Charlize Theron

Blonde high arched feet bombshell Charlize Theron is the prime example of someone rising above their childhood trauma to become the best they can be. She was born on August 7, 1975, in Benoni, South Africa. Her mother raised her on their parent’s farm.

As a former ballerina, Charlize Theron brings all that physicality, and a special awareness and discipline and sense of valuation of her character through gestures.

Charlize received an education as a ballet dancer and has danced both the "Swan Lake" and "The Nutcracker". There was not much for a young actress or dancer to do in South Africa, so she soon traveled to Europe and the United States, where she got job at the Joffrey Ballet in New York. She was also able to work as a photo model. However, an injured knee put a halt to her dancing career.

Charlize’s father was an alcoholic who was once attacking and firing a gun at Charlize and her mother. To defend them, her mother shot her father and killed him. The murder was legally adjudged to be that of self-defense, and she didn’t face any charges for it. This happened while Charlize was only 16.

She soon took to modeling and never looked back to her past.

Charlize won a local modeling contest while still in school and moved to Milan, Italy, on a one-year contract. Soon after, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting and moved there on a one-way ticket. An agent at the bank discovered her, and she landed a role in the movie Children of the Corn.

She soon started getting larger roles and even starred opposite Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino in The Devil’s Advocate. Today, she has acted in several popular movies like Mad Max, Atomic Blonde, and Monster.

She recently discussed her diet and workout routine with Women’s Health, and its no surprise to see her be this fit. She says that she always measures her activity, and if she has not been moving a lot, she avoids eating. She also opened up about her love of Pilates as her preferred workout.
