Reasons to be thankful! Charlize Theron shows off her toned figure in a black bikini as she hits the beach in Cabo on Thanksgiving Day
She's been hard at work shooting her new comedy Flarsky in chilly Montreal for the past few weeks.
But Charlize Theron swapped Canada for Cabo as she spent Thanksgiving enjoying some fun in the sun with her young family in Mexico on Thursday.
The Oscar-winning actress, 42, showed off her toned figure as she slipped into a skimpy black bikini while hitting the beach in Los Cabos with her children, Jackson, five, and August, two.
The Monster star wore her blonde locks scraped back from her face, and sheltered her eyes from the sun with a pair of stylish mirrored shades.
The South African-born beauty looked as though she had plenty of reasons to be thankful, grinning away as she cooled off with a dip in the crystal clear waters.
Charlize's Thanksgiving vacation was a far cry from the chilly climes of Montreal, Canada, where she was has been filming her new movie, Flarsky, alongside co-star Seth Rogen, 35, earlier this month.
In the comedy, Seth plays a political journalist attempting to strike up a romance with his former babysitter - played by Charlize - who is now a powerful figure in government.
Flarsky, directed by Jonathan Levine, also stars O'Shea Jackson Jr. and Tristan D. Lalla and is scheduled for release in the US on February 8, 2019.
The actress adopted both Jackson and August when they were babies, and has said becoming a mother in her late 30s was a 'really great' experience.
Speaking to W magazine about parenting, Charlize said: 'I do know that choosing to be a mom in my late 30s has been really great for me. It's given me perspective.'
She added in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres in April: 'My kids definitely help me be less anxious.
'I'm a single mom, and I have an incredible village that helps me raise these two beautiful kids.'
Charlize also said seeing the bond her two children have is a 'really beautiful' thing.
She said: 'I'm an only child, so I didn’t grow up with siblings and so I had no idea the beauty that siblings have with each other.
'Like it really is one of the most incredible things I've ever witnessed. To see how much they love each other and to see how much they’re excited to see each other.
'They're so in love with each other, it's really beautiful.
