JAKARTA - Charlize Theron admits that he is following a request to increase weight for a role. During the conversation with Allure, the Fast X star said that he would no longer take a role if it required extreme body transformation.

"I'll never make a film again and say, 'Yes, my weight will increase by 40 pounds (18 kg).' I'll never do it again because you can't let it go," Charlize Theron said.

Charlize admitted that this change in body weight occurred when he received the Monster film project, where he collided with Christina Ricci. During the film, he lost up to 13 kilograms of weight in a day.

When I was 27, I played the movie 'Monster.' I lost 30 pounds (13 kg), like, overnight. I missed three meals and my weight returned to normal," he explained.

But Charlize Theron said that with age, losing the excess weight gained for the role became almost impossible. He studied it directly after his weight increased by 50 pounds (22 kg) for Tully's 2018 drama.

The weight was successfully lowered by Charlize for about a year. During that time, he contacted a team of doctors to return his weight to its original state.

I remember a year trying to lose weight, I called the doctor and said, 'I thought I was dying because I couldn't lose weight.' Like, 'You're over 40 years old. Take it easy. Your metabolism isn't like that. Nobody wants to hear it, "he said.
