She opened up about being a single mom and her “village.”
“When my kids say, ‘Mom, nobody makes pasta better than you,’ nothing gets close to that,” she told the magazine. “I don’t ever need them to be like, ‘Oh, you’re in that movie.’ I am still carrying such a grudge that there’s a mom in our circle who makes French toast that my kid raves about. And she’s given me the recipe and I’ve tried it. And every time I make it, my kid is like, ‘No, Aunt Nicole’s is better.’ And I’m like, motherf—ker. I am way more driven by that stuff.
“I think that’s more important than fame or anything like that,” she said. “I saw my mom work hard, and I remember just my whole life thinking, nothing is going to get handed. You have to work harder than anybody else in the room.”Theron says Hollywood is easier to navigate than motherhood, especially as a South African who grew up in such a different way than children in the U.S.
Theron, who is also passionate about humanitarian causes such as the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS, knows that she’s no longer “just Charlize” but the head of a family unit. And that motivates her in every which way.
