Charlize Theron


Charlize Theron has revealed that she cannot watch herself in her own movies.

We haven't seen Theron on the big screen since The Road back in 2010 - although she lent her voice to Astro Boy.

But the Oscar winner has admitted that she struggled watching her award winning performance in Monsters.

Speaking to TELE 5 the actress said: "I hate to see myself on screen. When I did Monster it wasn't too bad, because I didn't look like Charlize Theron.

"During the rough cut I had to watch a lot of my scenes over and over again. I would slit my wrists if I had to watch my other films that often."

"The fact that we didn't have a lot of money saved us, this way everything seemed a lot more authentic.

"With a bigger budget we automatically would have used prosthetics, but fortunately we weren't able to afford more than false teeth."

Theron has already completed work on Young Adult, which is directed by Jason Reitman, and is currently filming Prometheus.
