Charlize Theron slams H'wood for skin deep beauty
"I don't have hang-ups about the way I look. I can see myself in the mirror when I'm all done up and think I look pretty hot," Telegraph quoted her as saying. "But I can see myself every day and see this round Dutch doll face. We've got so crazy about our faces and our bodies. I guard my privacy partly because I like to keep my head free from all that paranoia," she said.
The
32-year-old
actress
had
won
an
Oscar
for
her
role
as
a
serial
killer
in
Monster,
where
she
had
to
put
on
so
much
weight
that
she
was
virtually
unrecognisable.
Critics
applauded
her
willingness
to
put
vanity
aside
and
look
ugly
on
screen.
"I'm
not
super-skinny.
I
have
curves
and
they
belong
on
my
body.
I
put
on
two
stone
for
Monster
but
I
also
lost
two
stone
when
I
played
a
woman
with
cancer
in
Sweet
Sixteen,"
she
told
Elle
magazine.
"I hated being fat but I also hated being so thin. I went down to a size 6 and I just felt completely uncomfortable. I remember being cold and wrapping my arms around my body and feeling ribs and bone. I felt totally unsexy. Women have to work out what makes them feel comfortable, whether it's about their weight or their clothes.
"As for fashion, I couldn't ever be a slave. I don't do scruffy because I can't do it. It doesn't suit me. I like clean, classic looks. Just because skinny jeans are in fashion you don't wear them if they suck on you," she stated. She finds the other celebrities lacking "decorum" and would not like to lower herself by playing the celebrity game.
"Oh my God, is it so strange that I don't buy into all that? Actually, it upsets me the way a lot of so-called celebrities just completely exploit themselves. I don't get it. There is a decorum that I believe in that just doesn't exist in Hollywood any more," she added.
