As beautiful as she is, her disarming quality is her real-ness. She appears to be a very warm, kind person, and somewhat childlike and vulnerable. Talented, adorable.
and I can tell you if you know what her heart is about she possesses the ability to make you go completely quiet as a man who happens to love her for more than a solid decade.. and that is one of the best quality a woman can have to the respective man who is in love with her. have a blessed, my kind friend
Charlize's home language is Afrikaans, which is a language that evolved from the Dutch language taken over by white settlers in the 1600s and 1700s. About half of white South Africans are Afrikaans-speaking at home, and the rest are English-speaking. Charlize studied English at high school, it was a compulsory subject, but she spoke it with a strong Afrikaans accent. It's true that she really "learnt" English in the US, and so her accent is a fairly generic (not regional) American one.
thank you for the lovely comment and input.. these days I think it might be a very optimistic estimate thinking that out of the around 70 million South Africans half of do speak proper afrikaans, my experience is that it has in fact increased in with spread comprehension yet a lot of things gear towards English as main :) but afrikaans as a language is still going very strong :)
She's not only beautiful but here's an actress who's willing to take on any challenge wholeheartedly...and seems to always succeed doing it. Beautiful, great sense of humor, talented and down to earth.
@MyMerlin1 It's actually a curious thing, but some people actually pick up an accent when they are abroad, whilst others retain their own accents. Maybe Charlize just picked up an American accent through living and working in the US.
wow, she has such a unique half-gravelly voice because she is Americanizing her South Africa accent, didn't know that... Kinda like what Hugh Laurie does as "House".
She is really a lovely woman, so warm and funny, and beautfiul. I think she is gorgeous, but then she IS a Leo ... I think, Leos are always larger than life wonderful, when they are not having temper tantrums that is.
WTF in South Africa English is one of the official languages. A lot of people speak English - it was an English colony for a very long time. "She learned to speak English by watching American TV" - bullshit.
If i would have to choose i guess haha. They are both not only beautiful, but intelligent actresses which is hard to come by these days. I should feel closer to Charlize because she's south african, but i just looooooove natalie portman.
@hitchkiek not at the time. she grew up under apartheid in a small south african community and went to an africaans school. she knew some english, but it was rusty she meant until she came to the states.
@hitchkiek so why do you say bull to her not knowing english well till she came to the states? she grew up on an isolated Afrikaans farm community and didn't go to a school where English was really spoken. Its highly possible.
She loves it when the man of her dreams tells her 'I love You' and I love it when the woman of my dreams tells me the say thing, we all are living in a dream....
@MyMerlin1 I don't believe Charlize theron has a accent. Christian bale I've never seen him in an interview with out it. Every body else you mention I dont know who they are (except Naomi but I'm not a fan of her.) Charlize mouth movies like an american, I don't believe she has one. Because some actors / tress MUST have a word they can't pronounce. She has an american accent.
It's interesting how she prefers to hold her body at an angle to the camera; the other interviewees don't do that She also watches the camera, as if she can't trust it.
Every single south African I've met has grown up in a segregated world and they are racist as a result. I'm hoping she knows more than that. You'll probably never see her in an interracial relationship still though.
As beautiful as she is, her disarming quality is her real-ness. She appears to be a very warm, kind person, and somewhat childlike and vulnerable. Talented, adorable.
These are the best interviews in the WORLD!
probably the most beautiful woman in the world

She does an AMAZING job in the movie Monster. She's a very talented actress.
She's not only beautiful but here's an actress who's willing to take on any challenge wholeheartedly...and seems to always succeed doing it. Beautiful, great sense of humor, talented and down to earth.

She has such an incredible voice. What a remarkable woman. I love her so much.

Beautiful and classy presence, nearly perfect American English for someone who came from a predominantly Afrikaans language background
she is South African and I believe Afrikaans is her first language
She's very well-spoken. She has a very clear voice.
She was out of this world in Monster. What a performance.
She seems so down to earth. Beautiful person.
Oh and by the way they speak english in South Africa
@Bananabear20 I'm from South Africa. I know she speaks Afrikaans (with a "k"). And she grew up in Benoni.
This really goes to show how she can be so humble and "Real"... A sweet person.. =-)
Beautiful photography. The cinematographer makes this video. Nice piece from Charlize.
She is one of the prettiest actresses in the past 50 years, in my opinion. :)
Cat dancing in the background? You and Ray William Johnson had a brainstorm? Love the dancing KITTEH!!
Love SA women. The kindest and the most honest in the western hemisphere.
@lexiconlover : I was just about to say something related to this....but you've said it all! thanks.
I could listen to her talk all day.
Classy, beautiful, and very talented...there need to be more actors like her out there.
I love the authenticity of both
She is so intelligent.. hard to believe that English isn't her first language
No
"I'm a loser." Only someone who doesn't give a shit says that. What an artist.
mine is the sound of her voice
WTF in South Africa English is one of the official languages. A lot of people speak English - it was an English colony for a very long time. "She learned to speak English by watching American TV" - bullshit.
By the way, she still speaks Afrikaans every day with her mother Gerda, who moved to the US after Charlize became famous.
such a beautiful woman.
her voice sounds so sweet and genuine.
@MyMerlin1 Yes, which is why I used the phrase "some people" as opposed to "everyone".
You see how that works, do you?
she's mesmerizing. & i love her voice, its not manly at all, its sexy
If i would have to choose i guess haha. They are both not only beautiful, but intelligent actresses which is hard to come by these days. I should feel closer to Charlize because she's south african, but i just looooooove natalie portman.
she's not like those other celebs who try to look pretty 24/7 checkin their hair and stuff. she's just naturally beautiful :)
if you love these watch Inside The Actor's Studio..doesn't get any better then that.
And they speak English in South Africa
Gosh she is soooo gorgeous
@hitchkiek not at the time. she grew up under apartheid in a small south african community and went to an africaans school. she knew some english, but it was rusty she meant until she came to the states.
she is devastatingly beautiful. And I think the work she has done for South Africa is admirable.
What she says on 0:22 till 0:27 ?
I love her face, smile, AND laugh! She's great. :)
She is like the girl in Sappho's poem - The Beauty of the Bridegroom. I love listening to her sweet speaking.
Man, she is beautiful in every sense of the word. What an inspiration to an aspiring actress.
i was just askin' cuz she was talkin' about not havin' theaters around so i was like wtf
@3482 yeah I know that. but Charlize apparently learned English by watching American tv, which would explain why her accent is American
Charlize Theron: One of the most amazing actresses. ever. ever.
Charlize Theron, my love~ Love your smile, love your voice, love anything that make me love you more, you're my angel!
Charlize is so beautiful
i absolutely love this woman, she's amazing
How she looks in "Monster", is how she looks in real life. How she looks here is just alot of good makeup.
Hermosa 💋💋💋💋💋💋
that video was too short. i could have watched her talk for hours
she’s a cutie ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am in love with ❤ Charllize Theron ❤️ to eternity ❤️
@farido1984 that lucky guy would be Stuart Townsend =]
i enjoy her sound affects
@hitchkiek so why do you say bull to her not knowing english well till she came to the states? she grew up on an isolated Afrikaans farm community and didn't go to a school where English was really spoken. Its highly possible.
the most beautyful woman in the world
i love the last comment at the end :)
we get it...you're from South Africa.
she's stunning. she sorta looks like Adriana Lima just with an even more beautiful smile :)
"Like, Oh Boy I wish my dog wasn't sick?" - Zach Galifianakis
her voice is gorgeous
There isn't a girl alive more beautiful than Charlize.
@Trauncher hahahahahahaha that gave me a great mental picture
Point break has a re make. But you can do something of a remake of splash?
"I like the sound of my dog begging for food." ??
Sadist!
I'd have to go with natalie portman
@Bananabear20 I told some of my friends what you commented on this video and they all laughed.
is she talking about when tom hanks says i love you?
"I love you, je-nay"
shes the definition of beauty!!
shes such a cutie i really like her voice
She loves it when the man of her dreams tells her 'I love You' and I love it when the woman of my dreams tells me the say thing, we all are living in a dream....
@MyMerlin1
I don't believe Charlize theron has a accent.
Christian bale I've never seen him in an interview with out it. Every body else you mention I dont know who they are (except Naomi but I'm not a fan of her.)
Charlize mouth movies like an american, I don't believe she has one. Because some actors / tress MUST have a word they can't pronounce. She has an american accent.
She is beyond beautiful.
She has a unique personality and at the same time all the bimbos in the world look up to her, can't get much better than that.
i love her shes great from every side u want to see her
She's simple The Best!!!
Charlize Theron is such a wonderful person
It's interesting how she prefers to hold her body at an angle to the camera; the other interviewees don't do that
She also watches the camera, as if she can't trust it.
oh Charlize, make me fly. Adorable laugh and the most Beautiful smile ever.
"...and if it was R rated she'd hide me under a blanket because it was too far of a drive back.."
@MyMerlin1 shes def not trying to pass off as an american
she does mention south africa like a billion times lol
Why is it in black and white?
DAMN YOU DARYL HANNAH! Hahahah
Charlize, for every star in heaven shines, I would give you a kiss.
she's beautiful inside out...
she's my fave.
Charlize é a mulher mais linda de todos os tempos , imcomparávelllll
she is sooo cute and so is her laugh... and DAMN how old is she?
Not just a pretty face...wonderfulactress
noun. deriving pleasure or sexual gratification from inflicting pain on another.
Those are some HUGE identity-concealing shades resting on her head. But I can see why she has to be all incognito: She'd be mobbed to no end by fans.
Oh how I love that woman.
Smart and pretty
OMG I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I don't like dogs or cats , I like birds as pets , birds are the best
Every single south African I've met has grown up in a segregated world and they are racist as a result. I'm hoping she knows more than that. You'll probably never see her in an interracial relationship still though.
