The Oscar-winning actress had to lose a lot of weight for a movie role and felt uncomfortable as she prefers being curvier.

Charlize – who also gained over 28lbs to plays murderer Aileen Wuornos in 2003 movie Monster – said: “I played a woman with cancer in Sweet November. I went down to a size 6 and I felt completely uncomfortable. I remember being cold and wrapping my arms around my body and feeling ribs and bone. I felt totally unsexy.”

The blonde beauty – who has been dating Irish actor Stuart Townsend for around six years – also took a swipe at Hollywood stars who put partying ahead of their careers.

She added to Britain’s Elle magazine: ‘I don’t buy in to all that. Actually, it upsets me the way a lot of so-called celebrities just completely exploit themselves. I don’t get it.

“There’s a decorum that I believe just doesn’t exist in Hollywood any more. My whole life is about trying to move away from bad things and be happy.”
