Best interview with Charlize! She is relaxed, honest and open!
Jenelle is my favorite interviewer she always asks really interesting questions and never interrupts her guests
Non ci sono parole!!!
I saw Monster at the Theater in 2003, and she won an Academy Award for best actor. I bought the DVD when it was available. She is amazing and love all her films.
Charlize is so true and natural, I just love her!!
Enjoyed this interview! This interviewer is definitely a Charlize fan, and that made it more enjoyable for me!
This lady just kicks ass on so many levels and facets it's incredible.Just a gem of a human spirit.Such a joy to see someone so famous and beautiful so candid humble and down to earth.She just rocks.
Love her down earth manner really enjoyed this interview. She is so beautiful.
Charlize is beautiful on every level, grateful, humble, funny, real and honest! This an excellent interview.
This is by far my most favorite interview! I love Charlize and always will.
I am so glad that her ballet career didn't work out, her mom encouraged her to go try out 'storytelling' in Hollywood, her check couldn't be cashed easily at the bank, and for that manager dude who stepped in to help out. You are such a gifted actress, Charlize! What a beautiful, humble, intelligent, witty human being this lady is! Obviously, it's not just you who got lucky to get to do what you love for a living, I count myself lucky every time I get to see your amazing performance on screen. Keep it coming, queen
What a beautiful thing to say :)
I'm starting acting class on November I really can relate to this women I'm happy that she made it
"Have some perspective, white lady!" Gosh that was so funny and yet so perfectly necessary... I love her so much for making fun of herself like that!!
🤣😅🤣🤣
Thanks for all your candor. Its been s great relief that you were able to overcome skepticism throughout your career. Keep up the great work!! Lots of love and luck for the future.
She is so smart and intelligent, by far, and her beauty is an additional dowel to her picture
Over the years I’ve ran across her interviews here and there, and my appreciation for her grows. One of the few current working actors out there whom I actually enjoy discovering more about.
So many Hollywood journalists stick to the same fluff questions, but this was actually an insightful interview.
Oh my gosh this interview made me love and appreciate Charlize more 😍🤩😍 the way she speaks her mind.. beautiful!
Another "Conversations" which surprises me with so few views. Such a treat to be able to be in Charlize Theron's company for an hour. Thx 2 the SAG-AFTRA Foundation. (Jenelle, I like how u always ask about the card at the beginning:)
She's enigmatic yet open and authentic. I love Charlize.
really great interview
YES! is Ms Jenelle!! keep the amazing interview!
I respect this woman she is good soul, And real woman for sure 😇🙏😍😘🙌😈
It's like... 3am. But I guess I can not skip this, no way.
Same here :d
Rhowski 4:30 am, exactly. Charlize is more important than sleep 😂
Same hahahh
Not sure how I ended up here, but I’ve just finished watching, what a legend, again, it’s 3am lol 😱
This was GREAT!
As a dancer turned actress due to complications with my body as well as being from a family with 0 background in the ent industry hearing Charlize speak of how she transitioned from being a ballerina to being an actress!
Non ci sono parole!!!❤❤❤
I like how she finally opens up and relaxes after she talks about her dogs.
Wowww!!! Her story is amazing! I pray I get discovered one day by someone big
Charlize Theron is a genius.
I love her she’s so gorgeous ...1st filmmi saw her in “cider house rules”
wowwww what an interview!
her voice is so nice, I like it
I'm a simple man. I see Charlize. I click.
Ordinary people can feel her! So down to earth!!!
my idol my role model!!!great woman,actress,intelligent classy rolled into one, Man! shes everything.love her! one of the 2 of my favorite actress along side cate blanchett
Love the interview , watching Charlize get upset about JJ Harris shows just how much she meant to her 💖
Charlize Theron 💚😍💚
her mind is so full,,,i love her and i love her even more after watching these great interview second time,,,
her perspective on what she does is just so incredibly inspiring.
That was possibly the ,, oooh I don't know, jeez seriously nothing compares THANK-YOU SO MUCH 💀
God I love her, I want to hear more personal stuff about her rather than more information about her career.
38:48 if i could support myself, that was the dream. I thought she is just a beautiful hollywood celebrity, shallow and cheerful all the time. but man, this woman is so real, down to earth, honest, frank and has a deep soul. there are billions of women who doesn't have 1 percent have what she has, yet has million times more arrogance, expectations, self-valuation than this wonderful human.
1st comment. Charlize has always been one of my favourite actors.
Love love the bank story, saw it on imdb many years ago but you never know if that stuff is true until now.
One of the prettiest woman alive on the planet, gorgeous
she is great!
Precious lady!
i love her for such a wonderful movie star
WOW!
Beautiful, God Speed to her & her family . 😘👍🥰
I'm gona say too much ... but holy shit , THANK-YOU SO MUCH
WOW! I really like this girl!!
She is luminous. Beautiful.
Really a good actress.
Head in the Clouds is my favorite movie, its more European in feel than American...
29:24 like Charlize’s response to this “reductive” question
Love Charlize and great journalist
Came across ‘tully’ on hbo and was interested because I heard it was a comedy. The twist at the end, WOW!
ETA: ‘That’s how ‘aeon flux’ happened’. OH MY GOD.
Ilove you charlize
adorable or what the story about a certain song 'what's going on' is a real tear jerk hope she puts her name down for cairo 2027
She is so beautiful and special
Inspirational woman I should say
She really likes using the word F*ck ... love it. She’s so f*cking gorgeous 💜
How can you forget about the Yards. James Grey, Joaquin Phoenix!!
❤❤❤
Smart,beautiful and talented. And she seems a very sweet woman
she is the best
She is still one ☝ of the most beautiful women in the world!!!
a real beauty...inside and out...
Why, this interview made me want to see Actor on Actor with Charlize and Jennifer Lawrence 👀
The only thing I can say , is Totally cool woman! I've never heard a woman use the F*** word so casually, not for effect but you get her point. I'm a 70 yr old dude and if you think I'm kidding about her, check her out on "The Hot One's" Now to me that's what every female should strive to be, independent, be honest, be yourself. Kudos to Charleze!
❤❤❤❤❤
Linda Charlize sua fan Brasil Larissa fica com Deus linda te amo muito
Aeon Flux was awesome :(
Your story always inspires me. I hope one day I can also do something so amazing like you do.
My knees gave out on me, too. But, I hope I will be able to find my place, too.
I wonder which bank on Hollywood Blvd?.
maybe it was demolished to built the Hollywood and highland complex.
Why this channel has so little views?
Вадим Мукабенов Вадим Мукабенов I’m assuming that it’s because most people aren’t familiar with SAG-AFTRA or what they do.
i ask myself the same when i watch "off camera"
Due to nobody is interested in listing to serious stuff!!
big woman big heart
drinking water is the secret of her Beauty...
Charlize Ilove you bb
Maybe I should go to a bank......
Charlize Theron is beautiful in every way possible.
An Afrikaans meisie putting on a show!
@17.00
Good actress but also the beauty
Im sorry!
She is the perfect example for getting in showbusiness because of her BEAUTY. She can walk in the park and get invitations left and right. compare her to the interviewer ... i m just beeing honest. She is the perfect blonde and the other one has to work. Life is hard!!! =)
good point but acting is hard work as she mentioned several times.
Her beauty opened up doors but her talent has kept them open. If it wasn't for showing her amazing talent in Monster, her career would be over because she is 46 and thriving in challenging roles. If all you have is looks, you get dropped once you're out of your 20s.
Charlize you are a wild woman big movie star I thought atomic was a bout blondy Debbie Harry that's what I thought the movie was about
Huh...
Auditioning is a strange process. Trying to make something natural in a room with no set, reading with people who sometimes aren’t actors.
A too down to earth Charlize. Honesty is good to extent but that dog gone ‘f’ word never fits the classy lady you look and are at heart. 99.9% my perfect roll model.
Girlcrush
4:56 yikes.
The part where she said " I didn't know he was famous I just thought actors were regular people with this cool job" I'm still there. Lol I can't understand Americans obsession with Fame. Everyone wants to be famous, they exalt people just for being on tv or film. I know who Kim Kardashian is for butt pic, but couldn't pick out the rest of her siblings or step siblings from a line up. Had to ask a friend the origins of the meme of the woman scream at the cat. She said she thought it was a "Real House Wife".
It's such a ridiculous concept to me. I mean of course I appreciate a talented artist as I would a gifted athlete, or a writer. But I hold Nobel prize winners, research doctors, great politicians, investigative journalists etc. In even higher regard. Anyone who excels in their field I admire. But this nonsense of no bodies being somebody's because of reality TV is bizarre to me. Even catapulting actors that really aren't very good because of their attractiveness is another thing I will never understand. I mean how did Kevin Costner ever even have a career? He's an average joe that can play the average joe dad or husband. He should've been a character actor that played the next door neighbor. Everytime he took on a role that was even a minor stretch I was embarrassed for him and it was honestly hard to watch. I mean Robin hood Prince of thieves has to be one of the worst on screen performance in history. But Americans made him famous and he was handed parts and leading man status even though he's an average actor at best.
Yet countless men and women that excell in their craft are relegated to fringe roles because of their looks. At least Charlize can act but probably would've become leading actress material and become super famous just on her looks. The American fame machine is such a bizarre thing.
It’s pronounced THAIR-in get it right!!!!!
She swears a lot I'm a little bit surprised because it just doesn't go with her graceful and classy look hhh ..
she is not beautiful from outside but also in Inside...
Ridiculous genetics
Just cut the ‘f’ word, and all will be well.
❤❤❤
