@@firewizzard86 Unfortunately today we are seeing so many actors and actresses pushing the trans movement on their innocent children! Up until a couple of years ago we never saw this insanity anywhere, you were either straight or gay, now you can't keep up with their alphabet it keeps growing!
"Don't get me wrong she's still beautiful" no worries we don't get you wrong at all. Women are beautiful till about 27-28 and then they look like a piece of rag, And yes she was stunning then, but not beautiful now at all.
Charlize didn't reveal the whole story about her mom shooting her dad in self-defense until some years later. Her parents had a somewhat turbulent marriage due mostly to the father's alcoholism. It's all just very sad. Charlize has a very close relationship with her mom although I'm not sure if the mom is still alive at this moment.
This interview went off without a hitch. Charlize was unflappable which made Dave look brilliant. Charlize turned the focus on to Dave for quite some time which allowed her enough of a reprieve to continue an honest expression of her sensibilities.
Dave really needs to do research bc he asks her about her parents, weren’t they happily married. Charlize mother killed her father in self defense. I just cringed when Dave asked her about her parents.
Please upload more Charlize Theron interviews by Letterman!! She is pleasantly witty and funny in a classy way. Sometimes her dark humor gives you a good laugh also.
They're both tall, blonde, sharp & have bedroom eyes. It's not a bad comparison. Plus they both can stare holes right thru you like what she did @ 9:16.
that face at that time, she literally could play a heavily angelic guardian in a sci fi flick and actual angels would be envious of that. She really is blessed with that gift of natural beauty.
I have always liked her in movies, she is great of what I have read. She is always good on talk shows when finish not much had been learned about her, she can make a full talk show and leave everyone thinking she put it all out there.
if I judge marriage by my mom and dad she said :| She grew up on her parents' farm in Benoni, near Johannesburg] On 21 June 1991, Theron's father, an alcoholic,[8] threatened both Charlize and her mother while drunk, physically attacking her mother and firing a gun at both of them.[ Theron's mother retrieved her own handgun, shot back and killed him. The shooting was legally adjudged to have been self-defense, and her mother faced no charges.[
Jeez! Didn't Daves people tell him about Charlize's parents!! This is poor prep and could have been traumatizing for Charlize. (her mother killed her father defending herself against a drunken rage)
@@johnb1150 A person who screams at others for disagreeing with her opinion on gender. So are you one of these, Johnny? A person who considers those who dare disagree with your theories as only worthy of damnation? Pray tell...
@@ConservativeAnthem well I'm not female and you said her so I don't qualify no but I haven't found many humans who enjoy someone disagreeing with them so a fairly redundant label to be using, some people are just more extreme about disagreeing than others and considering your name is conservative anthem I'm gona guess you'd disagree with decent gun control in America, I wait with anticipation for what your response is going to be.
One of the most natural banters you'll see on a Tonight Show. At one stage Charlize was interviewing him and she didn't wear a mini skirt to titillate the audience when she sat down like so many young female guests do.
Did anybody noticed that shes wearing the same dress (but in black version) that Sharon Stone used in Basic Instinct when they are interrogating her?? 😁😁😁
She sure wasn't kidding about her views on marriage. Letterman was known for his bluntness and I think she is similar in many ways. Her personal life's journey over the last 23 years is certainly unique to say the least. Even by Hollywood's standards!
When I first saw this and it said posted May 18th, 2023, it made me think it was about the incident at the Oscars. Then I remembered Dave hasn't had a show for years.
Damn he didn’t research her at all before this interview. Asking her about her parents being married and saying of course she would want to marry. Her Mother actually shot her Dad bc he was abusive. I felt her awkwardness at these questions. Poor thing.
5 foot 10 is not petite imo, but seems like she has a good sense of humor. Most women that are that beautiful don't come across as having a sense of humor at least in my experiences.
@@DanielBarberMusic You might be right about Dave, he plays the clown and asks silly questions. To clarify my comment, no criticism of Charlize, indeed I am quite a fan, I just meant to say she seemed to be reserved at least in the first minutes (including body language), so all the comments talking about confidence surprised me.
Wow, who would have thought that Will could have fooled so many for so long. This is from 23 years ago, and Charlize does not appear to have much respect for Will. She called him a freak for not just the way he handled himself during the golf, but she said for many things. Maybe someone should have done Mr. Smith a favor many years ago and slapped him and straightened him out a little. It is a shame, he is very talented, but his career now will probably always be tainted, and now how his persona from all those years before kind of comes off him being a phony.
@Caps Fan. Fooled how? Cuz he showed that after being one of the most positive Black figures in Hollywood for 30 plus years, that he wasn't as perfect as we thought he was? Let's knock it off. What he did to Chris was horrible and deserved all the backlash he got in that moment but if we were to judge everyone off of one horrible mistake they've made we all would be crucified that's including all the other celebrities you probably adore, people close to you and even you yourself. Will and his career will be jus fine. It's a setback, I wouldn't call it tainted. And as far as Charlize goes, her and Will made another movie 8 years after this (Hancock) and became good friends so I highly doubt anything she said on here was taking seriously
All this because he slapped Chris Rock ? Pff, I so don't care, he can slapp any other hollywood persona, I stil like him in all his movies, especially "Men in black".
It's stunning to see how at some point Charlize just intercepted the initiative and then they both just started talking like two good old friends in a bar. 10 munutes of pure entertainment. And the whole thing about Will Smith, she started to wind him up so intensiv, that it is absolutely clear - Will and Charlize came along very well. 😁
I would have asked her ,does she ever get fed up when she walks into a room and all the men go silent? I witnessed this once live when stunning young woman walked into a bar,on her way to the restaurant. Bar full of males,immediate silence until she walked out. I was just as stunned as the rest,not in a lustful way. Just stunned at her beauty. Until an older guy broke the continuing silence by quoting " bet she drinks Carling black label" the hole bar howled together. Older Brits will understand the quote.
I worked on one movie with Charlize Theron… she has no idea who I was or what I did but she was sweet and gracious and pleasant and since that day I’ve adored her. I only wish I had worked on more projects with her but not enough to get the look. 😉
@@hawkrider88I've heard lots of good things too. You get that with every star. If she were so horrible, trust me her career would have been over quick. They don't let difficult women last. Especially past 40. I think she's just an intimidating woman.
Almost no one knows that she is a native Afrikaans speaker, which is almost the same as Dutch. That is really cool to me because as a Dutch speaker I can understand some rare interviews on UA-cam of her that almost no one else can understand which I think is really cool.
Perhaps you could teach me so I could pray to the whatever gods that Charlize would marry me … then I’d be the happiest man in the world. I’ve been in love with her since 2 days in The Valley. I couldn’t breathe whenever she was in a scene… and hurt so bad when she got shot … I hate rock musicians now … Steve !!! That was my brothers name. Steve ! Just say nice things to her if you by some miracle get a chance to speak to her in any language. Peace. 😊
@@moorenicola6264 Even here in The Netherlands this knowledge of our common history has faded over time. Most people don't even realize that there are still white people living over there.
Hilarious after all this time that the Letterman crew still doesn’t know Charlize Theron’s mom killed her father in self defense Says a lot about that time and last era. She wouldn’t have assumed he or his staff knew of that event and so she knew to take everything in the classic sense of grace and humor. Doesn’t diminish how she was affected by it; it just shows how any similar “gaffe” today would trigger indignation on a national scale
I saw her on Chelsea Handler she had a Kinks concert tshirt on, so I decided okay u kidding me? We think "stars" r so different, but I think they were talented and in the right place at the right time.
Letterman can never be replaced. Drag him out of retirement; give him a face-lift. pay him 10 million a week, and put him back on. This a serious suggestion, and PLEASE no one say "waddabout Jay Leno?" My reply to that is pleeeeeeeze we have no interest in a car collection on Prime Time Television.
She is not only beautiful, but crazy talented.
And she has a black trans daughter, how brave.
She’s intelligent! She the dangerous trifecta!
She's just plain crazy.
what is her talent?

the very same thing I found. She's not shy.
OMG she was so stunning at that time! Don't get me wrong she's still beautiful, but at that time her face was just perfection!
@damien
Have you seen her in the movie, "The Long Shot?"
"Don't get me wrong she's still beautiful" no worries we don't get you wrong at all. Women are beautiful till about 27-28 and then they look like a piece of rag, And yes she was stunning then, but not beautiful now at all.
@@cashmeremonroe7715 Or devil's advocate.
Yes 👍of course
They are both very quick witted. Paul even jumps in with a save when Dave gets pushy!
Dave- 'Your Mom & Dad, were they married?'
Charlize- 'Yes, they were. Then my Mom killed my Dad'
Dave's response would have been iconic.
Yeah I can't believe he didn't know that. In fairness her Dad was a violent alcoholic and she shot him in self defense.
Charlize didn't reveal the whole story about her mom shooting her dad in self-defense until some years later. Her parents had a somewhat turbulent marriage due mostly to the father's alcoholism. It's all just very sad. Charlize has a very close relationship with her mom although I'm not sure if the mom is still alive at this moment.
That's why she never get married. And i do understand this.

She was right about Will 😂😂😂
yep
@@cella630 I can't even look at him anymore. Lost all respect.
She knew he was a goof before the world did.
She ain't all there herself but still, she was able to see thru him even back then.
I can’t watch him anymore. New movie on Netflix with Margot Robby…I looked and it was a no…can’t.
Dave really needs to do research bc he asks her about her parents, weren’t they happily married. Charlize mother killed her father in self defense. I just cringed when Dave asked her about her parents.
Yea, me too.
I didn’t know that about her. That’s a risky question anyway, but how terrible to be asked that under her circumstances. 😬
Yeah. Quite embarrassing. Happened 9 years before this interview.
You are so right. People don't know what others have been through, that whole line of questioning was extremely cringy.
Pretty sure it wasn't public knowledge at this time
She's so comfortable in her skin, confident, natural, smart, beautiful and have great sense of humor. Rare

She starts talking about Will Smith at 07:56
Thank you!
Do you mean the loser, Will Smith?
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Watching this after all these years, I can just never stop thinking how much I LOVE Charlize's laugh! :)
her laugh is almost Hillarious
Pretty much everything ...
Stop thinking. You obviously overthink.
Jeri Ryan has a killer laugh too. Her Star Trek co stars have talked about her laugh in interviews.
oof@@willdwyer6782 it's almost too much to hold both of those ladies in my head.
"He's a complete freak in many things, especially golf." I've heard her talk about Will Smith before like this. Come to find out, she wasn't kidding.
She's so beautiful, she can compliment herself and you just have to agree.
Please upload more Charlize Theron interviews by Letterman!! She is pleasantly witty and funny in a classy way. Sometimes her dark humor gives you a good laugh also.
very... self-assured. I mean they don't ask men if they are going to get married, or who their boyfriend is... it's annoying.
She was only 25 years young at this appearance. She did a great performance in the movie Monster.
49 years in August. Time flies 😊
She plays the part of the charismatic and beautiful actress well.
I am either old, or we do not come by such beautiful actresses anymore
With the exception of Jennifer Lawrence
@@petejones879 wrong choice hun
@otherone1234 I agree, if you're gonna pick a blond actress from the last 10 years, then Margot Robbie or Amanda Seyfried are ones to mention.
@@petejones879 Lawrence? Oh, no. lol
Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and attractive women to exist…..she’s stunning.
Charlize Theron in her youth had that similar statuette grace as Sharon Stone. In fact, the first time I saw her, she gave me Sharon Stone vibes.
They're both tall, blonde, sharp & have bedroom eyes. It's not a bad comparison. Plus they both can stare holes right thru you like what she did @ 9:16.
that face at that time, she literally could play a heavily angelic guardian in a sci fi flick and actual angels would be envious of that. She really is blessed with that gift of natural beauty.
Her beauty is hypnotizing.
Refreshing seeing Miss Theron interview Mr Letterman
4:24 An obvious edit. Watch Charlize’s head and shoulders. Maybe that was where someone told Dave, “You do not want to go there.”
She’s certainly proud of her looks “you have nice teeth…I do I do.”gorgeous, obvi but not humble.
I think what she meant was, she looked after her teeth and was proud of the results as am I of my own teeth for my age .
I have always liked her in movies, she is great of what I have read. She is always good on talk shows when finish not much had been learned about her, she can make a full talk show and leave everyone thinking she put it all out there.
Now I love her even more for calling out Wil Smith on his BS.

This was such a funny and great interview. I'm surprised by her candor. You don't often see that in the entertainment industry.
I thought it started downright creepy frankly, watching Dave attempt flirting was awkward.

She's a great actress, as this interview shows. And i'm pretty sure there isn't a man alive who could meet her standard.
How can someone be so beautiful
How can one be so confident?! And she is!!!
She hit the genetic jackpot how wouldn’t she be… blonde, blue eyed, absolutely perfect face, slim, tall, long legs. Some people have it all.
So genuinely entertaining :)

I love that she ended up interviewing him. She's awesome.
Hey maybe Will was just dehydrated at the Oscars.
They made her wear an alien spaceship in Prometheus.
aren't we all glad we don't need to endure this anymore...
She's adorable and super smart and such a fine actress.
I have a sharon stone Basic Instinct feel in this
As Tina, in That Thing You Do !, she tries to play golf, the scene is funny.
The model whose photo was on Vogue's back cover appeared to be Amber Valletta. I first saw her in "Hitch."
Compared to Charlize, David looks absolutely refreshed.
She sure wasn't kidding about her views on marriage. Letterman was known for his bluntness and I think she is similar in many ways. Her personal life's journey over the last 23 years is certainly unique to say the least. Even by Hollywood's standards!
Her father was a violent alcoholic and her mother had to shoot him in self defense. Weird David didn't know.
Stunning and smart.
The opposite of what Letterman is

She has such range, from drama to action to comedy. She was great in the spy thriller "Atomic Blonde"

She was a very magnetic and attractive woman.
She still is.
A Charlize Theron Talk Show is a must in the future or now.
Charlize Theron made this interview interesting, in spite of how stupid Letterman's questions and comments were.
She's hilarious and real, especially for being so petite.
