Charlize Theron has established herself as a powerhouse in Hollywood over her impressive career spanning over two decades. With her stunning performances in films like Monster, for which she won an Academy Award, and Mad Max: Fury Road, Theron has showcased her depth as an actress. Despite her success and acclaim, she has faced her fair share of misogyny in the industry from her male counterparts.
In a throwback interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the actress had a lengthy and vulnerable conversation about her career where she revealed some complicated feelings about her past. She recalled feeling the sexual pressure, adding, “I remember one movie in particular, this male director who just kept bringing me in, fitting after fitting. It was just so obvious that it had to do with my sexuality and how f***able they could make me in the movie. And when I started, that was just kind of the norm.”
Theron further explained that during her early days as an aspiring actress in Hollywood, discussions about appropriate behavior towards women were virtually non-existent. As one of the first celebrities to raise her voice against the unfair treatment of women in the industry, she acknowledged that her approach evolved as she matured.
