Charlize Theron BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Charlize Theron has been actively making moves in Hollywood and the fashion world over the past few days. Most significantly, the Oscar-winning actress is in final negotiations to star in and produce a new thriller called Tyrant for Amazon MGM Studios. According to Deadline, the project comes from writer-director David Weil, known for his work on Citadel. The film is set in New York City's high-end culinary world and has been described as Wall Street meets Whiplash. Amazon MGM Studios acquired the script after a fierce bidding war, and the project has been fast-tracked following Theron's interest. She will also produce through her Secret Menu banner alongside her partners Beth Kono and A.J. Dix. Another leading female role in the film remains to be cast, suggesting what insiders are calling tour de force performances ahead.
Beyond this culinary thriller, Theron's slate remains impressively packed. She's set to appear in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, the survival thriller Apex alongside Taron Egerton and Eric Bana, and Justin Lin's Two for the Money, following her recent Netflix sequel The Old Guard 2.
On the fashion front, Theron made headlines at Paris Fashion Week when she attended the Dior show earlier this month. A viral video captured a moment that sparked significant social media discussion. According to multiple entertainment outlets including Just Jared and Uinterview, Theron greeted French First Lady Brigitte Macron and Bernard Arnault, CEO of LVMH, but appeared to walk past her former costar Johnny Depp without acknowledging him. The two actors worked together on The Astronaut's Wife back in 1999. The clip generated considerable online commentary, with observers noting Depp's apparent attempts to greet her as she moved away.
Additionally, Theron has been lauded for her humanitarian work. She recently appeared in a short film alongside Prince Harry and Magic Johnson rallying support for HIV and AIDS awareness.
The actress continues to be a vocal advocate for gender equality in Hollywood. She's been speaking out about the disparity in how studios greenlight action films, arguing that female-led action movies face significantly more resistance than their male-counterparts, even when male leads have strings of box office failures.
