Charlize Theron Not Too Hard On Herself As A New Mom

‘[Jackson] doesn’t understand anything right now, and so he just wants my face to look a certain way,’ actress tells MTV News. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Charlize and Jackson Theron Photo: Europa Press/Getty Images Given Charlize Theron’s colorful, always-entertaining personality, we never know quite what to expect from the actress (other than being consistently entertained by whatever she does in her films, interviews, etc.). We expect the unexpected from Theron. Nevertheless, when news broke that she had adopted a baby boy named Jackson in March, we were pleasantly surprised. Theron has kept the details of the adoption private, but when MTV News caught up with her recently during the press day for “Snow White and the Huntsman,” we asked her about the adjustment associated with first-time parenting and how she plans to keep her potty mouth under control in front of her son. “A lot of people have sent me these children’s books, and there’s this amazing book, a best-seller [called] ‘Go the F— to Sleep.’ This book was fantastic for me because it made me realize that I don’t need to judge myself right now,” Theron said of getting used to parenting. “The whole book is just basically, ‘Please, go the f— to sleep.’ [Jackson] doesn’t understand anything right now, and so he just wants my face to look a certain way.” Although parenting is a full-time job, we’re confident that Theron will figure out a way to be a terrific mother and continue to be a terrific actress. You can catch the Oscar-winner playing Evil Queen Ravenna in “Huntsman,” which opens June 1. Speaking of “Huntsman,” don’t forget to tune in to MTV and MTV.com for our extra-special Sneak Peek Week , which kicks off Tuesday (May 29) with a screening of “Huntsman” and a very special Q&A with stars Kristen Stewart and Sam Claflin.

Charlize Theron Adopts Baby Boy

Actress’ rep confirms to People magazine that she is a ‘proud mom.’ By Jocelyn Vena Charlize Theron Photo: Getty Images Charlize Theron is a new mom. No, you didn’t miss the baby bump. The Oscar-winner just adopted a boy, her rep confirmed to People. “She is the proud mom of a healthy baby boy named Jackson,” the rep told the magazine in a statement. No additional details about Jackson were available at press time. While baby Jackson is Theron’s first child, it seems that the star has been thinking about motherhood for some time. In a 2010 interview, she opened up about wanting to tackle an important role: mom. “I feel very blessed to have had a certain amount of success and now I’m reaching the point where I would love to be a mom,” Theron said at the time. “I know I want to raise a big family and it’s just a question of time — I know I’m ready for that phase of my life.” Theron and her longtime boyfriend, Stuart Townsend, split in early 2010 after nearly a decade together. In 2011, she talked to Vogue about the new chapter in her life. “I’ve never been single. This is the first time in my life,” the actress said. “From the time I was 19, I’ve been in relationships, literally gone from one to the other within a month,” she added. Theron will be busy at home and at work this year. First up, she’s set to play the Evil Queen Ravenna in “Snow White and the Huntsman” opposite Kristen Stewart . Then she’s set to star in the long-awaited Ridley Scott thriller “Prometheus.” Share your congratulations with Charlize on our Facebook page!
