Charlize Theron has left fans amused and bewildered after revealing her unconventional secret to maintaining a youthful glow at 50. Appearing on the Will and Woody podcast, the Oscar-winning actress was asked how she still looks so incredible. Her response, delivered with her signature dry humour, was: 'Red light... that and the blood of a 19-year-old.'
The comment sent hosts and fans into fits of laughter, with Theron doubling down on the joke. She explained that she lives in a red light mask at all times, walking off set to put one on. Despite the tongue-in-cheek reference to blood, her genuine endorsement of red light therapy became the real talking point.
'I think it's the only thing I've done in the last two years that, more than any lotion or cream or anything like that, where I've been like, wow, I can actually see a difference,' she shared. The playful exchange continued as she joked about stealing blood from a 19-year-old and getting better genes.
Theron also credits Pilates for her toned physique, telling Harper's Bazaar Australia that it has 'changed her body.' She follows a plant-based diet, avoids alcohol, and eats six small meals a day, including plenty of leafy greens. She admitted to indulging occasionally but only has a quarter of a burger.
