During a red carpet interview with Extra correspondent Terry Serymour, Theron shared that her two children don’t necessarily view their mother’s major career in Hollywood as that big of a deal. <\/p>\n
‘They just think of this as work,’ said Theron. ‘I don’t think any of this makes sense to them.’<\/p>\n
Theron has adopted two daughters: 10-year-old Jackson and seven-year-old August. <\/p>\n
The Young Adult star went on to describe how she recently pushed her daughters out of their comfort zone during a summer film shoot in Rome.<\/p>\n
‘It was summer break and they just kinda, like, didn’t want to do anything,’ Theron explained.<\/p>\n
Charlize described how her two girls begrudgingly did some ‘half-a**ed’ activities, leading the formidable star to declare: ‘You just need to have a backbone.’<\/p>\n

The renowned actress and producer opened about various women who have helped to strengthen her own backbone with ‘blunt’ wisdom. <\/p>\n
Four-time Oscar Winner Frances McDormand, 65, gave Theron the best advice of her career: ‘Don’t take any s**t.’<\/p>\n
Another inspirational figure in Theron’s life and career has been legendary Hollywood executive Sherry Lansing, 78, who stands as one Charlize’s ‘biggest mentors.’<\/p>\n
‘I am here today because of women like her,’ Theron said of Lansing. <\/p>\n
But the Long Shot star reserved her ultimate praise for her mother Gerda, who shot Theron’s alcoholic father in self-defense after he drunkenly threatened them both with a gun in 1991. <\/p>\n
Raving about her mother, Theron declared: ‘If I didn’t do something with my life, I would have been a waste to humanity, just purely being bred and raised by that trailblazer.’<\/p>\n
