Charlize Theron reveals what frustrates about Hollywood

Charlize Theron reveals what frustrates about Hollywood

Time of India6 days ago
Hollywood actress
Charlize Theron
has called out a double standard when it comes to action movies.
The Oscar-winning actress, who has been fronting action movies since 2005's 'Aeon Flux', said studios often give female actors just one shot to have an action movie hit, reports 'Variety'.
She told 'The New York Times', "Yeah, it's harder. That's known. Action films with female leads don't get greenlit as much as the ones with male leads. I think the thing that always frustrates me is the fact that guys will get a free ride".
As per 'Variety', she said that when it comes to men, however, they can have a box office flop but still land multiple follow-up projects.

"When women do this and the movie maybe doesn't hit fully, they don't necessarily get a chance again", she continued.
"With this, we were very aware that eyes were on us. It's not a risk that studios want to take, but they'll take it many times on the same guy who might have a string of action movies that did not do so well".
Theron is currently headlining Netflix's action sequel 'The Old Guard 2'. It's her latest action role after the likes of 'Atomic Blonde' and 'Mad Max: Fury Road', among others.
She told The Times her commitment to her action roles has left her body worn out.
She said, "I run into people and they're like, 'Oh, what happened to your arm?' And I'm like, 'Oh, I just had surgery'. And they're like, 'The last time I saw you, you had surgery".
"I had an unfortunate injury on the first action attempt I ever did, for a bad movie called 'Aeon Flux.' On day nine, I did a back handspring, and I didn't get enough height, and I landed on my neck on a concrete bridge. I had the last surgery on my neck 18 years ago. I've had surgery on both elbows, my right shoulder, my thumb, carpal tunnel, fractures. A lot of fractures", she added.

'I wouldn't want to go': Hollywood star shares thoughts on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce romance and weighs in on wedding buzz

Eric Stonestreet expresses his thoughts for Travis Kelce's relationship with Taylor Swift In a world where celebrity romances often draw mixed reactions, Modern Family star Eric Stonestreet has nothing but admiration for the pairing of Taylor Swift and NFL superstar Travis Kelce . The Emmy-winning actor recently opened up about the high-profile couple, offering heartfelt support and shedding light on his long-standing friendship with Kelce. Eric Stonestreet believes Taylor Swift deserves someone like Travis Kelce Speaking candidly in a recent interview, Eric Stonestreet didn't hesitate to shower praise on Travis Kelce, calling him a 'great guy' and expressing joy at the singer finding someone so genuine. 'Travis is awesome,' Stonestreet said. 'I've known Travis for a long time, and I was so happy for him when they started dating because I know him. She deserves a great guy, and he's a great guy.' The actor, deeply connected to the Kansas City Chiefs community, has long supported Kelce both on and off the field. His words offer a rare window into Kelce's personal character—especially at a time when public perception of celebrity relationships can be shaped by endless rumors and speculation. On attending a Swift-Kelce wedding? 'I wouldn't want to force my way in' When asked about the possibility of attending a future wedding between the pop icon and the football star, Stonestreet's response was refreshingly humble. 'Oh my god, I don't know about that,' he laughed.

While his personal life intersects with NFL headlines, Stonestreet is also stepping into new territory professionally. Best known for his comedic role as Cam Tucker, he's been cast as a serial killer in the upcoming Dexter: Resurrection series. 'The fact they thought who'd be right for this would be me immediately flatters you, right?' he said. 'Once I saw the material, I was in. (It's) just an awesome experience.' The shift marks a bold departure from his sitcom legacy, showing Stonestreet's versatility and appetite for challenging roles. Travis Kelce remains locked in on football despite speculation Meanwhile, Travis Kelce is focused on football first.

'I know I'm getting older, but at the same time I still feel like I got a lot that I can prove in this league.'
