The cast of Hancock appeared on MTV’s TRL on Tuesday afternoon (June 24th). Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman all appeared on the show, this is one of the first appearances that all three have done together.
They joked around backstage and while the show was broadcasting. Charlize also appeared on NBC’s the Today show before heading over to the MTV studios in New York City.
Hancock is released July 2, Charlize recently sat down The Dish Rag, here are some snipits from the interview:
On what superpowers she would like in real life:
I don’t know. Somebody told me that Will [Smith] wanted to read minds. That would probably be my least favorite one to have. That would scare me. It would be like, “Wow, they really think that?” I think it would be fun to see people naked. That could be scary as well, but I think that would have a sense of humor about it.
On if there is any one person she would like to see naked:
No, I just think it would be fun to walk down the street and see people nude and them not knowing. I guess that’s the element that makes a difference, them just not knowing. Because when we’re nude we tend to suck it in and just to see some dude taking the garbage out [laughs]. I don’t know.
On being voted Esquire magazine’s Sexiest Woman alive last year:
I think everything in life has to be taken with giant heaps of salt. I think you have to –- especially in this industry. Look, it’s a great compliment. It’s really sweet, but there is no such thing as “the sexiest woman alive.” So it’s a compliment that they thought that, but I don’t walk around aiming to live up by any means to some standard that you just couldn’t.
On how she stays in shape:
There’s this pill that you take [laughs]. It’s not a mystery. You have to be healthy, and you have to work out and eat good and you have to drink water. I don’t necessarily do that every day, and I was a smoker for many years, and I’m sure all of those things will one day show on my face, and I hope I can welcome them gracefully because, boy, it’s been a great life.
On picking serious films or fun films:
No, and I think Will might be the person who can actually change this (perception) in our industry. We have been so compartmentalized as actors. We go in and do the really small independent films that are critically acclaimed and award-winning, and then I think people think you go and sell out and you do this big movie because you need to get a big paycheck and the material is not so great, and it’s evident you’re doing it for the money.
