A little girl, brought up on a farm near South African Johannesburg, danced beautifully and dreamed, like everyone else, of becoming happy. Today, having seen the name Charlize Theron on the poster, the viewer anywhere in the world will be sure that this film will be exciting and fascinating. We will try to figure out who she is, one of the most beautiful women on the planet, a charismatic and inimitable actress with a sonorous name Charlize.
Childhood
A girl was born in the family of wealthy South African farmers Charles Jacob Theron and Gerda Jacob Aletta on August 7, 1975, and the girl was named Charlize. Note that she received such a rare name in honor of her father, who had French roots, because Charlize is a derivative of the French name Charlotte.
Living among the picturesque surroundings of Johannesburg, young Charlize spent a lot of time in childhood in nature, and she also loved animals. Her best friend at that time was a goat named Bock. Love for animals passes through the whole life of the model and actress, and now she is an active participant in the movement to protect our smaller brothers.
Polyglot involuntarily
Due to the fact that Charlize Theron was born in South Africa, she had to grow up among people of different African nationalities working on her parents' farm and in a construction company. Communicating with them, the girl learned 26 dialects of African languages. Afrikaans was her mother tongue, and she later learned English.
Passion for ballet
Her first passion was dancing, and at 6, her parents took her to ballet courses, and at 13, young Charlize moved to the capital of South Africa, where she continued her studies at the boarding school at the Johannesburg National School of Art. Making great strides, she dreamed of linking her fate with ballet.
First love and meeting with an idol
All girls fall in love with famous actors, and young Charlize did not escape this fate, falling in love, watching the movie "Splash", in Tom Hanks.
Much later, they met on the set of the movie "What are you doing", but those youthful first feelings of love by that time had already cooled down.
The tragedy of youth

My father drank a lot, and often, when he came home drunk, he beat his mother. Patience came to an end, and one day in 1991 Gerda was shot dead by her husband.
Charlize was only 15 and everything happened before her eyes. The police did not even institute criminal proceedings, recognizing this as self-defense. The incident left its special mark on the fate of the future actress, and she even came up with the version that he died in a car accident.
First successes
Probably, the determination went to the actress from her mother. When Theron was 16 years old, it was her mother who insisted on her participation in one of the model competitions. Charlize won, and for the first time traveled outside her historic homeland to Italy, where she shone in the contest of models in the town of Positano.
A beautiful young model was noticed, and she signed a contract with a modeling agency from Milan. On the covers of magazines began to appear photos of a charming and sexy girl from South Africa.
Crash of hope and one way ticket
After a year of working in Europe as a model, Charlize moves to New York, where she finally decides to connect fate with ballet. A talented girl is admitted to the Joffrey School of Choreography, where she continued to hone her skills. Funds for training and life help to gain experience as a model.
It seemed that soon the world would hear the name of the new ballerina, but a knee injury at age 19 put an end to the career of a dancer. Desperate Charlize decides to return home, but her mother buys her a one-way ticket, sending her daughter to Los Angeles to conquer new heights.
Unchecked check turned out to be a happy ticket
In Los Angeles, the future Hollywood star was barely making ends meet, and there was enough money to rent an unfinished dormitory room on the very outskirts of the city of Angels.
To support her daughter, her mother sent her a check for $ 500, with which Charlize went to the bank. The cashier refused to cash the check of a foreign bank, and the young girl, not embarrassed by emotions, expressed everything that she thought about the cashier and the bank where he works.

At that time, the bank building was a Hollywood agent John Crosby. He was impressed by the scene seen, and helped the girl get a job in acting agencies. Crosby's business card and cashless check opened the door to the world of big cinema.
Naked Charlize Theron

Possessing a perfect figure and attractive appearance, the actress did not hesitate to act naked, and, perhaps, the directors exploited the sexuality of the Hollywood beauty.
In her first film, “Two Days in the Valley,” which was released in 1996, the actress appears naked in front of the audience. Her heroine Helga Svelgen is passionate about having sex with Lee Woods, played by James Spader.

The cult film “Head in the Clouds” is worth watching not only for the sake of a Hollywood star, but her game is simply mesmerizing. In the 2004 film, Charlize nude takes a bath with actor Thomas Kretschmann. There is also a bed scene in the movie drama.

Treasured Oscar
In 2003, the actress was invited to play the serial killer Eileen Wornos in the movie "Monster". The name of the film accurately conveys the essence, but it’s difficult at times to figure out who the real “monster” is, and the actress had to get used to the image for a long time to accurately convey the heroine’s experiences. The American Film Academy awarded Charlize Theron the highest Academy Award for this role.
It was her first award in the world of cinema, and the first for actresses from South Africa. At that time, she was still a citizen of the Republic of South Africa, and the star received US citizenship only in 2007.

For the role in the movie drama "Monster", the actress recovered by 13 kg. Theron was not afraid to disfigure herself with complex makeup, presenting herself in front of the audience in a completely unrecognizable manner.
But to star in the fantastic action movie “Mad Max. The Road of Fury ”she had to cut her hair. Bold and unusual.
A brilliant brunette is not afraid to experiment, and in the movie "Eon Flux" she is a burning brunette. Viewers and critics noted that in any way she is gorgeous, and a sharp change in style does not prevent her from remaining attractive and sexy.
They say that you can’t enter the same water twice, but for the role in the film “Tully” the most coveted Hollywood star recovered 16 kg again, and the restless paparazzi did not miss the opportunity to film the actress in this form outside the set.
Frank confessions of a beautiful woman on the planet
In one of the interviews, the beautiful Charlize admitted that in childhood she did not look quite attractive.
Due to the fact that her parents gave her antibiotics for jaundice and other dangerous diseases common in southern Africa, she did not grow hair until she was four years old.
There was another flaw in which the actress admitted. Because of the same antibiotics, her milk teeth began to disappear, and they had to be pulled out. Indigenous only grew up to 11 years.
Acting

In Fast and the Furious 8, her partner was Mark Sinclair, known to the world under the pseudonym Van Diesel. There were star actresses such as Penelope Cruz, Kim Basinger and other Hollywood beauties and sex symbols.
