Charlize Theron Doesn’t Think She’s Famous Like Kim Kardashian
Theron has been a part of the film industry for several years and has done several critically acclaimed and commercially successful films. Despite all this, the actress feels she’s not that famous.
In an interview with Harper Bazaar, Theron said: “I feel like I’m at a place where it is what it is.” She continued, “Working more isn’t, I think, going to change my level of fame. It just has always been a mediocre ride.”
“I’ve never been one of those people that’s at a Kim Kardashian level. But I feel like it’s just always been this thing,” she continued.
The actress also talked about growing up in South Africa. “I didn’t grow up in America so I always find myself kind of trying to keep my head above water with the school system and exams, because it’s not familiar to me. My education was just so different than what my kids are having in America.”

Theron Also Talked About Her Early Experience In Hollywood
Theron also talked about a “belittling” experience from when she started out as an actress. “Having absolutely no control over what you’re wearing is a big one that really fucking annoyed me for years,” the Oscar winner said.
“Having some guy make you have a fitting almost in front of them—stuff like that, it’s really belittling. When I started, there was no conversation around it. It was like, ‘This is what you’re wearing.’”
She talked about one of her experiences. “I remember one movie in particular, this male director who just kept bringing me in, fitting after fitting after fitting after … And it was just so obvious that it was to do with my sexuality and how fuckable they could make me in the movie. And when I started out, that was just kind of the norm.”
All these experiences led Theron to start her own production company, Denver & Delilah, in 2003.
