Oscar-winning
Hollywood
actress
Charlize
Theron,
has
nullified
the
claims
circulating
around
that
ageism
is
thriving
in
the
entertainment
industry.
The
41-year-old
actress,
recently
took
the
matter
of
ageism
in
Hollywood
and
said
she
is
not
sharing
the
same
opinion
as
some
of
her
fellow
colleagues
in
Hollywood.
She
opined,
"I
don't
agree
with
that
notion,
and
I'm
not
happy
to
hear
people
talking
like
that
about
Hollywood.
Now
that
I'm
41,
I
work
much
more
than
20
years
ago,
and
I
enjoy
it
even
more.
And
all
the
women
I
know
say
the
same
thing,
so
it's
time
to
stop
this
cliche."
"How
could
I
be
afraid
of
something
so
natural?
Ageing
is
part
of
our
life,
we
can't
avoid
that.
And
a
part
of
me
is
really
grateful
for
all
the
things
that
have
happened
since
I
started
ageing,
now
I'm
much
wiser
than
20
years
ago.
A
wrinkle
is
nothing
compared
to
that," she
added
further.
Theron
also
pointed
out
on
the
issue
of
gender
disparity
effecting
Hollywood
at
a
larger
scale,
she
stated,
"Movies
are
just
the
mirror
of
society;
the
real
problem
is
there.
Hollywood's
gender
problem
is
nothing
compared
to
the
society's
problem."
"The
time
has
come
for
women
to
realise
that
the
way
we
look
outside
is
not
the
most
important
thing
and
it's
not
true
we
are
worth
less
when
we
age." Theron
said
further.
