South African actress confessed the objectification she suffered from directors and producers during her early days in the film industry
Charlize Theron is one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood. And although throughout her career she has demonstrated her great talent and versatility, her spectacular figure and her beautiful face have made her objectify on more than one occasion, seeking to exploit her s-xuality. to the max.
The actress herself spoke about this situation in a recent interview with Harpers Bazaar, where she made reference to her bad experience with a director whom she did not want to name.
“In one particular movie, a director made me try on models and change clothes all the time. It was very obvious to me that it was because of my s-xuality and how desirable they wanted me in the film," said the South African.
However, the interpreter revealed that this was not the only time that she felt that objectification. "Not having any kind of control over what I'm going to wear has bothered me a lot over the years," she warned, realizing that it was men who chose her wardrobe to generate the desired impact.

“For a guy to make you try on clothes almost in front of him…things like that were demeaning. They belittled me," Theron acknowledged.
And although in "Monster" -a film that won her an Oscar and in which she starred in 2003 with Christina Ricci- her image was far removed from that of a s-xy girl, the blonde said that both she and Ricci wanted to be faithful to the vision of Patty Jenkins, the director, but that the producers "wanted to turn it into a l-sbian s-x movie."
Due to all these experiences lived on the set, Charlize Theron is one of the first actresses who raised the flag of feminism and fought to overthrow the aesthetic canons that reigned for decades within the Hollywood industry. Something that today as a producer tries to deepen in each project.
"I have an inner conflict that I want to create the environments that I would have liked to see when I started 30 years ago," confessed the creator of Denver & Delilah, her own production company.
Theron has not only managed to confront the s-xism and misogyny that she experienced in the early years of her career, playing strong and powerful women, but she has also fought against wage inequality and different working conditions between women and men. .
