Brad Who? Charlize Rules the Cover of ‘W Magazine’

Move over, Brad! W Magazine has another cover model—her name is Charlize Theron, maybe you’ve heard of her?—and she is “bringing the hotness” in ways Brad Pitt can only dream.

Both Brad and Charlize have their own separate covers for W‘s February “Movie Issue,” and if you ask me, Charlize totally wins. Seriously, how good does she look? I ask you.

W‘s Lynn Hirschberg talked to Charlize about her early career, as well as her latest flick, Young Adult. Charlize, in her own words:

“I liked Mavis [in Young Adult], but no, I don’t think I need to like my characters. I do think empathy is very important. It’s crucial to understand circumstance and story to grasp the role in a truthful manner. Your characters are like your children: Sometimes they make you proud, and other times, you think, Oh, really?!”

“For the first eight years of my life, I didn’t have front teeth. I was pretty sick as an infant, and antibiotics rotted them.”

“I wanted to be a ballerina, but I was too tall, and I had too many injuries. What I loved as a ballerina was telling stories, and I could also do that with acting, so I eventually moved to L.A.”

Oh, Charlize. Could I possibly adore you any more than I already do?

  • they have photoshopped the ever loving bejeezus out of her! without the headline i would have had ZERO idea that was her

  • it’s the lighting too but wtf is a “bejeezus” anyway? i know it’s an expression but…whatever. she seems like a diva…that’s what i got from watching her on the globes E thing.
    I love her. And Mavis flick was depressing but great.

    • “Bejeesus” is said by people who don’t want to say Jesus, because to them that is saying the name of the Lord in vain. I prefer “fuck”.

  • it’s not that i didn’t want to say Jesus i just couldn’t think of a word to properly encapsulate that photoshop job, i now know the word i was searching for was “fuckery”
