Charlize Theron’s letting the media know that she’ll no longer stand for rude questions about her looks.
She tells the new issue of W magazine, “You better not be bringing up ugly.” Theron insists she did nothing to play down her stunning looks in North Country or The Valley of Elah - two films, for which her characters were called less than attractive.

She fumes, “North Country was dirt. That’s what happens when you go into a mine.
“In the Valley of Elah - that’s when I took real offence, because that was just my real hair colour and me with no makeup.” And the Oscar-winner is also annoyed by people who think she chooses `ugly’ roles to win awards and favour as a serious actress.
She adds, “It really irks me that people think I choose these roles because, if I’m not looking attractive, they will take me seriously. I’m sorry, but if I’m going to play a cop, I’m not going to be wearing eyeliner.
“I’m not going to wake up in a scene with lip gloss on, because that’s not how women wake up, not even the most beautiful women.”

Charlize Theron treats her acting career as one big therapy session, to help her deal with demons from her past.

The actress suffered a traumatic youth - when she was 15 years old she witnessed her mother shoot dead her abusive father in self-defence.

Fiction mimics reality in Theron’s new movie ‘Sleepwalking’, in which she plays a mother forced to bring up her daughter alone after her partner abandons her.

But the 32-year-old claims she uses painful film roles to help her heal, stating the dramatic parts act like a session with a psychiatrist.

She explains: “I am incredibly lucky. I get to do a job which is very cathartic. People go to therapy because we are mechanically inclined to not want to deal with emotion or trauma. Anything that’s not pretty. That’s what we do.

“I get to go to therapy in my work. I go to some very dark places, and I think it’s healthy to do that.”

The trailer for Sleepwalking, the new film starring Charlize Theron, Nick Stahl, AnnaSophia Robb, Dennis Hopper and Woody Harrelson, exemplifies a terrible grasp on the power of italics. As for the rest, it’s sad to say as the cast is eclectic and has stories for days, but I’m ready to flick this film off to the overpopulated land of promising-indies turned unnecessary-and-forgotten-bummers.

Charlize Theron claims she is naturally plain. The Oscar-winning actress, who plays a small-town cop and single mother in new film ‘In the Valley of Elah’, insists her character’s appearance is how she really looks behind all the Hollywood glamor.

Charlize, 32, said: “If you don’t consider my character beautiful, I’m sorry, but that’s really me.”

“That’s my natural hair color. That’s me with very little make-up. There’s no prosthetics. That’s what I look like.”

The blonde star - who always appears on the red carpet looking radiant - insists all the good lead roles for women are ugly.

Charlize - who had to gain weight and dramatically alter her appearance to play serial killer Aileen Wuornos in ‘Monster’ - said: “It’s not like I’ve been offered any great glamorous roles that had great conflict and great story-telling. But I’m not going to be picky because those are hard to come by. If I sit around waiting for a good, glamorous story to come around, I’m probably never going to work.”
