Actress Charlize Theron has clarified that her previous comments that 'pretty people get turned away first' for meaty roles in movies was misquoted.
"It was such an incredible misquote. I'm somewhat shocked by how I got so misquoted," she told Access Hollywood about her earlier interview.
"What I was really trying to say was people always ask me why I play so many characters that are so deconstructed, and my point with that was that how many characters really are there out there for a woman wearing a gown? You have to kind of play real people," she adds.
The actress said her remarks were taken out of context.
"Context is everything. And if somebody doesn't really get that or it doesn't translate, people can really kind of read stuff so wrongly," she said.
