Actress Charlize Theron has credited her mother for her Hollywood career, insisting that she motivated her and bought her a one-way air ticket to the US.
In a recent interview with T magazine, the Oscar winning actress talked about everything from moving to Hollywood from her native South Africa to her weight and fame.
"My mom came over from South Africa and said, 'Either you figure out what to do next or you come home, because you can sulk in South Africa,'" the New York Post quoted her, as saying.
"She reminded me that I loved movies. She said, 'They make them in Hollywood,' and she bought me a one-way plane ticket. When I arrived in California, I got in the cab and said, 'Take me to Hollywood,'" she added.
The 'Monster' star also revealed why she didn't opt for losing weight and closed her chances of becoming a supermodel.
"I had the capability to be a bigger model than I was. They were always telling me, 'Lose five pounds and you'll be a supermodel.' But I saw modeling like waitressing - it was a way to pay for another career, and that career was dance," she said.
