CHARLIZE THERON DOES ‘T’ MAGAZINE
Posted Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
In the new issue of T magazine, Sleepwalking star Charlize Theron gets candid about everything from her weight and aging to the paparazzi all while dishing out a few wise words of advice.
Charlize on not losing weight for modeling: “I had the capability to be a bigger model than I was. They were always telling me, ‘Lose five pounds and you’ll be a supermodel.’ But I saw modeling like waitressing — it was a way to pay for another career, and that career was dance.”Charlize on aging: “When you’re young, there’s nothing but excitement. The older you get, the more fearful you become. When you’re young, you don’t think in terms of danger.”
Charlize on fame: “I don’t like the tactics of the paparazzi, but in some ways, I almost prefer their unflattering shots to the glossy images in magazines. I like to see the human underneath.”
Charlize on gaining weight for her role as Aileen Wuornos in Monster: “It’s naive and a little sweet that people think a weight gain constitutes acting. In the case of Aileen Wuornos, there were reasons for her size: She’d led a homeless life, and if you sleep under a bridge, you don’t go to the gym. Your body looks a certain way.”

Wow I don’t know too many actresses who actually LIKE those unflattering pictures of themselves in magazines. I know I wouldn’t! I can see where she’s coming from though about it making seemingly perfect people look more human but some are just embarassing!

Charlize is so level headed. A fine example of a good quality woman and actress. Agree about the excessive photoshopping - pap photos show us what the folks really look like, and that’s doing a service, given the body image issues that abound amongst (especially) young girls.
