Charlize Theron is shutting down speculation that she underwent plastic surgery. The actress, who recently turned 48 on August 7, wants people to know that her face remains untouched when it comes to cosmetic procedures, and that she’s simply aging — something she isn’t afraid of, by the way.

In a new interview with Allure, Theron opened up about her perspective on aging and the double standards that exist between aging men and women.

I think we need to be a little bit more empathetic to how we all go through our journey.

This is just what happens.'” While on the topic of physical transformations, Theron recounted dramatic changes she’s undergone for movie roles, noting that, with age, she quickly learned how much more difficult it is to shred the extra weight.
