Despite English Being Her Second Language, Charlize Theron No ... (TheThings)

Charlize Theron's lack of an accent has often confused people who know that Afrikaans is her first language.

Obviously, her recent comments are not a step in the right direction, but hopefully, she will soon be taking the steps to make amends, if her love for her roots is as strong as she's always claimed. "I have a very, very strong connection to my country and to its people. After such a traumatic event, Charlize and her mom uprooted their lives and tried to move on, make it somewhere else. This, of course, resulted in mountains of criticism and backlash from people all over the world who rightfully were very offended by that statement. "I love my country. "I think, for me, it took a long time to sink in, what had really happened because you just don't think stuff like that will ever happen to you. And I know that if my daughter was in the same situation, I would do the same thing." Lots of people don't actually know she's South African, even though she doesn't deny her origins. "If it was just about me, I think I could talk about it." But this article will not be focusing on her incredible career and the many iconic credits to her name. Things came to a head on the night of June 21, 1991. Charlize's mom defended herself and ended up killing the father.

The singer-actress attended the 73rd Academy Awards in her revolutionary swan dress by Macedonian designer Marjan Pejoski. The whimsical garment featured gently puff sleeves, a backless design, gothic black lace panels that caressed the bodice, a dropped waistline and a densely ruffled train.
