When it comes to her children, Charlize Theron’s love is fast and furious.
But this isn’t to say motherhood doesn’t come without its challenges, as Charlize explained of her daughters Jackson, 11, and August, 9.
“Oh, my God, they’re so embarrassed by me constantly,” she told E! News’ Francesca Amiker at her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) 2024 Block Party July 13. “They’re kids, they’re girls, you know? I have a preteen and I feel like I have a nine year old who thinks she’s a 13 year old. It’s a lot of girl in our house.”
The 48-year-old continued, “I’m just trying to keep my head above water, because they are smart and they are witty and they are firecrackers, but they do not go, ‘Oh my god, Mom, you’re so amazing.’ They’re like, ‘Excuse me, I need. I want.’”
Because, as Charlize noted, they’re “normal kids,” quipping, “They’re a–holes, but they’re really nice. Other parents know what I’m talking about.” (For more with Charlize, tune into E! News tonight, July 15 at 11 p.m.)
