Charlize Theron Admits She Didn’t Like Working With Tobey Maguire On “The Cider House Rules”

Here’s another one for your “two actors who were really good at pretending they actually liked each other” collection. Charlize Theron recently spoke to James Franco for an interview with V magazine. Well, James Franco might never know if Charlize actually enjoyed talking to him or was just putting up with him to get the job done, because apparently she’s really good at the latter.

Charlize Theron Wants To Clarify That “No Good Roles For Pretty People” Comment

Charlize Theron must have been getting tired of people shooting her “Pretty successful bitch, please” faces everywhere she went, because she decided to clear up the recent comments she made to GQ where she said there weren’t a whole lot of good acting roles for gorgeous gown-wearing gazelles. Charlize talked about it with Extra at the premiere of The Hunstman: Winter’s War on Monday night, and not surprisingly, she says her words were misunderstood.

“You know, I don’t want to blame anybody, there is no blame, there was maybe just a huge misunderstanding and I’ve never really spoken in that way…The idea that I would ever say anything that made it sound like I was ungrateful for the career that I have today.

Charlize goes on to say that the whole “8-foot tall model” thing came from people asking her why she plays such “deconstructed” characters and answering that it’s because there are only so many casting calls looking for a stunning human skyscraper.

“I have always been honest that when I was a model 20 years ago, it was hard to walk in a room, I had to prove myself and in a way that today I’m so lucky that I’m in place now where I don’t have to, and I’m grateful for that, too, because it gives you character and makes you who you are and you don’t want everything to come easy.”

She ends by saying that it was “rough” seeing her comments about being pretty misread by people. But not as rough as scanning the pages of Backstage for 8-foot tall model casting calls in the mid-90s, right Charlize? Honestly, Charlize didn’t have to use so many words to explain how her words were misinterpreted. She should have saved herself 5 minutes of speaking air by pulling a Courtenay Semel. But instead of “Google me, you dumb fuck“, it would be “Look at my IMDB.” Being in Reindeer Games is all the proof anyone needs to know that Charlize hasn’t always been eyeball deep in good roles.

Charlize Theron Worked Some Elegant Exterminator Couture At The Premiere Of “The Hunstman: Winter’s War”

The Los Angeles premiere of The Hunstman: Two Angry Queens (or Winter’s War, whatever) happened at Westwood Village Theatre last night, and Charlize Theron decided to remind everyone that she used to get nothing but trash roles by strutting onto the red carpet covered in bugs. Obviously that’s a reach; I doubt that’s the reason why Charlize is covered in bugs. In all seriousness, it’s probably because it takes a year’s worth of hot showers to fully remove Sean Penn’s dirty wiener stink from your body.

Red carpets are usually a boring mess, so I appreciate that Charlize wore a dress with a bunch of sequined insects crawling around on a piece of cheap nude illusion fabric. There’s no rhyme or reason to those bugs either; it looks like they’re all searching for the exit. Those bugs don’t want to be at the premiere of The Huntsman 2, they want to be at the In-N-Out behind the Westwood, making bug babies on an uneaten pile of double-doubles in the dumpster.

At the very least, they don’t want to accidentally run into the crazy marker-huffing hillbilly chiggers that may have hitched a ride on Miley Cyrus. Miley was apparently there with her two-time-fiance Liam Hemsworth, but they decided to keep a low profile and skipped out before the lights came on.

Here’s more of Charlize at The Hunstman: Winter’s War last night, as well as everyone else who was there. Like Jessica Chastain, who is wearing a dress that looks heavier than the shit they put you in at the dentist to make sure the X-rays don’t liquefy your insides. And Emily Blunt, who is still very pregnant. Also included, Chris Hemsworth, whose rock-hard Thor thighs are 0.3 seconds from busting the side-seams of his pants (I don’t mind). Also, for some reason, Faye Dunaway was there? Although she doesn’t really need a reason, since Faye Dunaway is a legend and can walk any red carpet she damn well pleases.

Presenting The MTV Movie Awards Red Carpet

The huge stars came out last night for the taping of the MTV Movie Awards. Well, a few did. Okay, like one or two. We still got some big names and a few people with actual talent. While not one of said talented people, the standout of the night was clearly Gigi Hadid. She worked that child prostitute blow-up doll glamour harder than she ever has! She and her team were like, “Brigitte Bardot with a rattle! That’ll get the cameras flashing!”

Charlize Theron Got A Job In The Next “Fast And The Furious” Movie

I never believed that whole thing about manifesting your dreams by putting your intentions out into the Universe thing before, but clearly it works. I mean, Charlize Theron was just talking about how she used to get passed up for meaty roles because she’s too pretty, and then out of nowhere she gets cast in what is arguably the greatest cars-on-methamphetamine franchise in the history of film. What are the chances?

Variety says that sources have confirmed to them that Charlize will be appearing in the 8th – yes 8th – Fast and the Furious film, Fast 8. Charlize Theron better make some room on the shelf next to her Best Actress Oscar for Monster, because she’s one step closer to being able to tell people “Sorry, but that’s two-time Academy Award-winning actress Charlize Theron.” And I’m not being sarcastic, either. Maybe it’s all the tail pipe exhaust I inhaled while standing behind the station wagon as a child, but Fast and the Furious films are cinematic masterpieces. Yeah, I can probably go ahead and change that maybe to a hard definitely.

Variety says Fast 8 will begin filming this summer and will be released in August 2017. All the hot buff baldies will be back (The Rock, Vin Diesel, Tyrese), as well as ayahuasca-dabbler Michelle Rodriguez. Fast 8 will be directed by F. Gary Gray. This will be Charlize’s second time working on a fast cars movie with F. Gary Gray (he directed her in 2003’s The Italian Job).

There aren’t many details about Charlize’s role right now, although the sources claim she’ll be playing a villain. Apparently Universal wanted her from the beginning, but she wouldn’t commit until a finished draft of the script had been written. Excuse me? Everyone knows that if your agent approaches you with a script that smells like gasoline, baby oil, and AXE body spray, you say yes before you even read it.

Here’s the current luckiest actress in Hollywood at a WE Day event earlier today.

Charlize Theron FINALLY Sheds Light On The Plight Of Tall, Gorgeous Actresses

Don’t hate Charlize Theron for looking beautiful even while suffering from coke burn (see: picture above).

To think, us average-faced homelies used to think that all of you tall, gorgeous people have it so easy. You mostly get hired for a job over an ugly troll. You get promotions quicker too. You also don’t even have to think about bringing your wallet to the bar, because some trick will always buy you a cup of the sweet nectar. And whenever you want hot dick, you just swipe right and BOOM, hot dick lands in your lap. Sometimes when I’m in a long ass line at Trader Joe’s, I wish that I was hot, because then I’d be able to cut in front of all of the dowdy regulars. They’d be happy about it too, because then they’d have a better view of my beauty. But you know, I don’t think that gorgeous people have it good anymore. Charlize Theron, the Martin Luther King Jr. of tall, gorgeous people, has exposed fugly people privilege and opened up our eyes to the suffering of the beautiful ones!
