There is hardly a cooler profession than an actress, but Charlize Theron's children apparently sometimes struggle with their mother's job.
According to her own statements, the 47-year-old sometimes has to justify her work to her daughters.
"They think: We know that you work, but we don't know 100 percent what you do," said South African-born Theron in an interview with the "Hollywood Repoter" about the seven- and ten-year-old girls.
According to the Oscar winner, her younger daughter assumes that she will not be able to keep a permanent job.
"Put on a shirt!"
The older daughter, in turn, reprimands her when she sees her advertising posters.
“We're walking through an airport and she's like, 'Oh my god, you're on a fucking wall with no tops, Mom.
This is so embarrassing.
Put a shirt on!‹«
She then replied to her daughter in mock indignation: "We'll use this to pay for your college!" In fact, she was doing something else.
"Deep down, like any mother, I just want to fucking impress them both."
