Charlize Therone’s Childhood in South Africa Helps Her Raise Kids

Despite the fact that we’re still in the midst of a worldwide pandemic and should probably just be staying at home most of the time – there’s a lot happening in the US. There were protests to do with human rights, race, quarantine and while we’re used to thinking that celebs are unaffected by all this, Charlize Theron recently shared in the interview how she’s been dealing with the recent events and what are her thoughts on everything.

Let’s all remember that Charlize Theron grew up in South Africa, so she’s definitely very aware of race issues. This was a country that still had segregation going on well into the 90s. Secondly, there was the biggest HIV epidemic in South Africa when Charlize was still a child and she remembers how that shook up her world even as a child and how the whole country nearly broke up into a civil war. And thirdly Charlize is a mom of two daughters who happen to be black. So she can draw the parallels between her childhood in South Africa and what’s happening in America right now. She’s acutely aware of everything that’s happening right now.
