Movie makeunder! Charlize Theron showed off a fuller figure on set for her new film Tully in Vancouver, B.C.,, on Tuesday, September 27.
The Snow White and the Huntsman star, 41, is playing Marlo, a tired mother of three whose brother gifts her a nanny to help out during a difficult time. In the photos, Theron ditched her usual fashion-forward attire for a casual T-shirt, plaid flannel and loose jeans.
It’s unclear if she put on a few pounds for the role or if she used the magic of makeup and a body suit to make the dramatic transformation. Just a few days earlier, she donned a fake baby bump on set while filming an outdoor scene.
Last week, the real-life mom of two posted a photo of a chair with her character’s name on it from the first day of shooting on Friday, September 23. “DAY 1: TULLY,” she captioned the pic.
This isn’t the first time that Theron has seriously switched up her look for a movie role. The South African stunner gained 30 pounds and wore a prosthetic nose for her role as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in 2003’s Monster, which won her an Oscar. She also shaved off her blonde locks and buzzed her head to portray Imperator Furiosa in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road.
Back in April, the beauty made headlines for saying that it’s hard for “gorgeous” people like her to land gritty roles. “Jobs with real gravitas go to people that are physically right for them and that’s the end of the story,” Theron told British GQ. “How many roles are out there for the gorgeous, f–king, gown-wearing eight-foot model? When meaty roles come through, I’ve been in the room, and pretty people get turned away first.”
