Charlize Theron was honoured by Hollywood Friday for a “fearless” career in which she tackled themes including s-e-xual harassment long before the #MeToo movement up-ended the industry. The 44-year-old South African Oscar-winner, who has often played down her flawless looks to win darker, more complex parts, collected the prestigious American Cinematheque Award at a Beverly Hills gala.
“I’m overwhelmed – I need a cocktail!” she told AFP as stars including Kristen Stewart, Seth Rogen, and David Oyelowo gathered to honour her career. These people who are here tonight have been with me through a lot of stuff.
Theron won the best actress Academy Award in 2004 with her turn as pr0stitute and serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster. She earned Hollywood’s respect with a visceral performance which saw her pack on 30 pounds (14 kg) and render herself unrecognisable with makeup and prosthetics to play the unappealing murderer.
She is the most fearless actor I’ve ever worked with, and probably the most fearless human being I’ve ever met,” said Jason Reitman, who directed Theron in Young Adult and Tully. Next month Theron appears in another transformative role – as former TV anchor Megyn Kelly in Bombshell, which depicts the downfall of Fox News co-founder Roger Ailes after a s-e-xual harassment scandal.
