Top 10 Charlize Theron’s Less-Than-Ideal Life Story



9 Growing Up In South Africa

As you can see, it made her school years even more difficult. Particularly when it came down to yearbook day. “That was difficult, you know. Being in school, having photos taken, while I was pretending to have teeth. It was awful.” Poor girl. Theron also shared his memories of growing up in South Africa.

At eight years old, her three most prized possessions included her pet goat, ballet shoes, and her VHS tape of ‘Splash’ starring Tom Hanks. Theron said that she watched the tape so many times that the ribbon of the VHS broke and she had the tape repaired with Scotch tape or, as South Africans call it, Sellotape. Theron felt that the movie was her escape.
