Charlize Theron Reveals One Thing She'll Never Do For a Movie Role Again

Charlize Theron opened up about the one thing you won’t see her offer to do for a role again.

The 48-year-old Fast X star has so many iconic projects to her name, and they highlight her versatility.

However, during a recent interview, she opened up about something that she isn’t willing to do anymore at this point in her career.

“I will never, ever do a movie again and say, ‘Yeah, I’ll gain 40 pounds,’” Charlize told Allure.

Why? “I will never do it again because you can’t take it off. When I was 27, I did Monster. I lost 30 pounds, like, overnight. I missed three meals and I was back to my normal weight,” she recalled. “Then I did it at 43 for Tully, and I remember a year into trying to lose the weight, I called my doctor and I said, ‘I think I’m dying because I cannot lose this weight.’ And he was like, ‘You’re over 40. Calm down. Your metabolism is not what it was.’ Nobody wants to hear that.”

“That stuff is hard,” she said, adding that it then continues through the red carpet promotions when her stylist Leslie Fremar adjusts how she dresses her.

“I call her and say, ‘I’m doing this movie about postpartum depression and I’ve gained like 40 pounds.’ And she’s like, ‘Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! How am I gonna dress you?’ It’s not something that you can just figure out last minute,” Charlize said. “She’s put a lot of blazers over open backs for me.”

Charlize has recently explained why she’s “bummed out” about taking on action roles lately and addressed rumors that she’s gotten plastic surgery.
