Charlize Theron is known for fully immersing herself in each role she undertakes—but, she told Allure, there’s one thing she’ll never do for a movie role again. “I will never, ever do a movie again and say ‘Yeah, I’ll gain 40 pounds,’” she said. “I will never do it again because you can’t take it off. When I was 27, I did Monster. I lost 30 pounds, like, overnight. I missed three meals, and I was back to my normal weight. Then I did it at 43 for Tully, and I remember a year into trying to lose the weight, I called my doctor and I said, ‘I think I’m dying because I cannot lose this weight.’ And he was like, ‘You’re over 40. Calm down. Your metabolism is not what it was.’ Nobody wants to hear that.”
