Hollywood actress
Charlize Theron
has shared what made her daughters terrified about her. The 49-year-old actress adopted the hairstyle for her part in the new movie 'The Old Guard 2' and it was something that didn't sit well with her daughters.
The actress shared that her adopted daughters - Jackson, 12, and August, 9, were far from impressed with the look, reports 'Female First UK'.
Charlize told the chat show Late Night with
Seth Meyers
, "I have two girls, and they're very, very... they're mostly very girly. And they think of me as a princess. And they want Mom to look like a princess. But they came back from school. I was in my bathroom and I was getting it cut and it had already been coloured.
And I just remember looking over and they both came into the room really excited, and then they just both froze. And they just went... and one started crying".
The Oscar-winning star shared, "One literally started bawling their eyes out. And I had to actually sit down with her and say, 'We all get to be who we want to be. And right now, Mom wants to wear a mullet.' I don't tell you what to do with your hair".

Impersonating one of her children, Charlize added, "I still don't like it".
As per 'Female First UK', The 'Mad Max: Fury Road' actress revealed last month that her children are unimpressed by her Hollywood career.
During an appearance on
Jimmy Kimmel
Live!, Theron quipped, "My children have zero respect for me. It's just unbelievable, I feel like I'm pretty humble, but every once in a while I'm like, 'There's a f****** Oscar right there'. They are so not impressed with me".
Charlize recalled an incident when her youngest child unflatteringly compared her with
Tom Cruise
.
She explained, "I was picking up my youngest from dance yesterday and we drove past the new Mission Impossible poster where Tom Cruise is hanging onto some yellow plane, and he just looks really cool".
She further mentioned, "My kids were with me when I shot 'Old Guard 2' and I worked on this incredibly intricate sequence where we brought in this amazing helicopter pilot, Fred North, and we were gonna choreograph me fighting helicopters and jumping on this real helicopter and hanging off.
Shooting 99 per cent of it on a real helicopter as it's trying to shake me off like a rag doll".
"We took like two weeks to shoot this sequence and I was like, 'Wow, I just did that, that's really amazing'. And my child yesterday just looked at this poster of Tom Cruise and went, 'It's weird, he looks so much cooler than you did when you were hanging off the helicopter'. I was just like, 'I hung off the helicopter, (can I have) some credit?'", she added.

Everything we know about Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding
Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men in the world, and Lauren Sánchez, an Emmy-winning TV host and pilot, are celebrating their nuptials this weekend in a three-day Venetian wedding extravaganza. Local vendors, from water-taxi providers to pastry shops to traditional glassblowers, are embracing the event as a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity. Other residents have protested, unwilling to let their city become a playground for the rich. Bezos and Sánchez arrived in Venice on Wednesday, and guests have been trickling into the city; yachts and private jets abound. Here's what to expect as the weekend of celebrations unfolds, according to press accounts, local officials and the wedding planners. The wedding festivities are expected to begin on Thursday with a casual welcome event next to the Gothic church of Madonna dell'Orto. On Friday, Bezos and Sánchez plan to exchange vows at the San Giorgio Maggiore Basilica on the Venetian island of San Giorgio Maggiore. The ceremony is expected to feature a performance from Matteo Bocelli, the son of acclaimed Italian singer Andrea Bocelli. Their wedding reception will take place on Saturday at the Arsenale, a fortified medieval shipyard. The reception was originally supposed to happen in Scuola Grande Della Misericordia, a Renaissance-era building in the center of the city, but the venue changed because of security concerns. While fewer than 200 guests are anticipated to attend the festivities, the guest list remains largely unknown. But several high-profile attendees have already touched down in Venice. Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and their children were photographed arriving at the St. Regis Hotel on Wednesday. Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg were photographed in the city the same day. (Von Furstenberg has a home in Venice.) Sánchez's ex-boyfriend, former NFL player Tony Gonzalez, his wife, October Gonzalez, who is Sánchez's friend, and their family are also in Italy, according to posts on social media. Kris Jenner, Corey Gamble, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom arrived in Venice on Thursday. A yacht belonging to Amazon investor Bill Miller was docked in the city this week. Eva Longoria and Fox Sports broadcaster Charissa Thompson, who attended Sánchez's bachelorette party in May, are expected to attend the wedding. Katy Perry, who also attended the bachelorette party, won't be attending as she is on tour. Other potential guests include Bill Gates, Mick Jagger and Leonardo DiCaprio. In a note to guests adorned with drawings of feathers, shooting stars and butterflies, the couple stated clearly that they want no gifts. Luca Zaia, the governor of the Veneto region, of which Venice is part, told reporters this week that the celebrations would cost 'at least €40 million," or around $46 million. Local government officials and business owners view the week's celebration as fertile ground for economic opportunities. Most supplies, services and products for the wedding are coming from Venetian vendors. Rosa Salva, a historic family pastry and catering business, will fill goody bags with traditional sweets like little cornmeal and raisin treats called zaletti cookies. Laguna B, a design studio crafting handblown glassware, has also created pieces for the wedding. Venetian officials are hoping the event leads to longer-term investments by Bezos and his affluent guests. Activists feel differently. While Venice's economy depends entirely on tourism, some locals say it has disrupted their lives. They express disdain at being subject to the whims of the incoming rich visitors. Many Venetians also believe Amazon is responsible for driving out local businesses that serve the needs of city residents. Earlier this month, with chants of 'No Space for Bezos," some locals protested the wedding. While they had initially planned to protest outside of the wedding's venues this weekend, they are now holding a march instead near a train station. The group has broadened its focus, too, with a new slogan: 'No Space for Bezos, no Space for War," a reference to the wars in Iran and Gaza. Lanza & Baucina, the firm responsible for organizing the wedding, said that its clients and the company were committed to minimizing disruptions to the city. 'We have always acknowledged the wider debate and critical issues surrounding the city's future, and from the outset our client has been honored to support the city and its all-important lagoon through nonprofit organizations and associated projects," Lanza & Baucina said in a statement. The couple wrote in a note to guests that they were donating to three charities that support the city on behalf of their guests. 'This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories. Our hope is that through these efforts and by you joining us, Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come," the couple wrote to guests. Write to Helena Getahun-Hawkins at
