Charlize Theron spoke about her struggles with weight loss in her 40s

Charlize Theron spoke about her struggle with weight loss in an old interview with PEOPLE. Being an actor or actress often requires them to gain and lose weight, according to the role she/he is playing. The same was the case with Charlize. However, apparently, losing weight after the project is done is easier when someone is young.

Charlize revealed that losing weight in her 40s was extremely hard for her, while when she was 27, she could do it easily. For a role, Charlize had to gain 50 pounds for her role in Tully, where she was seen as a mom. After the project was over, the actress did everything she could but was unable to lose weight, which led her to call her doctor and say, 'I’m dying because I cannot lose this weight.'

The doctor reassured her that it was because she was in her 40s, and that's how metabolism works. During a 2023 interview with Allure, Charlize stated that when she was 27 and doing a film, Monster, she could easily lose 30 pounds by only skipping meals. 'I missed 3 meals and was back to my normal weight', as shared by her. However, she decided not to ever do a film that would require her to gain weight.
