Golden Globe best actress nominee for Jason Reitman’s “Young Adult”

“I really wanted to be away for the holidays but I’m working in London. I don’t know when I’m going to wrap this film (‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ with Kristen Stewart) and how exhausted I’m going to be. I’m playing it by ear.

“Every year I spend my Christmas differently. Sometimes I like to travel, sometimes I like to stay home and cook dinner. I didn’t really grow up with Christmas being a specific thing because it’s summer holiday in South Africa (where I was born). We tend to load the car up and drive to the beach. Santa Claus puts on a Speedo and comes down the lagoon. That’s very South African. You have barbecue and watermelon. For me, that’s what Christmas always represents when I was a child growing up. Not the tree, snow and gifts. We didn’t do any of that stuff.”

Speaking to Total Film Magazine, the lovely Charlize Theron answered a few questions about Prometheus, the Alien prequel that’s being marketed as not a prequel. Here’s what Theron had to say:

When we asked if her role in the Alien sorta-prequel would be comparable to Sigourney Weaver’s iconic Ripley:

THERON: “No, I actually don’t play the heroine in it; that’s Noomi Rapace. I play somewhat of a villain in it.” [My character] is not a believer, she’s not a scientist, she is the red tape that everyone has to go through. She’s working with the company that’s sponsoring this whole thing and you can feel she definitely has an agenda, which we pick up in the third act. She’s more quiet thunder.

On whether any xenomorphs burst out of unsuspecting chests in Prometheus:

THERON: “Maybe! I mean if you’re a Ridley Scott fan and you love the genre, then you’re going to be happy. You’re going to be very, very happy.”

There is more from Theron in the latest issue of Total Film so keep an eye out for it at you local newsstand.

Prometheus will hit theaters in the US on June 8, 2012 through 20th Century Fox.

With the first trailer now online, anticipation for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is only going to grow in the months to come. Today, Total Film caught up with one of the film’s leads, Charlize Theron, to discuss her role in the sci-fi thriller.

“I play somewhat of a villain in it,” she says. “…She’s not a believer. She’s not a scientist. She is the red tape that everyone has to go through… She’s working with the company that’s sponsoring this whole thing and you can feel she definitely has an agenda, which we pick up in the third act. She’s more quiet thunder.”

Also starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Logan Marshall-Green and Patrick Wilson, Prometheus hits theaters on June 8th.

The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life’s ultimate mystery.

Charlize Theron was left red-faced when she was reported to hotel security for having her “boobs out”.

The actress has recalled her most embarrassing moment ever in a new interview.

She remembers going into a hotel bathroom to do a quick wardrobe check and unintentionally flashing another patron.

“I just had one [embarrassing moment]. I went in to the bathroom with my make-up artist Shane,” she told Total Film. “I’m standing there with my boobs out and this lady walks in and goes ‘Aargh!’ Then Shane goes ‘Argh!’ They both ran into corners and I’m topless in the middle of the room. Then the lady calls security…”

The Oscar-winning actress is still humiliated about the incident.

Recently she has had to act out even worse behaviour in her new movie Young Adult.

Charlize portrayed Mavis, a politically incorrect and outlandish divorcée who is trying to steal away a married man.

The star admitted her mom was a little uncomfortable watching the movie.

“My mother told me after the film, ‘I really enjoyed that, but you were a little embarrassing,’” she laughed.

Charlize Theron has joked she will attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony “covered in mud”.

The star has been nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical for her role in Young Adult.

However, the actress joked that she would ditch her usual red carpet style for the event in January.

“I’m thinking I’m going covered in mud this year,” she told Entertainment Tonight.

Charlize is thrilled to be in the running for the prestigious prize again.

She has been nominated for a Golden Globe three times in the past and won once in 2003 for her performance in Monster.

She went on to explain how she first heard about her new nomination.

“I got a call from my friend and publicist at 5.30. And that was a really nice 5.30am call,” she smiled. “I was really excited and my mom called and emails started pouring in – it was so lovely.”

Diablo Cody, who wrote the movie, was also delighted to hear that Charlize had been recognised.

She sent the actress a bunch of flowers to congratulate her.

“I haven’t spoken to her yet, but I did send her a lovely bouquet. I’m really excited, I’m really proud of this movie,” she enthused. “To me the critical attention has been really gratifying. I’m happy.”
