Charlize Theron thinks she’s fat now that she’s gained 30 pounds. The blonde beauty recently admitted her weight gain is for her new role in the upcoming film, ‘Tully,’ in which she plays a mother whose brother hires her as a nanny after she gives birth to her third child.

Rather than wear a fat suit for the role – as many actresses in her position do – Charlize actually gained weight for the movie, even though others would see it as a huge inconvenience. Charlize made the revelation at the amfAR Inspiration Gala in Los Angeles when she told her good friend Chelsea Handler, “Yes, I am very fat right now,” while also wearing a long black floor-length dress and blazer that covered her body.

Knowing that her opportunities in Hollywood are numbered these days – especially considering that she is 41 now – Charlize is willing to do whatever it takes to stay relevant and keep her name in the headlines, regardless of how much weight she needs to gain or even lose for her to look believable on the big screen.

Other actresses such as Gwyneth Paltrow would never make such a bold move and sacrifice their hard-earned bodies and that’s why Charlize is hoping that it will help set her apart from the rest of the Hollywood pack.

Of course for someone like Charlize Theron to call herself ‘fat’ because she gained 30 pounds is preposterous and unrealistic. Sure, Charlize is an actress who started off her career as a model, but she’s always was always thinner and taller and had smaller proportions than the average woman. For Charlize to call herself fat now though will definitely get her plenty of criticism from fans who know that she’s far from it.

Do you think Charlize Theron indeed looks fat? Charlize is clearly at a normal weight but according to Hollywood standards, there’s no way she’ll find work again if she doesn’t shed the pounds quickly after filming for her latest movie. But knowing how much Charlize depends on her status as a Hollywood sex symbol, it’s doubtful she’ll carry her extra weight with her for too long.

Even Charlize herself knows that she has to be back in the shape she was if she plans on finding work in the very cutthroat industry that is Hollywood. Sure, many in the industry love to preach to their fans to love themselves the way they are, but everyone knows that’s far from the real truth.
