Charlize Theron, 47, gets candid as she says she has ‘never been at a Kim Kardashian level’ of fame

>

Charlize Theron has gotten real about her fame as she claims she has never reached Kim Kardashian’s level in a candid interview.

The 47-year-old Oscar winner discussed a variety of topics, including her current star power, as she appeared on the cover of The Process Issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

Since Charlize takes a more active role behind the camera as a producer, she was asked if it was an active move to remove herself from the spotlight.

The actress was open and honest when she said, “I feel like I’m in a place where it is what it is.

“Working more, I don’t think, will change my level of fame. It’s just always been a mediocre ride. I’ve never been one of those people with a Kim Kardashian level. But I feel like it’s always been that way.”

Charlize hasn’t been hit because she said she believes her star power has less money now than before.

‘I pitch all day and people say, ‘No thanks”: Charlize hasn’t been hit because she said she believes her star power now has less money than before

She explained, “I’ll say, it used to be like, you want to have some of this fame so you can make the shit you really want to make.

“But now it’s like, I pitch all day and people say, ‘No, thanks.’ I’m like, “I guess that’s not cash in the bank anymore.” And that’s nice. It’s nice that you make things based on how good they are versus this idea of, like, “Oh, you’re this thing, and we want to do business with that thing.”

However, less time at work has its advantages, as she can spend more time with her daughters: 10-year-old Jackson and eight-year-old August.

Charlize said her kids are starting to realize her fame when she said, “Their friends ask things like, ‘Is your mom in a Marvel movie?’

She went on to say that they will sometimes see her appear in Dior fragrance ads as they go through the airport, which will often be an illicit response.

The A-list actress explained: “They’ll act like they’re so ashamed. They’ll say, “Oh God. Don’t look, Mom. There’s a huge picture of you.”

However, it’s not a world famous actress who means a lot to her kids, it’s the simpler things.

Charlize said, “When my kids say, ‘Mom, nobody makes pasta better than you,’ nothing comes close. I never need them to say, “Oh, you’re in that movie.”

“I still hold such a grudge that there is a mother in our circle who makes French toast that my child loves. And she gave me the recipe and I tried it. And every time I make it, my kid says, “No, Aunt Nicole’s is better.” And I’m like, motherfucker. I’m much more driven by that stuff.’
