Actor Charlize Theron has hit back at rumours she’s gone under the knife.
Despite being one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, the Atomic Blonde star has faced constant rumours about her undergoing plastic surgery.
Needless to say, fans have been impressed with how the A-lister has handled the intense speculation after a recent interview.
In fact, the Snow White and the Huntsman actor revealed that she thinks people need to be more empathic towards women as they age.

Rather candidly, the 48-year-old even admitted that her face had ‘changed’ as she's gotten older.
“My face is changing,” she told Allure, during a recent interview with the magazine.
She added: “And I love that my face is changing and ageing.
"People think I had a facelift. They’re like, ‘What did she do to her face?’

"I’m like, ‘B****, I’m just ageing! It doesn’t mean I got bad plastic surgery. This is just what happens.’”
Theron also hit back at the double standards surrounding ageing, with society often being less accepting of women’s changing bodies and faces as they mature.
“I’ve always had issues with the fact that men kind of age like fine wines and women like cut flowers,” she said, having clapped back at the rumours surrounding her own body.
“I think we need to be a little bit more empathetic to how we all go through our journey.”

“And, how's that any of you guys' business? I mean, aren't there enough problems in this world to worry about than her face? What business of yours if she's had a facelift or not?” tweeted another user.
Meanwhile, a third praised the Theron for being honest about how our bodies and faces change as we age.
