Speaking to Access Hollywood, Charlize expressed: “We really believe that all young people should have safety, education – every young person all across the world should have access to that.”

Reflecting on her memorable Oscar win two decades ago for Best Actress in 2004, Charlize described the moment as an “out-of-body experience.”

She humorously recounted her internal struggle to maintain composure during her acceptance speech: “I just remember coaching myself, like, ‘Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t look at your mom, your mom will make you cry,’ and then I failed completely at that.” 

Moreover, Charlize dispelled the rumors about her tan during that year's Oscars, clarifying it was a genuine tan from her time in Brazil: “Everybody thought I had a fake tan, and the truth is that I was in Brazil for three weeks prior to the Oscars...And by the way, not a good decision. Like, do not do that either – fake tan, real tan,” she joked, reflecting on the decisions that contribute to the unique Oscar night looks.

In 2004, Charlize was the epitome of Hollywood glamour, clinching the Best Actress Oscar for her riveting portrayal of serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster. 

Her role was a tour de force, requiring a dramatic physical transformation that included gaining 30 pounds for the part. 

On Oscar night, she dazzled everyone, appearing on the red carpet in a sparkling gold Tom Ford for Gucci dress, her hair platinum blonde, and her skin bronzed—a stark contrast to her character in the film, showcasing her versatility and commitment as an actress.
