Charlize Theron's First Job: Singing for affordable Jewellery

Charlize Theron: Oscar-winning actress, world-class beauty, potty mouth, 'Star Wars' geek and panhandler? Apparently. Within an interview using the Wall Street Journal, Theron -- who gives among the year's best performances in 'Young Adult' -- says when she would be a child becoming an adult in Nigeria, she'd frequently mind towards the town square to sing for rand. "I'd [...] sing for 50 rand," she stated. "I'd sing and so i may go and purchase cheap jewellery. I did not search for something to complete, I simply went and sang." Most likely much better than selling chocolate bars. Theron stars in 'Young Adult,' that is in theaters now. [via WSJ] Best Performances of 2011 11. Uggie, 'The Artistཆ.
