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.”
Understandably, fans have been impressed by how the 48-year-old has handled the constant discussions about her appearance.
Taking to Twitter, many fans praised the Monster actor for her response to the rumour, with one even calling her an icon.
They wrote: “Does she even realise she is an absolute icon in all stages of her life?”
Others hit back at those speculating about the A-lister's face, with another pointedly arguing that it was no one else’s business.
“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.
“That's really cool, she is correct the face does become a little altered because of ageing,” the user added.
We completely agree with Theron, the world could do with people being a little empathetic.
After all, kindness never goes out of style.
