Back in 2018, Theron chatted with InStyle about aging and how she has an "ever-changing" approach to growing older.
"There are days when I really love my face and have no issues with the wrinkles around my mouth or eyes," she shared. "Then there are days we tell ourselves, 'Oh my god, maybe it's time to get a face-lift.' And that's OK."

"It doesn't mean I don't want to age," Theron explained. "The more we can understand that it's normal and part of the process, the more we'll take the pressure off. Be kind to yourself. Take every day for what it is, and that's it."

Her perception of beauty, Theron said, was shaped by her mother, Gerda. "My mom played a huge part because she exuded so much of what I believe beauty really is," she told the outlet. "But for me it wasn't an aha moment."
"I was lucky at a young age to start traveling and seeing what people in other places did, what they ate, and what they smelled and looked like," the Monster star continued. "I grew up in South Africa, a country that has more cultures than any other place in the world. All of that gave me an awareness."
