Charlize Theron has been at her A-game when it comes to the actress’ Hollywood career. Whether it’s as a supporting character at the top of their n Oscar-winning part portraying a real-life serial killer on the big screen, Theron’s ability to swerve hard in her roles and give the audience an entertaining and memorable performance remains unmatched.

But as her presence becomes increasingly coveted, Theron adopts an important interest in advocating for Hollywood roles and educating aspiring artists about the difficulties of the job and who then manage to remain largely unacknowledged and fairly unseen.

Charlize Theron Gives Her Honest Opinion About Hollywood

The South African-born actress, Charlize Theron, has given Hollywood a steady and dependable stream of good action blockbusters throughout the past decade. As such, her knowledge about the inner workings of the system, as not only an actor but a producer with 20+ years of experience, is not only extensive but also holds massive weight. In a cover interview with British GQ, the actress claimed the difficulty faced by aspiring actresses to secure a role in Hollywood regardless of race or physicality.

Jobs with real gravitas go to people that are physically right for them and that’s the end of the story. How many roles are out there for the gorgeous f**king gown-wearing eight-foot model? When meaty roles come through, I’ve been in the room and pretty people get turned away first.

Theron’s philosophy thus outlines a very oxymoronic view of Hollywood where girls/women are consistently judged based on either of two factors: either you are too good-looking for a role or you are not pretty enough to bag it in the first place.

Charlize Theron Takes the Film Industry By Surprise

While the industry may be too preoccupied with producing soulful thrillers, projects, spin-off series, and anticipated sequels, Charlize Theron comes forward with a claim that makes sure every aspiring actress-to-be hears the message loud and clear, instead of stepping into the business donning rose-tinted glasses. Theron’s reality check that occurred on the sets of Æon Flux in 2005 was a necessary evil required to teach her how everything is not sustainable in Hollywood.

Similarly, primarily playing a love interest or the secondary character to male leads in romantic movies has hardened Charlize Theron into developing an eye for scripts with potential. The Academy Award-winning actress has delivered phenomenal performances in films like Monster, Mad Max: Fury Road, Atomic Blonde, and The Old Guard. Her production company, Denver & Delilah, which she launched soon after her Oscar win for her role in a 2003 movie, meanwhile went on to produce noteworthy projects, one of which includes the brilliant series, Mindhunter.
Currently, Theron is taking on the role of Clea in the Marvel Cinematic Universe within its Doctor Strange IP while also contributing time to her growing role as Andy in The Old Guard 2, the sequel to the original film.
