Hollywood actress Charlize Theron said she worries when people call her a “movie star”.

The 34-year-old was born in South Africa, but moved to New York as a teenager to model and start a career in dancing.

However, her dancing dreams were shattered when her knee “blew out” and she was left to find a career in Hollywood.

Charlize said: “My mother said: ‘You can go back to South Africa and carry on sulking, or go to Hollywood. And you always liked movies’.”

She added to the UK’s Sunday Times Style magazine: “The whole model-turned-actress thing doesn’t have a good track record.

“Today, younger girls are addicted to the fame, but that is not me. I keep all that stuff private.”

Charlize also said that she doesn’t like the term “movie star” as it isn’t her idea of acting.

She said: “When somebody calls me a movie star, I worry a bit. It used to be about the work, but now it means you show up at the Oscars and look good.”
