Hollywood’s Royal Chameleon
Charlize Theron stars as the Evil Queen in Snow White
and the Huntsman: Extended Edition available on Blu-Ray, DVD & Digital Copy
September 11, 2012
Charlize Theron is known for being one of the most
beautiful faces in film, but this beauty queen continues to stun us with her
amazing physical transformations in her roles. Continue reading to take a look
behind the scenes of the actresses’ most famous transformations including Monster,
Aeon Flux and the stunningly Evil Queen in Snow
White and the Huntsman.
In this spectacular
action-adventure, Kristen Stewart (Twilight)
is Snow White, the only woman in the land fairer than the evil queen Ravenna
(Oscar® winner Charlize Theron). Ravenna wants nothing more
than to destroy her young rival, but she doesn’t know that Show White has been
training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) the queen
dispatched to kill her. Together with a handsome prince (Sam Claflin) enchanted
by Snow White’s beauty and power, they assemble an armed force to recapture the
kingdom. This breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale from Joe Roth, the
producer of Alice in Wonderland and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art
visualist Rupert Sanders is, in the words of Shawn Edwards, Fox-TV, “A film
that soars with creativity, stylistic genius and amazing battle scenes.”
Monster
In the 2003 dark drama Monster,
the South African beauty was unrecognizable in her role as serial killer/
former prostitute Aileen Wuornos. She gained 30 pounds and had an incredible
cosmetic make-under by renowned make-up artist Toni G (Pirates of the Caribbean, Dawn of the Dead, Planet of the Apes) who
used splotchy makeup and prosthetic teeth that resembled the real-life figure.
Theron’s intense commitment to this role paid off, earning her both an Academy
Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.
Æon Flux
Theron amped up her appearance to play a sexy assassin in
the 2005 film Æon Flux, based on the
TV cartoon franchise of the same name. She trained for 4 months prior to
filming using her dance background, Cirque de Soleil gymnastics, and various
forms of martial arts. Her impeccable physique and athleticism was topped off
with a sleek, dark haircut and tight leather bodysuits. No one can doubt her
ass-kicking skills looking as hot and dangerous as she did for this role.
North Country
In 2006 Theron received her second Best Actress Oscar
Nomination for her role as a Minnesota miner in the film North Country. In order to downplay her
stunning looks, she was given a mullet haircut and appeared to be wearing very
little make-up. Additionally her wardrobe in the film was authentic to the
character’s occupation, consisting mainly of oversized jackets, denim
jumpsuits, bandana head wraps, and metal helmets. Her humble appearance and
strong performance embody the middle-America struggle in a memorable way.
Snow White and the Huntsman
In her recent role as the Evil Queen, Theron’s beauty
is as fierce as ever. Her golden hair is wrapped in braids under a striking, sharp
crown that signifies her wicked character. Theron fully embraces royalty and madness
in each gown she wears, all of which were intricately designed by Hollywood
costume designer Colleen Atwood. Theron’s interest in playing the queen is not
solely based on having an amazing wardrobe, but proves to be another
opportunity for her to dive into the mind of a complex character. This is one
of Theron’s most edgy and theatrical roles to date, as the audience watches her
power and sanity unravel.
