“Oppenheimer,” a film by Christopher Nolan, dominated the award ceremony. The lead star in the movie, Cillian Murphy, won an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role, while co-star Robert Downey Jr. scooped the Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the event.

Among the winners was Emma Stone, who bagged an award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her stint on “Poor Things,” and Da’Vine Joy Randolph who walked away with Best Actress in a Supporting Role for “The Holdovers.”

While The Academy recognizes talent from showbiz stars, it has also had to cut ties with some renowned figures in the entertainment industry. Hollywood’s elite isn’t immune to controversy, and the Oscars have seen their fair share.

Over the years, misconduct ranging from criminal charges to unauthorized advocacy has led to notable figures being banned from the Academy Awards. The reasons vary widely, from the distribution of pirated material to taking a stand on human rights, showcasing a spectrum of actions and consequences within the film industry. Here are the stars who have not been exempt from being banned by the organization.

Carmine Caridi’s Screeners Scandal

Carmine Caridi, an actor known for his roles in “The Godfather” trilogy, found himself at the center of a piracy scandal. By lending screeners — distributed for Oscar consideration — to a notorious movie pirate, Caridi breached an agreement with the MPAA.

Despite his intentions, this violation led to his expulsion from the Academy in January 2004, marking him as the first member to be ousted for such an offense. Caridi summed up the experience by expressing regret, saying he was doing someone a favor but the man in question betrayed him.

Will Smith’s Oscar Night Outburst

In March 2022, Will Smith slapped and screamed profanities at Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards. The physical assault occurred after Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada-Pinkett Smith, for being bald.

The comedian reportedly went off-script during the ceremony not knowing that the actress has alopecia. Later that evening, the “Bad Boys” star was awarded an Oscar for Best Actor and remained at the event until it was over.

However, that night, he skipped the Academy’s Governor’s Ball and attended the Vanity Fair Oscar party. Despite retaining his Oscar and remaining eligible for future nominations, Smith’s actions violated conduct standards.

In the wake of the much-publicized controversy, the superstar announced his resignation from The Academy of Motion Picture Arts of Sciences. He released a statement, saying, “My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. […] “I betrayed the trust of the Academy.”

The actor and producer later shared another statement concerning what transpired on his Instagram where he admitted that he reacted emotionally. “Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,” Smith stated before issuing a public apology to Rock.

“I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness,” he expressed. Twelve days after a shocking incident, the Academy banned Smith for ten years.

Bill Cosby and Roman Polanski: Expulsions Rooted in Sexual Misconduct

In 2018, Bill Cosby and Roman Polanski were expelled from the Academy amid sexual misconduct allegations and convictions, highlighting the industry’s stand against ethical breaches.

Both men were reportedly accused of sexual misconduct by several people. As a result, Cosby was convicted on three counts of aggravated assault. Amid the news, The Academy issued a statement announcing that the Board of Governors voted to expel the public figures “in accordance with the organization’s Standards of Conduct.”

The Academy emphasized, “The Board continues to encourage ethical standards that require members to uphold the Academy’s values of respect for human dignity.”

Adam Kimmel’s Downfall

Cinematographer Adam Kimmel, once celebrated for his work, faced also expulsion after it was revealed he was a registered sex offender. He was arrested and charged twice for sexual crimes involving underage girls in 2003 and 2010.

For the initial crime, Kimmel, who is also an actor, pleaded guilty to rape in the third degree in February 2004. However, following his conviction, he continued working in show business as his crime was not yet public knowledge.

Despite his impressive career, Kimmel’s past crimes against underage girls came to light, leading to his removal from both the Academy and the American Society of Cinematographers.

Harvey Weinstein: The Fall of a Hollywood Titan

Similarly to his entertainment industry counterparts, Harvey Weinstein also found himself on the wrong side of the law. He was convicted on two counts of sexual assault.

The showbiz titan was handed a 20-year sentence for a first-degree criminal sex act after forcing a production assistant to perform oral sex in 2006. Weinstein was also given a three-year sentence for a third-degree rape.

Weinstein’s sentencing to 23 years in prison for sexual assault marked a significant moment in Hollywood’s #MeToo movement. After his criminal behavior made headlines, the writer shared a statement expressing remorse for what he had done and revealed he would be going to therapy to become a better individual.

Weinstein’s expulsion from the Academy signified a collective industry effort to address sexual predatory behavior. The organization said in a statement that the act of removing Weinstein from the membership was intended “not simply to separate ourselves from someone who does not merit the respect of his colleagues but also to send a message that the era of willful ignorance and shameful complicity in sexually predatory behavior and workplace harassment in our industry is over.”

The once-glorified film producer who has won several awards and has one Oscar Award under his belt, was found guilty of allegedly sexually harassing or abusing a dozen women.

Aside from being a disgraced showbiz powerhouse, the once-prominent figure thanked in numerous Oscar speeches, was admired by many people who personally praised him through the years during award ceremonies.

Richard Gere’s Advocacy Ban

In 1993, Richard Gere used his Oscar presentation speech to advocate for human rights in China, diverging from the script to address a global audience. In his speech, he mentioned that the award show was being watched by 1 billion people worldwide. Knowing this, he wondered whether China was one of the countries that was watching the ceremony that day.

“And the first thought that came to me was, I wondered if Deng Xiaoping is actually watching this right now, with his children and his grandchildren, and with the knowledge that—that—that—what a horrendous, horrendous human rights situation there is in China, not only towards their own people but to Tibet as well,” said Gere.

The film star expressed that he wished Xiaoping could take his troops and the Chinese people away from Tibet so they could allow others to live freely and independently. This act led to a longstanding, though unofficial, ban from the Oscars.

Decades later, the actor and humanitarian reflected on the episode, hinting at a change in perspective. “Apparently, I’ve been rehabilitated. It seems if you stay around long enough, they forget they’ve banned you,” said Gere.

The stories of these celebrities highlight not only personal missteps but also the evolving landscape of accountability in Hollywood. Even some of Hollywood’s brightest stars regardless of their status, are above ethical scrutiny or beyond the possibility of redemption.

The night was filled with the usual mix of anticipation, joy, and surprise as awards were handed out in various categories. The big winner of the night was “Oppenheimer,” which took home the coveted Best Picture award. The film’s cast and crew were recognized for their outstanding work.

In the acting categories, Cillian Murphy won the Best Actor award for his role in “Oppenheimer,” while Emma Stone was named Best Actress for her performance in “Poor Things.” Robert Downey Jr. and Da’Vine Joy Randolph took home the awards for Best Supporting Actor and Actress, respectively, for their roles in “Oppenheimer” and “The Holdovers.”

Certainly, the Oscars are more than just a ceremony for award distribution. They’re also about the spontaneous, unscripted moments that occur amidst the ceremony – the unexpected incidents, the surprises, and yes, the awkward moments. This year, two episodes particularly caught the public’s attention: Al Pacino’s faux pas and Emma Stone’s wardrobe malfunction.

Al Pacino’s Unconventional Presentation

Al Pacino, a seasoned actor and a familiar face at the Oscars, was tasked with presenting the Best Picture award. Veering from the traditional script of listing all the nominees or saying the customary “And the Oscar goes to,” Pacino took a different approach. He simply stated, “Here it comes,” before slowly opening the envelope.

The audience held its breath as he announced, “And my eyes see ‘Oppenheimer,'” leaving the room in a moment of suspense. The subsequent applause was somewhat restrained, as the audience was uncertain if Pacino had just declared the winner of the night’s most prestigious award.

The 83-year-old actor, confirmed, “Yes, yes,” referring to “Oppenheimer,” the film that was the frontrunner for Best Picture and ultimately clinched a night-best seven awards.

As the celebratory music started playing and cheers erupted from the crowd, the camera panned to Christopher Nolan, the film’s director, and Emma Thomas, one of its producers, as they rose and proceeded to the stage.

After the ceremony, Bill Kramer, the chief executive of the academy, expressed his satisfaction with Pacino’s performance, stating, “Everything went beautifully. He was just having fun up there.” Fans also had their say on the matter.

One fan defended Pacino, saying, “He’s the Godfather, he can do whatever he wants.” Another fan humorously suggested, “Al Pacino is so old, he should be running for president.” Yet another fan empathized with Pacino, writing, “Al Pacino is 83 years old with an infant, leave him alone. Y’all knew he was tired, why would you schedule him as the last presenter? [sic]”

Emma Stone’s Wardrobe Malfunction

Besides Al Pacino’s unexpected announcement style, another incident that caught the audience’s attention involved Best Actress winner Emma Stone. Just as she was about to ascend the stage to receive her award for her performance in “Poor Things,” she encountered a wardrobe malfunction. Stone seemed to mouth “My dress is broken” as she made her way to the stage.

The malfunction appeared to be a broken zipper or seam on the back of her custom Louis Vuitton gown. Stone, ever the professional, acknowledged the mishap during her acceptance speech. She speculated that the incident might have occurred during her enthusiastic dance moves while Ryan Gosling performed his song “I’m Just Ken” from the “Barbie” movie.

Backstage, Stone shared that she had been fully immersed in Gosling’s performance, which she found mind-blowing. Thankfully, the wardrobe issue was quickly resolved. “They sewed me back in, which was wonderful,” Stone revealed.

Before the hiccup, the two-time Oscar winner had dazzled the red carpet outside the venue in her custom strapless Vuitton look, featuring a flared peplum waist and shell-like detailing. The actor was dressed by top fashion and celebrity stylist Petra Flannery. Actress, Jennifer Lawrence, with other former winners assisted Stone off-stage after the incident.

A Canine Star’s Cameo

Another unexpected moment of the night was the appearance of a four-legged guest. Messi the Dog, the breakout star of Justine Triet’s French court drama, “Anatomy of a Fall,” had made the journey from France to Los Angeles to be part of the Academy Awards.

Despite initial rumors of his absence, Messi was spotted enjoying the event from a prime seat near the stage during Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue. Messi’s presence quickly stirred excitement among the attendees. Messi became an internet sensation after the Oscars nominees luncheon earlier in February. A video of Ryan Gosling acknowledging Messi went viral after the event.

Gosling was seen waving and complimenting the canine star in the clip. Kimmel, the host for the night, added to the humor by joking about Robert Downey Jr.’s role in “The Shaggy Dog” and suggested Messi for a role if a remake were to happen.

The camera then showed Messi, comfortably seated and enjoying the event. Messi was again seen applauding when Downey took the stage to accept his Best Supporting Actor award.

Ryan Gosling’s Family Affair

Adding to the list of memorable moments at the Oscars was the arrival of Gosling, not with his wife, Eva Mendes, but with his sister, Mandi Gosling. This sparked curiosity among the attendees and viewers alike. Gosling, who has often spoken about his closeness to his sister, once said, “I think like a girl, I think.”

This statement was in response to a question about his childhood, which was spent mostly in the company of his mother and sister after his parents divorced. Gosling was home-schooled for a year due to bullying at school, which was a result of his early TV success. This period of his life meant an even greater female presence around him.

Gosling has often credited his upbringing for shaping his perspective. He said, “I was literally raised by my mother and my sister. And I just feel like I wouldn’t know how to think any other way.” He described his sister as his best friend and hero growing up. His home-schooling experience and his involvement in ballet, which was predominantly attended by girls, further influenced his thinking.

Vanessa Hudgens’ Joyful Announcement

Another highlight of the Oscars 2024 was the radiant Vanessa Hudgens, who used the occasion to announce her pregnancy. The actress, glowing with joy, showcased her baby bump as she walked the red carpet. Dressed in a floor-length black turtleneck dress adorned with silver jewelry, Hudgens was the picture of elegance.

Her hair was styled into a high ponytail, and she posed with her hands over her abdomen, drawing attention to her baby bump. She later graced the Vanity Fair red carpet in a sheer black dress that further highlighted her pregnancy. Hudgens is married to Cole Tucker, a professional baseball player and entrepreneur. The couple tied the knot on December 2, 2023.

Cillian Murphy’s Best Actor Win

In another memorable moment from the night, Cillian Murphy won the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of nuclear physicist J Robert Oppenheimer in the film “Oppenheimer.” This marked his first win in this category. His wife, Yvonne McGuinness, and their two sons were there to support him.

During his acceptance speech, Murphy acknowledged his wife, referring to her as his “partner in life.” The Oscars 2024 was indeed a night filled with unexpected moments and memorable highlights. These incidents, even the most awkward, added an element of unpredictability and entertainment to the event, making it an Oscars to remember.

Keanu Reeves is a Hollywood icon known for his diverse acting career. He has had standout roles in blockbuster films like “The Matrix” and “Speed.” Recently, he surprised fans with his new look.

For years, Reeves has been the epitome of the rugged, effortlessly cool guy. He embodies what many consider to be the ideal male aesthetic. His long, disheveled locks have been a style statement. It is a look strongly associated with him as an actor.

His long locks looked like those of the young FBI agent he played in Kathryn Bigelow’s 1991 movie “Point Break.” The movie was about surfers in California.” After winning MTV’s “Most Desirable Male” award, Reeves became a symbol of admiration. His hairstyle serves as a reference point for many.

In a recent photo at the WME 2024 Oscar Party in Los Angeles, Reeves shocked the internet with his new look. The photo was posted by Rob Lowe’s wife, Sheryl Berkoff, on her Instagram and it caused quite a reaction.

Little did Berkoff know that her innocent snapshot would ignite fury among fans. Some of these fans have long admired Reeves for his rugged yet charming looks.

With the unveiling of his new haircut, fans’ reactions got divided. “What did you do to your hair?” asked one fan, who couldn’t believe the transformation. Despite the shock, many others were quick to praise the change.

Comments poured in, with fans noting, “He looks so much younger and fantastic,” and saying, “Hair cut, Finally.” Some believe this new look has shaved years off his appearance, making him look more vibrant and youthful than ever.

“Why does Keanu look 35,” one fan marveled. No wonder fans were surprised. Reeves’s look was his trademark. For years, he has been celebrated for his distinctive style.

Despite never being crowned “Sexiest Man Alive,” Reeves has long been a contender for the title. He narrowly missed out on the honor in 1994. In a recent TV special, they celebrated 30 years of the prestigious accolade. Former PEOPLE editor Jess Cagle revealed that Reeves would have surely won if things had been different.

As Keanu Reeves enters his 60s, he defies conventional aging standards and remains as stylish as ever. With his latest transformation, he has again proven that true style knows no bounds. He is inspiring others to embrace change and embrace their true selves.

The pair’s relationship flourished, and they tied the knot in a glamorous ceremony in Malta in 2006. Nielsen revealed that she experienced plenty of backlash when she married a younger man, but this didn’t stop her from following her heart.

The actress’ life changed when she met the Italian model. Even when people said it was ridiculous for her to marry a younger man, the two didn’t pay attention to their big age gap. “It just fits perfectly. We’re a good team,” Nielsen explained.

The two have now been married for almost 20 years, and Nielsen noted that the people who were pointing fingers at them and laughing had since divorced. Nielsen says her marriage has lasted because the two make it exciting and accept and respect each other:

“You shouldn’t ever try to change the person you fell in love with to ‘make them better.’ Allow them to be them.”

The “Creed II” star also doesn’t sense the need to uphold a youthful appearance to match her husband’s. Now in her 60s, she feels good but doesn’t know what the 70s will bring. “That’s when gravity really starts pulling everything down,” she added.

Nielsen hit back at these comments when she said that there was no such thing as being too old to be a mom.

Despite her concerns, she will take everything one day at a time, and if she feels awful about how she looks at some point in the future, then she will do something about it. For now, the actress is content with spending time with her happy little family. She and her husband share one kid, Frida, now 5.

Brigitte on Parenting as an Older Mother

Nielsen spent 13 years trying to get pregnant via IVF. Her struggle ended when she and Dessi welcomed Frida on June 22, 2018. The actress said she had a long time to prepare for her daughter, seeing that it took years for IVF to work.

Her doctor had cautioned her to be realistic about her slim chances of conceiving, citing only a two-and-a-half percent probability. When she eventually became pregnant, the experience was incredibly gratifying. Yet, Nielsen was worried because being pregnant at 54 was high risk.

The “Mercenaries” actress soon discovered that she didn’t have to worry as her pregnancy turned out to be the easiest out of all her other pregnancies. The fact that her priorities had shifted and she had a deep desire and choice to be a mom again made all the difference. Nielsen felt so good that she would have remained pregnant for another year. When Frida finally arrived, everything was so easy and brilliant.

The actress, who has been married five times, was already a mom to four adult sons when she welcomed Frida. According to her, her sons, Raoul Meyer Jr., 28, Douglas Meyer, 30, Killian Gastineau, 33, and Julian Winding, 39, said she was far too old to be a mom to Frida. Many others also criticized her for having a child in her mid-50s.

The 60-year-old now argues that her wisdom and age have made her a great parent. She explained that people say grandmothers are the best at parenting, and she feels like she has this mindset and emotion:

“I have the patience and that extra bit of love to give now, and I think it’s because I’m a grandmother’s age.”

As a young mother, Nielsen had to juggle parenting with being single, traveling by plane, and being on movie sets. But now, her daughter comes first. As much as she is older now, she is surprised that she feels less tired raising Frida than she was with her boys.

Nielsen understands that people are a bit too skeptical about women having kids in their older years. She also advises women to be realistic and preserve their eggs at a reasonable age if they also want to have kids late. The actress froze her own eggs at age 40 and noted that she wouldn’t even bother trying at age 42.

Her important message to all women was that if motherhood is something they really want, they should never give up. However, they must be ready to encounter the disappointment of IVF if they choose that path, embrace the waiting, and know that this journey is very expensive.

The mom of five also totally respects that her journey isn’t for everyone, so not all will like it or agree with it. However, she emphasized that it is her life and one that she is happy with. She and Dessi are in love and very joyful. They have a solid relationship, which they appreciate and celebrate.

Nielsen, who lives with her husband in Marbella, Spain and doesn’t drink nor smoke, is happy with the way her life turned out in every way. The actress often shares pictures on her Instagram, spending time with Dessi and their daughter. Nielsen is glad she has the freedom to devote her world to Frida.

John adored his kids. In 2002, when John was shooting “From Paris with Love,” the actor said he couldn’t imagine what life would be like without Jett.

After Jett’s birth on April 13, 1992, his father cradled him for hours while Kelly slept. “When they came to take him away for various tests, I said, ‘No, you can’t see him today. You’ll have to do it another day.’ I went a little nutsy,” he admitted.

Unfortunately, in 2009, John and Kelly lost their son Jett while on vacation in the Bahamas. He was found unconscious by a caretaker in the bathroom, and his family was alerted.

As stated by the family lawyer, Michael Ossi, Jett experienced a seizure at the family’s vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island. Tragically, Jett struck his head in a bathtub and was pronounced dead at Rand Memorial Hospital, as confirmed by police spokeswoman Loretta Mackey.

Jett, who died aged 14, had also been diagnosed with Kawasaki disease while two. John revealed that his son had flu-like symptoms and was very ill before he was diagnosed. Kawasaki disease impacts children between the ages of two and five, leading to inflammation of the arteries. While it is treatable, there is a risk of lasting heart damage associated with the condition.

John and Kelly Preston wanted to have another child after Jett was born. However, due to his health needs, they focused their attention on him, and time got away from the couple. “I thought maybe we would have another child five years later or so,” said Kelly.

In 2000, they welcomed their baby girl Ella. Still, they wanted another baby, and when they finally started trying, Kelly didn’t get pregnant for years, but they kept attempting to conceive even after Jett died. Eventually, Kelly got pregnant naturally at 47, and she admitted they were “just really blessed.”

The risks of having a child later in life didn’t cross Kelly’s mind, but she knew it would be difficult getting a baby into this world in her late 40s. When she conceived after three years of trying, she noted, “I never thought that would be me at all. So, I think we’re just really happy that we’re so fortunate.”

Kelly’s third baby, Benjamin, was born on November 23, 2010, weighing 8 lbs., 3 oz. The family said in a statement that they were excited and happy about their newest addition. Mother and baby were doing well and looked beautiful after the birth. Ella, who was looking forward to being a big sister, even helped her mom clean the house in readiness for her baby brother.

Seven weeks after Benjamin was born, his parents showed him off, calling their son a “miracle” because of how long they tried to have him and the age they had him. “It’s so wonderful to bring another child into the world and to look at things through his eyes. He’s so innocent and so, just so sweet,” divulged Kelly.

The couple chose the name Benjamin for their son because it’s a great boys’ and men’s name. “It’s also a really gentle name,” said Kelly. She also described her son as peaceful, calm, and very present.

John gushed that their newborn had given their house a renewed spirit and purpose. Their home in Ocala, Florida, was filled with happiness, lullabies, readings, and hugs. The parents were also ecstatic when Benjamin smiled for the first time.

In addition to making their home a little more brighter, Kelly also said Benjamin Travolta was helping the family heal after they lost Jett. As much as they still grieved Jett, it was wonderful to welcome a new life, which was a great gift to many people in the world.

“We’ve gotten the most beautiful letters. And the most beautiful notes of happiness,” shared Kelly. It was a relief and joy for the family to share the happiness of Benjamin’s arrival with so many other people.

Kelly raised her son until his preteen years before she passed away. John announced in a post on Instagram on July 13, 2017, that his wife had died after a two-year battle with breast cancer. He thanked the medical centers that treated Kelly, including MD Anderson Cancer Centre, and the friends and loved ones who always supported them.

John added, “Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered. I will be taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you don’t hear from us for a while.” He expressed gratitude for the overwhelming love and support from people as he and his family began the journey of healing.

Kelly’s son Benjamin is now a teen, three years after he lost his mother. Ella Bleu Travolta celebrated his brother on his birthday in November 2023 with a cute picture of Benjamin as a toddler. She wrote, “Happy Birthday, my sweetest Benjamin. It feels like yesterday you were this young, and now you’re 13!! I love you!❤️🎉.”

John also shared pictures and videos of Benjamin on Instagram. The actor couldn’t believe that his son was now a teenager. He captioned the post, “Ben turns 13 today. I love you, my son!”

John Travolta and Kelly’s journey to have their son, now maturing into a fine teenager, was filled with challenges. The excitement upon Benjamin’s birth brought healing to the family. In the face of the heartbreaking loss of his wife, John now takes on the role of raising both his son and daughter.

In a bold fashion statement, Theron donned a glittering black sheer ensemble that turned heads and sparked discussions. The racerback dress with ruffle detail by the waist played a delicate game of reveal and conceal with its see-through material over the actress’ black underwear.

Keeping her ensemble as the main attraction, Theron styled her hair in a neat bun, complementing the daring outfit with a touch of elegance.

As photos of her from the event found their way to social media, reactions from the public were mixed. Some expressed disappointment, with comments like, “You look great but this clothes is awful [sic]” and “Not a good choice.”

Another user highlighted the divide in public opinion on Theron’s wardrobe selection for the night. “Not her best look, but she is still a lovely looking woman and very talented,” the person wrote.

Amidst the critiques, some praised the actress, admiring her unapologetic style. Enthusiastic admirers shared their thoughts, such as, “You look so great on every pics are there any bad ones [sic]?” and “ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.”

Others labeled her the “Hottest” and a “Real doll,” with one fan admiringly stating, “This woman is absolutely stunning gorgeous.” Another comment read, “This woman is simple awesome, great commitment to acting, producing, and social help. I would like to get to know her in person [sic].”

Meanwhile, during the actual Oscar awards night, Theron changed into an elegant silver silk gown which highlighted her fit physique and gorgeous frame.

Having been a constant fixture in the public eye for many years, Theron is no stranger to criticism, especially regarding her fashion choices. Yet, she harbors no regrets about her past style decisions.

In a candid conversation, Theron shared, “I feel like there shouldn’t be any faux pas. I really feel like if you just go by how you feel and how much you love it, then it’s not a faux pas.” This philosophy has led her to embrace her unique sense of style, regardless of public opinion.

Acknowledging that not everyone might appreciate her fashion sensibilities, Theron remarked, “I mean, there are a lot of dresses that I know people didn’t like, but I’m like, I looked at myself in the mirror that night and I was feeling myself.”

Theron’s commitment to her appearance extends beyond the red carpet. She adapts her look for various film roles but maintains a boundary when it comes to physical transformations, stating she would never gain too much weight for a role as “you can’t take it off.”

The actress also shared her thoughts on aging, a process that, for her, is uniquely public due to her career. “My face is changing, and I love that my face is changing and aging,” Theron expressed, addressing the speculation and rumors about potential plastic surgery head-on.

She criticized the double standards surrounding aging for men and women, advocating for a more empathetic approach to individual aging processes.

To stay young, fit, and beautiful, Theron follows a disciplined regimen that includes a calculated balance of activity and diet, favoring plant-based raw foods and developing a recent passion for Pilates. She also emphasizes the importance of exercise to her children, framing it as a commitment to her health and longevity.

Recently, Theron showcased the result of her hard work as she sported a black mesh dress. Charlize Theron set the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” show stage ablaze when she recently appeared as a guest judge. Theron stunned in a chic thigh-length black dress that was mesh in form and accentuated her svelt physique.

The “Monster” star accessorized her lovely look with black ankle boots and leather gloves that stopped midway on her arms. Standing alongside Theron in one of the pictures she posted on her Instagram were fellow judges Michelle Visage and Carson Kressley and show host and mogul RuPaul Charles.

When Theron’s admirers saw the photos, they could not stop gushing over how “pretty” she looked and complimented her outfit choice. One fan swooned, “Stunning and slaying as always Charlize!” Another stated, “Babe you rock!!”

To many, Theron’s beauty and enviable figure may look effortless, but the actress has previously explained the fitness routine and positive mindset she enlists to get there. She disclosed, “I’m always calculating my activity. If I haven’t been moving a lot, I can’t eat a lot. Or maybe it’s a cheat day. But I’m honest with myself.”

Even though Theron always brings her A-game to all her event appearances, she also opened up about what she goes through when she gains weight and needs to be dressed by her stylist for something.

Aging also gets factored into the equation regarding her fitness and career, as she divulged, “The thing that really bums me out is that I make action movies now and if I hurt myself, I take way longer to heal than I did in my 20s…Now, if I don’t work out for three days and I go back to the gym, I can’t walk…”

Although she quipped about the strain her body gets put under when she does hectic physical activity as she gets older, Theron embraces aging

Far from being fussed about what some critics have had to say about her changing physicality in the past, citing plastic surgery rumors, Theron, who dispelled those comments, continues living her best life and delights in the change that comes with aging.
