Charlize Theron biography
Theron was born on August 7, 1975, in Benoni, Transvaal Province South Africa. She is the only child of two road workers, Charles Theron and Gerda. Her great-granduncle Danie Theron was a military commander during the Second Boer War.
She comes from an Afrikaner family and has Dutch, French, and German ancestry. Her French ancestors were early South African Huguenots.
She was raised on the family farm in Benoni, a city close to Johannesburg. On June 21, 1991, Theron’s drunken father violently assaulted her mother and pointed a gun at both of them as he threatened teenage Charlize and her mother. Theron’s mother found her own revolver, fired at him, and he was killed.
Since the shooting was ruled to have been in self-defence, her mother was not prosecuted. Theron attended Putfontein Primary School at a time when she claimed she was having trouble “fitting in”.
She suffered from jaundice frequently as a kid, and the medicines she was given caused her upper incisor milk teeth to decay (requiring surgical removal); also, her teeth did not begin to erupt until she was almost ten years old.
Theron started her education at the National School of the Arts in Johannesburg when she was 13 and was sent to boarding school.
She has expressed the following about her early years in her native South Africa: “I grew up as an only child there, and although there was strife in my family, the surroundings were so wonderful. There were no Game Boys, laptops, or concerts because we had sanctions, so I spent much of my time barefoot on the dirt. You had to find ways to amuse yourself as a result.
