“(It’s) kind of impossible to lose connection to a country where your bones, your skin, your blood, came together. I feel like I am made in this land, no matter where I live or travel,” Charlize recently shared to CNN while crusading against AIDS in South Africa.

She added, “You cannot do this work if it does not come from a personal place or place of passion… anybody can show up for an event once, but can you come back year after year, can you? I think that kind of investment must come from a deeper place.”

FYI: Charlize is wearing Coach‘s honey bootie. Jackson is wearing a Pop Out Clothing varsity jacket.
