Charlize Theron

Born on August 7, 1975 (Benoni, South Africa).

Charlize Theron is the queen of transformation — the kind of actress who can disappear so completely into a role that you forget you’re watching one of Hollywood’s most glamorous stars. She’s been a battle-hardened road warrior in Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), a sleek futuristic assassin in Æon Flux (2005), the dangerously alluring Evil Queen in Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) and The Huntsman: Winter’s War (2016), and the razor-sharp, high-octane spy in Atomic Blonde (2017). She’s also brought depth and poignancy to acclaimed dramas like The Devil’s Advocate (1997), The Cider House Rules (2000), and The Burning Plain. (2009). With a presence that can shift from ice to fire in a heartbeat, Theron doesn’t just play characters — she becomes them, body and soul, leaving you wondering where the actress ends and the role begins.

Divorced. Mother of two children.
