Charlize Theron is a renowned actress who has performed in many famous American and South African movies. She has the record of being the first South African actress to receive an Oscar Award. The actress was named among the 100 most influential people in the world in 2016 by Times magazine.

Initially, Charlize was interested in becoming a ballet dancer but had to abandon her dream because of a knee injury. She appeared on the Hollywood screen for the first time in 1996 in the crime movie ‘2 Days in the Valley.’ After that, she was offered independent roles in many Hollywood movies like ‘The Devil’s Advocate,’ ‘Mighty Joe Young,’ and ‘The Cider House Rules.’

Throughout her acting career, Charlize was determined to be a versatile actress and therefore she refused many roles that appeared to be monotonous for her. Charlize Theron movies with her brilliant portrayals include her role in ‘Reindeer Games’ as Ashley Mercer, in ‘The Legend of Bagger Vance’ as Adele Invergordon, in ‘The Curse of the Jade Scorpion’ as Laura Kensington, and in ‘Monster’ as Aileen Wuornos. The actress has also produced many her movies like ‘Sleepwalking,’ ‘Monster,’ ‘Dark places,’ ‘Brain on Fire,’ ‘Gringo,’ ‘Bombshell,’ ‘Tully’ and many more.

Charlize is all set to appear in Paul Feig’s upcoming fantasy movie ‘The School for Good and Evil’ which is scheduled to be released this year.
