Charlize Theron strikes a fierce pose on the August cover of Elle UK magazine.
Inside the mag, the Hancock actress opens up about all things family and marriage.
Charlize on why she will never marry boyfriend Stuart Townsend: “I want to know that I wake up every morning with him because I want to, not because a piece of paper says so…I believe in love but I don’t believe in marriage.”Charlize on a ring on her finger given to her by Stuart: “It was a Victorian thing. You put in a lock of hair or a little note to remind you of your loved one. Stuart gave it to me. Every time I go away he puts in a little love note. I wear it all the time. It’s not an engagement ring but it is a ring that signifies my commitment to him. I couldn’t imagine being more in love with anyone than I am with Stuart. He is beyond special. ‘The most amazing thing about Stuart is he got through to me on a level that no one else did. In my life there have been two people who formed me. My mother made me strong and wanted me to be invincible. Stuart made me softer. He was one of the few guys who wasn’t afraid of me. What he saw was not toughness but vulnerability. I am massively vulnerable, and for so long I just worked hard to cover that up. Stuart wasn’t scared to confront that. He is the one man who never worries about kicking me up the backside. It’s a good thing.”
Charlize on Hollywood’s obsession with weight: “I don’t have hang-ups about the way I look. I can see myself in the mirror when I’m all done up and think I look pretty hot, but I can see myself every day and see this round Dutch doll face. We’ve got so crazy about our faces and our bodies. I guard my privacy partly because I like to keep my head free from all that paranoia. I’m not super-skinny. I have curves and they belong on my body. I put on two stone for Monster but I also lost two stone when I played a woman with cancer in Sweet November [alongside Keanu Reeves].”
Charlize on having kids: “‘I’d be delighted if I found out I was pregnant tomorrow. But I’d also be delighted if nothing happened for a couple of years. I know I’m going to be a mother. And Stuart will be our baby’s father. That is something I’m sure of.”

Who says ‘two stone’?

I adore her, but I wish she would stop sayin “I believe in love but not marriage” I mean, some peopel want to have both you know, because when people say it it makes me think they are implying that marriage will ruin love. I don’t know.

MeSoup : i understand the way she feels. love does not need marriage to flourish. and sometimes, marriage does ruin a relationship. as long as it works for her, who cares?

She has her head on straight and is totally grounded. Charlize also does a lot of humanitarian work too. Couldn’t admire her more! The difference between a celebrity like Charlize and one like Maniston is oceans.

She’s my idea of what a “movie star” should be. All class…..

What wonderful things she said about her guy Stuart. And he’s just as sexy as Charlize, in my opinion. Good for the both of them!

“I’m not super skinny”….ok Charlize keep telling yourself that. Wow, she’s really the picture of curves!? What does she think that she represents the typical female body?
July 2nd, 2008 at 8:28 pm
she’s a moviestar all the way. i’ve always liked her because there’s still a little mystery to her. you don’t see her everyday in tabloids or blogs.
