34, who moved to New York to model and pursue ballet as a teenager, admits she started acting when a knee injury forced her to quit dancing.
“The whole model-turned-actress thing doesn’t have a good track record,” she tells the Style section of the U.K’s Sunday Times newspaper, “Today, younger girls are addicted to the fame, but that is not me. I keep all that stuff private.”
And true to her word, there …

She’s a beautiful, successful actress with millions in the bank, an Oscar on the sideboard and an enviable long-term relationship – but there’s still one thing that keeps Charlize Theron awake at night: the fear that her cupboards are messy.
The 34-year-old South African has admitted she has obsessive-compulsive disorder, which makes her irrationally anxious about tidy cabinets.
The actress, who won her Oscar for Monster in 2004, said: ‘I actually have a serious problem – obsessive-compulsive disorder. I don’t do counting or anything like that. I’m good with chaos, I just don’t like it when chaos is hidden.
