“Monster”

Charlize Theron gained 30 pounds and an Oscar to play serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster. Theron was pragmatic about the weight saying, “It wasn’t about getting fat. Aileen wasn’t fat. Aileen carried scars on her body from her lifestyle, and if I’d gone to make this movie with my body—physically I’m very athletic—I don’t know that I would have felt the things Aileen felt with her body. It was about getting to a place where I felt closer to how Aileen was living.”

For her role in “Sweet November,” Theron did not eat dinner, refused to eat anything after 5 p.m., and cut out all starches and alcohol. Cutting out most carbohydrates is probably why Charlize said she felt weaker and unlike her usual athletic self.*Charlize Theron has always been athletic. She was trained as a ballet dancer, but also frequently enjoys squash and ice skating. Theron also does a lot of yoga and takes long runs.
