The Oscar-winning actress was forced to dance to disco music, show off her best modelling poses and flirt with a man dressed as an elephant to prove to Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals troupe she was a worthy Woman of the Year.
Charlize Theron downed "74 shots" of alcohol before accepting her Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year award yesterday (07.02.08).
The Oscar-winning actress was forced to dance to disco music, show off her best modelling poses and flirt with a man dressed as an elephant to prove to Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals troupe she was a worthy Woman of the Year.
She laughed: "The only challenge today was trying to keep the amount of liquor down that they were feeding me. I did about 74 shots!"
Each year the troupe - America's oldest undergraduate drama group - choose a woman and man of the year, who they feel best exhibit role model qualities.
Awards spokesperson Talisa Friedman said: "She's done so many different projects, she has such a range. Charlize is someone we can look up to."
Charlize follows in the footsteps of Scarlett Johansson, Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster, Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, Halle Berry, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, who have all received the gold-coloured pot in honour of their achievements.
Christopher Walken will accept his Man of the Year award in a similar ceremony on February 15.
Pierce Brosnan is 'outrageously' kissable! Legendry actor Pierce Brosnan may not be attached to the 'James Bond' film series anymore, but he is still considered to be one of the most kissable men in Hollywood.
