Hollywood star Charlize Theron first spoke about the peculiarities of raising her own children.
Charlize Theron was born on August 7, 1975 in the small town of Benoni in South Africa.
Her parents were simple entrepreneurs.
At the age of 6, the future star entered a dance school, and later left for a special ballet boarding school, where she devoted all her time to training and was going to become a professional dancer.
At the age of 16, the girl began to participate in beauty contests, and even at one of the contests in Italy, she impressed the scouts from a modeling agency and received a contract in Milan.
And after that, the most interesting years of the star's work began.
She settled in New York, and combined a modeling career and training at a prestigious dance school.
The time has come and Charlize went to acting courses. The first major role in the film "Devil's Advocate" (1997) immediately glorified the aspiring actress.
After that, her acting career immediately took off. Theron starred in several films a year, choosing unusual projects and unusual roles.
Personal life and family
Since 1997, the star has dated Stephen Jenkins, frontman of the band Third Eye Blind. But the couple met for 4 years and broke up, but Theron was not taken aback and immediately found her happiness in a relationship with actor Stuart Townsend, whom she met on the set of the movie "24 Hours".
Their couple was considered one of the strongest in the world of American show business, but in early 2010, after 8 years of marriage, their paths officially parted ways.
The spectacular blonde was credited with many novels with her stellar colleagues. Among the lucky ones who were counted among her companions were Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender and Seth Rogen.
Children and strange parenting methods
The actress has not yet become a biological mother, but she gave maternal love to orphans.
In the spring of 2012, she decided to adopt a child. The first in her house was a boy from South Africa, to whom she gave the name Jackson. Three years later, she again applied to a South African orphanage, where she adopted a dark-skinned girl, named August.
Charlize Theron dresses his son in girl's clothes. Jackson, who is already 7 years old, looks very much like a girl: the boy has long hair, which is often braided, and he himself dresses in bright dresses, sequined T-shirts and leggings.
Theron herself assures that her son considers himself a girl from the age of 3.
Many people criticize Charlize for her views on parenting. Most people think that it is Charlize who makes the boy dress like a girl. In an interview with The Sun, Charlize said:
I have two beautiful daughters who, like any parent, I want to protect, and I want to see them grow up happily. They were born as they are, when they grow up, they will decide for themselves who they are. It's not for me to decide. My job as a parent is to support them, love them and make sure they have everything they need to be who they want to be. And I will do everything in my power to ensure that my children have this right and are protected.
