Charlize Theron is an Academy Award-winning South African actress and producer known for her versatile performances, striking beauty, and fierce advocacy.
Born on August 7, 1975, in Benoni, Gauteng, South Africa, Theron's early life was marked by tragedy. She grew up on a farm outside Johannesburg, and at the age of 15, witnessed her mother, Gerda, shoot and kill her abusive father in self-defense. No charges were filed, and the event deeply shaped her.
Theron initially pursued a career in ballet, attending the Joffrey Ballet School in New York City. A knee injury, however, forced her to change course. At 18, she moved to Los Angeles with a one-way ticket and minimal money, reportedly discovered by a talent agent after a public argument with a bank teller.
Her acting career began with smaller roles in the mid-1990s, gaining recognition in films like "The Devil's Advocate" (1997) and "Mighty Joe Young" (1998). She quickly established herself as a leading lady, often chosen for her striking looks. However, it was her transformative role as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the 2003 film "Monster" that garnered her widespread critical acclaim and an Academy Award for Best Actress. She famously gained 30 pounds and altered her appearance for the role, proving her dedication to her craft.
Following "Monster," Theron continued to challenge herself with diverse roles, including "North Country" (2005), for which she received another Oscar nomination, and the action-packed "Mad Max: Fury Road" (2015), where her portrayal of Imperator Furiosa became an iconic character. She has also starred in "Atomic Blonde" (2017), "Tully" (2018), and "Bombshell" (2019), earning a third Oscar nomination for the latter.
Beyond her acting, Theron is a prolific producer through her company, Denver and Delilah Productions. She is also a passionate activist, particularly for AIDS prevention in Africa, founding the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP). She became a U.S. citizen in 2007 and is the adoptive mother of two daughters, Jackson and August.
Charlize Theron continues to be a powerful force in Hollywood, celebrated not only for her acting prowess but also for her commitment to using her platform for social change.
