Charlize Theron says playing her character in Young Adult “felt so wrong”.
The 36-year-old actress is starring alongside Patrick Wilson in the upcoming comedy-drama. Charlize plays divorced woman Mavis Gary, who returns to her small hometown to win back her happily married high school sweetheart, portrayed by Patrick. Charlize said it was fun playing the wayward character. "It felt so wrong. I felt like I was eating cake three times a day and nobody was telling me I can't," she told Extra. Charlize was initially unsure about the Young Adult script. She admits it was director Jason Reitman’s involvement that persuaded her to join the cast.

One that sees her playing a complete and utter cow. “Being a bitch wasn’t hard for me at all,” she laughs. “Okay, I take it back – that’s the stuff you dream of doing, especially having a director like Jason saying, ‘Yeah, more of that!’ Other choice cuts of Charlizeyness include this one on dealing with her co-star, a dog called Dolce: “Jason wanted an emotional breakdown with the dog at the end, and that didn’t happen. Because that dog wouldn’t give me an emotional breakdown. That dog said, ‘You know what? You’re not going to get anything from me today.’ My face was covered in apple sauce, I had liver pate on my breasts, I was dog treat heaven, and I couldn’t get this dog to focus.” Read the rest here: Empire Online Bringing her latest project to the Big Apple, Charlize Theron stole the show at the New York City screening of "Young Adult" on Friday evening (November 18).
