Biography and career of Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron was born in the city of Benoni, a suburb of Johannesburg, which is located in the northeast of South Africa. Charlize's parents are Europeans who design and build roads in South Africa. The future actress spent her childhood on the farm of her parents, who instilled in her a love of performing arts at an early age. Charlize attended ballet classes and later attended the National School of the Arts in Johannesburg.

At the age of 16, Charlize Theron took part in her first beauty contest in Johannesburg and, having received first place, signed a contract with a Milan modeling agency. According to the terms of the agreement with the modeling agency, Charlize was supposed to participate in an Italian beauty contest, so after leaving her father’s house, she moved to work in Europe.

However, the passion for ballet dancing did not leave the young Theron for a minute, so having earned some money, Charlize moved to New York, where she entered the Joffrey Ballet Choreographic School, dreaming of traveling around the world with this famous ballet group.
Perhaps fate turned its face to Charlize, playing a cruel joke on her - the young ballerina suffered a knee injury and never appeared on the ballet stage again. Not wanting to return to South Africa, where the girl had no prospects, Theron moved to Miami and began working as a fashion model full time. Later, on the advice of her mother, Charlize Theron settled in Los Angeles in the hope of conquering Hollywood.
The beginning of the success of a Hollywood actress
Charlize Theron began her career with a funny and surprising incident, after which you can really believe in fate. While cashing a check at the bank that her mother sent to pay for a rented apartment, Charlize was faced with a refusal, since the manager, playing it safe, refused to accept the check from South Africa.
The angry Theron immediately spoke sharply in all African dialects, mixing them with English and thereby expressing an impartial opinion towards the bank employees. As fate would have it, Hollywood talent agent John Crosby was also in the same bank, who liked the charismatic character of the South African model and invited Charlize to her first screen tests.
Charlize entered acting classes with a strong desire to get rid of her South African accent - a requirement that was first voiced to her by her agent. Eight months later, after a funny incident in a bank, the aspiring actress received a cameo role in the horror film “Children of the Corn 3: City Harvest” and ended up in the catalogs of young Hollywood actresses.
Her first important work was the role of the sexy girl Sally in the television film “Hollywood Secret” directed by Reynaldo Villalobos. With her tall stature and stunning model looks, Charlize received her first big movie role in 1996, starring as Tina Powers in the Tom Hanks comedy-drama “That Thing You Do.” It is curious that this film about the fictional 1960s group “The Wonders” not only earned an Oscar nomination, but is actually the debut of Charlize Theron as a film actress and actor Tom Hanks as a director.

The rise of his career and the film “The Devil's Advocate”
Real success and audience sympathy came to Charlize Theron in 1997, when she, along with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino, played one of the main roles in the film directed by Taylor Hackford “The Devil's Advocate”. From this moment on, Charlize's stage role as a film actress of the supernatural and adventure genre was formed. Her heroines are girls with unprecedented energy and a difficult fate. It is interesting that in the process of preparing for this film, Theron attended consultations with a psychotherapist for many months, trying to get used to the image of her heroine Mary-Anne Lomax, who, in the plot of the film, loses her mind.

Charlize Theron's first Oscar
The Hollywood actress received her first Oscar for her role as prostitute and serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the biographical crime drama directed by Patty Jenkins, “Monster” (2003). Charlize, in order to get used to the image of her heroine, gained a dozen extra pounds and endured excesses of makeup throughout the entire filming process. Film critics called Theron’s role one of the “great works in world cinema,” and the actress herself, in addition to the Oscar, received the Golden Globe and Silver Bear (Berlin) awards in the category “Best Dramatic Actress.” After such unprecedented success, Charlize came to her homeland, where she was greeted with jubilation as the first South African actress to win such a prestigious award in the field of world cinema. Nelson Mandela himself congratulated Theron.

Participation in the film "Fast and Furious"
Charlize Theron is the highest paid actress in Hollywood, whose fees sometimes reach fabulous sums. Thus, for the drama “North Country” and the fantasy action film “Eon Flux”, released in 2005, she earned more than $10 million. However, after the success of her role in the film “Monster,” Charlize was unable to repeat her triumph, although she starred in countless films in the action and fantasy genre, such as: “Hancock” (2008), “Prometheus” (2012), “Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) and many others.

People started talking about the actress again after her role as Cypher in the action film Fast and Furious 8 (2017) directed by Felix Gary Gray. The film itself was included in the top list of films that have surpassed $1 billion at the box office, and the heroine Charlize was named by critics as one of the best discoveries of the season. Indeed, it is in “Fast and the Furious” that it becomes noticeable that it’s as if new life has been breathed into Theron—the actress played this role so dynamically and vividly.

Charlize Theron: haircuts now and in her youth
Even in her youth, after her participation in the film “The Devil’s Advocate,” Charlize Theron became an “icon” of fashionable haircuts, and her “wavy shaggy” hairstyle, which stylists gave her for the role of Mary-Ann Lomax, gained extraordinary popularity in the early 2000s. It’s paradoxical, but the Hollywood actress changes her hair styling style faster than these photos can be published in the press.

Another, no less famous, Charlize hairstyle is the so-called “pixie”. In 2014, the film actress starred in the sci-fi action movie Mad Max: Fury Road and for her role in this film, she had to cut her hair like a Marine. Therefore, at the red carpet of the first screening of this blockbuster, Theron appeared with a short pixie hairstyle - winning a lot of applause and almost going blind from the intense flashes of the paparazzi.

In 2021, most of the fans of the Hollywood actress have stylistic problems. Charlize Theron starred in the movie “Fast and Furious 8” wearing long and chic dreadlocks, which are almost impossible to reproduce without professional stylists. The Charlize dreadlocks hairstyle is becoming popular, despite its high cost.

New hairstyles
Now Charlize Theron has taken part in the film directed by Justin Lin, “Fast and Furious 9,” which was released in May 2021. The Hollywood actress, as usual, plays the role of Cypher, an anti-heroine who first appears in the eighth part of “The Fast and the Furious.” However, not a trace remains of her gorgeous dreadlocks. Instead, Theron appears in a popular action movie, in the most ordinary form, and is immediately criticized for being too banal.

Interestingly, as it later turned out, Charlize’s haircut is not entirely simple, and is an exact copy of the famous red-red hairstyle of the style icon, supermodel Linda Evangelista. In May 2021, after criticism of her haircut, the Hollywood actress again changed her image, appearing in the classic fluffy and wavy “shaggy” that once made her popular.

It should be noted that this is not Charlize’s first role where stylists give her a Linda Evangelista haircut. In the summer of 2021, it presented the fantastic action film The Old Guard, in which Theron plays the main role. And even at a superficial glance, it is clear that the hairstyle of the Hollywood film actress is very similar to the short haircut called “Linda,” which was popular in the early 1990s.

Therefore, many people find it difficult to get up in the morning. In addition, your metabolism slows down during the day, and evening workouts speed it up again.

Personal life of Charlize Theron and children
Hollywood movie star Charlize Theron had several affairs throughout her career, which, however, did not make her a happy wife and mother. While still an aspiring film actress, she dated the lead singer of the band Third Eye Blind, Stephen Jenkins. The couple separated in 2002.

Her next romance was with Irish actor Stuart Townsend and the press started talking about their relationship as the most successful and full of mutual understanding and love. However, in 2010, Charlize broke off her relationship with Townsend, calling it boring and unpromising.

In 2014, the public's attention to the Hollywood actress was attracted by her affair with Sean Pen - Charlize was 39 years old at the time, and the popular actor celebrated his 54th birthday. Literally a year later, the star couple broke up, and various rumors began to spread about Charlize’s character, which the Hollywood star did not comment on.

Charlize Theron is a member of several human rights organizations that protect the rights of the poorest people on our planet. Remembering her youth in South Africa, when her family was experiencing financial difficulties, the Hollywood actress adopted two black children from South Africa - a boy, Jackson, and a girl, August. After breaking up with Sean Pen, Charlize no longer goes on dates and devotes all her free time to raising her children.
I've been single for five years now, but I don't feel abandoned. With the advent of children, my life began to have other goals. Being a mother is a big responsibility.

It is curious that in her numerous interviews, the actress constantly hints that she is ready to go on dates, but so far she has not received such offers. After such statements, fans of the Hollywood star began to speculate on social networks what is the reason for Charlize’s lack of popularity among men - is the problem in the complex character of the actress or is it all about her age?
Charlize Theron's transgender child
Charlize Theron is an active human rights activist for the LGBT community and was spotted by the ubiquitous paparazzi at a rally in support of same-sex minorities, which took place in California in May 2009. Charlize is not the only Hollywood actress who supports LGBT people. In 2014, her colleague, actress and model Cara Delevingne also supported non-standard minorities by publishing a post on Instagram, and film actress Megan Fox, in an interview with Esquire magazine back in 2009, admitted her bisexuality.
In 2021, Charlize was spotted hanging out in Beverly Hills with her son Jackson, who was dressed as a girl. The press, trying to understand why her son dresses so strangely, showered the Hollywood star with many questions, until finally Theron gave several interviews about this. In them, the adoptive mother admitted that Jackson, at a very young age, asked to call himself a girl and is currently transgender, and she is trying to dress him appropriately.

Also, Charlize Theron strongly recommended that publications covering the world of show business call Jackson with a female pronoun.
Children are born as they are. And where they both find themselves when they grow up, and who they want to become, is not for me to decide. It became more and more difficult for us over time, because the older she got, the more she looked like a girl. But people still wrote about her using the wrong pronouns, and even I myself still talked about her in the press using the wrong pronoun.

Film debut
8 months after moving to Los Angeles, Charlize Theron was cast in her first role, albeit without words. The girl appeared in a 3-second episode in the film “Children of the Corn 3: City Harvest.” This was followed by a role in the pilot episode of Hollywood Confidential, but the pilot was a flop and the project was cancelled.
Charlize Theron's first serious role can be considered the crime drama “Two Days in the Valley” by John Hertzfeld, where the actress played the girlfriend of one of the main characters. Another supporting role awaited her in the Tom Hanks comedy “That Thing You Do.” It's funny that as a child, Charlize fell head over heels in love with the actor after watching the movie Splash.

In 1997, she was offered to star in the film “The Devil's Advocate.” This was the actress’s first truly major work: the role required both creative and financial expenses from Charlize (several times the girl flew to auditions in New York at her own expense). Charlize played on a level with the main characters of the film - Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves.

The next role in Woody Allen's film "Celebrity" also required Charlize Theron to fully commit. The girl turned into a supermodel, suffering from a rare disease - the ability to experience an orgasm from a simple touch.

A little later, he played in the film “Mighty Joe Young” from Walt Disney Studios. The film failed at the box office, but critics praised Charlize's performance, saying that the young actress literally brought the film back from the dead.
Charlize Theron's participation saved even completely lost films
In 1999, the actress appeared in the film “The Astronaut’s Wife” along with Johnny Depp. Further - more: Charlize Theron's filmography was replenished with Lasse Hallström's masterpiece film "The Cider House Rules", where the girl's heroine began an affair with Tobey Maguire's character, the films "Gambling" with Ben Affleck, "The Yards" with Mark Wahlberg, "Military Diver" with Robert De Niro, the drama “The Legend of Bagger Vans” with Will Smith and the epic melodrama “Sweet November” with Keanu Reeves, who is well known to Charlize.

Although "Sweet November" was received positively by critics, Charlize was "honoured" with a Golden Raspberry anti-award for her role.
