The Oscar winner for her role in the movie “Monster”, where she played the serial killer Aileen Wuornos, made it clear that at the age of 48, she does not want to gain weight for a role on the big screen. She believes that losing weight has become an even bigger challenge for her.

“I’m not going to make a movie again and say, ‘Yeah, I gained 50 pounds.’ I will never do it again because you can’t take them off anymore,” said the actress, who admitted that she lost weight quickly in her youth without any problems.

“When I was 27, I did Monster. I lost what I gained overnight. I skipped three meals and got back to my normal weight. Then at 43 I did it for Tully and I remember a year after trying to lose all that weight I called my doctor and said, ‘I think I’m dying because I can’t lose any weight.’ And he said to me: ‘You are over 40 years old. Slowly. Your metabolism is not what it used to be.’ Nobody wants to hear that,” he admitted in an interview.

The protagonist of quotes such as “The Old Guard”, “Mad Max: Fury Road” or “Atómica” admitted the effects of action scenes on her body.

Theron admitted that if she gets injured during filming, it takes her body a long time to recover. In addition, he was surprised to discover that he does not miss the way his face looked when he was young, but the strength and resilience of his body back then.

“What really bothers me is that now I’m doing action movies and if I get injured, it takes a lot longer to recover than when I was 20. More than my face, I wish I had my 25-year-old body, which I could throw against a wall without even getting hurt. Now if I don’t work out for three days and go back to the gym, I won’t be able to walk. I can’t even sit in the bathroom,” he said in the aforementioned publication.

“I’ve always had a problem with men aging like ‘fine wine’ and women not,” Charlize said, adding that people should be more compassionate.

“I think women should be able to age however they see fit. I think we need to be a little more empathetic to how we all go through our journey. My experience of having to see my face on a billboard is pretty funny now,” explained the actress who has been the face of Dior’s J’Adore perfume for 19 years.

Theron admitted that she was part of that group of actresses who were questioned about how her face looked and assured that she felt better with time.

“My face is changing and I love that my face is changing and aging,” she said. In addition, Charlize herself stated that she had to respond in a special way to those who point out her appearance.

“People think I had a facelift. They say: ‘What has been done to his face?’ I say: ‘Oh, I’m getting old!’ This does not mean that I had a bad plastic surgery. This is exactly what is happening,” he said during an interview with an American magazine.

These statements by Charlize clearly speak of her sincerity, dedication and the effort she puts into her career. Despite the physical challenges she faces, she continues to show her dedication to every character she plays. (AND)
