Charlize Theron has been making headlines for some time now. The actress, who is in her 50s, has been admired by many for her timeless elegance. However, her thin appearance at the Paris premiere of The Odyssey has sparked major health concerns. While many complimented her couture, some called her ‘skeletal’ and wondered whether she is battling an underlying health issue. Amid this, Charlize’s before-and-after pictures surfaced.
Charlize Theron got candid about losing and gaining weight in her 40s
Charlize Theron is widely known for dramatically transforming herself for movie roles. She gained 30 pounds to play a murderer, ‘Aileen Wuornos’, in the 2003 film, Monster. She earned her first Oscar for her performance in Monster. Later, for the 2018 film, Tully, Charlize again transformed herself by gaining almost 50 pounds for her role. Comparing the challenges of losing and gaining weight in her 40s and 20s, Charlize, in a 2018 interview with People, admitted that she dealt with depression. In her words:
“My body flipped me off quite a bit. It’s just way different when you’re older. Also this time around I dealt with depression for the first time in my life. I just didn’t eat very healthy, and a lot of the processed sugars and things just really put me into a terrible depression, and I’d never dealt with anything like that in my life. It totally took me off guard.”
