Charlie Theron grateful for career success

Charlie Theron admits she’s grateful to have had such a successful Hollywood career.

The actress who is working on her own Africa Outreach Project, which focuses on sex education and HIV/AIDS prevention said that her charity work puts everything into perspective.

“I’m sitting on a toilet for seven days with diarrhoea. But it’s the thing that puts everything into perspective,” she told USA Today.

“There’s a part of me that will always be the South African who knows and realizes how unbelievably fortunate I have been.

“I’m completely spoiled don’t get me wrong but I am not one of those people who needs another box of eye shadow. I only have two eyelids.

“There’s only so much eye shadow that can go on two eyelids. I don’t like a lot of stuff. I have a thing against excess.”

Theron recently admitted she hates watching herself onscreen.

“I hate to see myself on screen,” she said. “When I did Monster it wasn’t too bad, because I didn’t look like Charlize Theron.”
