Charlize Theron on Her Difficult Childhood
/ thedrewbarrymoreshow
Has a start up talk show ever had this many mega stars appear on the show within the first month? This has to be a record lol
Yeap. They're showing support to the amazing Drew! :)
Drew deserves all the love!
I mean, Drew is a very well-respected, well-connected, and loved Hollywood actor, so it's not that surprising to be honest.
The power Of being Drew
Kelly Clarkson show
I think Drew has come full-circle. She’s an amazing woman, mother and actress who doesn’t make excuses for all the bullshit that might have come into her life, or maybe things she’s created for herself. Charlize is a beacon of hope for everyone...depth, and soul was on-point! She’s a pretty amazing lady. Both are, and Drew’s guests have been stellar. Congrats Drew!!!!!
when women empower women like this the world would be winning at life
True
I’m not a feminist, but I love this comment. So true so true
Seriously love how you celebrate your guests. In a real human way.
What an important conversation. As someone who grew up in an abusive household, it really does make a mark on you. BUT, you have the choice to allow it to define you or to inform change in making something positive out of it so that chain doesn't continue. Drew and Charlize exemplify the power of change for good. Love this.
I recently heard that what happens to us while we grow up it's not our fault but it is our responsibility to set us up to a better place.
Vicki Liu It does leave a lasting mark on your whole life. For anyone who’s grown up in after a traumatic childhood and wonders what is wrong with them, why they aren’t happy, why they keep making mistakes, choosing the wrong partners, keep feeling like they are going backwards, it’s not your fault. We didn’t learn the right life skills. If you haven’t already, check out the videos by The Crappy Childhood Fairy. She really helped me to move past some issues and see that there is hope for a better future.
Yes, I have in therapy for years undoing the damage .
Her childrens exact words from the future
I wont date alcoholics grandfather was hated it..neg words nvibe and their spirit is somewhat out of body its spiritual issue dad really.
Sometimes, we forget to realize that when the layers of celebrity get peeled back, these are just two women having a candid conversation about the crap they went through in their younger years and how SO many relate to them. Two RAD, RAD, RAD chicks! Drew and OPTIMISM TV CRUSHING IT!!!
I love seeing women supporting and inspiring each other likes that. Charlize is amazing.
Charlize is raising her son as a GIRL because he told her he wanted to be a girl at THREE years old. At three years old a kid will eat poop off the ground. Liberalism is a MENTAL DISORDER PEOPLE.
I can so relate to the pain of growing up with a toxic, alcoholic parent. It's a real task to learn to love ourselves but also to love others because we were so let down.... I did walk on eggshells, every day, from my earliest years, living in fear. I remember being sure I would stop the chain of abuse and safeguard my children with love and acceptance. I am not a perfect mom but "a good enough mom" and my kiddos are definitely not afraid of me....they know I am there for them, Always- no matter what 💜
💚🧡❤️🙏🏽Thank you for sharing. Me too ✨✌🏽
Ditto❣️I didn’t start breaking the vicious cycle for myself or my husband and our marriage‼️I walked through my therapist door for our 4 daughters❣️❣️Who I love x’s a # that NEVER ENDS❣️I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT Fathom the thought of my girls EVER FEELING THE WAY I FELT❣️❣️‼️So I say walk through that door for ANY REASON even if it’s not for yourself because YOU WILL LOVE YOURSELF on the other side of that door❣️❣️
Thank you for the kind words.💜 With everything that has changed in our daily lives, I hadn't thought about what Charlize highlighted here. The ever- important safety net of safe houses and services for domestic violence and abuse being closed off...🤔 Thinking about how difficult the situation is for some women (and especially children). This pandemic and loss of income just exacerbates an already stressful situation. Surely there is an even greater need at this time for them.... Stay well and be safe 💜.
every interview Drew does makes me teary - she's so genuine and kind
As a South African I love how candidly Charlize speaks about recognising her privilege during Apartheid.
👌👌👌
Not so many acknowledge it. She is truly remarkable. 👌🏾
I love how she dresses her boy as a girl
@@zpt7093 they’re being sarcastic
@@plee6230 you mean she lets her kid dress however they want and doesn't force archaic gender-roles on them?
It's nice to see that when refers to South Africa, she says "we", because it's her country.
M.H. Yah! Meaning she’s from there and claims S. Africa / Africa as her home /country ...
Yeah she's South African born and raised in Benoni. A farm girl.
We language shows how South African she is.
I had toxic parents growing up. It’s hard. So very hard. I’m too afraid to have my own children bc im afraid I will be like them and ruin my kid.
I had toxic, self involved ( in their own misery) parents that emotionally abandoned me. I think that is the main reason I never wanted children.
The other day I talked to a friend who grew up in a very toxic home, and now has a son. I told her I did not want kids, because I grew up with emotionally and verbally abusive parents, and I'm scared that I will somehow mess my kids up. She then told me something eye-opening: The fact that I am even aware of that--that I am self-aware of the effect my unresolved childhood trauma could have on my kids--shows that I am already in a better place than my parents were when they raised me. You seem to have that self-awareness too. I still don't know if I want kids, but hearing her say that helped to lessen some of my fears of having kids. And I hope it lessens some fears you may have as well.
Its like you read my mind.
@@gabbym333 thank you for telling me that. I needed to hear it
I think if you had toxic parents (I had a tough time, my mum drank a lot and would get really mean and sometimes physical.then she got better but overindulged me to make up for when I was younger so I did whatever I wanted in my teens, no rules blah blah anyway it was complicated and our relationship is better than even but still complicated) anyway my point is that I watched this man called sadguru on KZhead and he is so wise, he said this things about parenting that really resonated with me in terms of my upbringing and thinking about bringing a child into this world (I don’t have kids but want to one day) it was that you need to parent yourself before you parent children, and if you do it that way, you will be a good parent. ✨ that’s even more true for people who didn’t have a good upbringing in one way or any other, you have to parent yourself. I started being my own parent in my twenties and am now 33 and can see my parenting has done some good haha, so I’ll keep parenting myself and then I’ll be ready when I hopefully get to be a mother. Not sure if that helps ☺️
I wish I could meet Charlize I am such a supporter of her work in the world
Me too.
me too!
Drew u and Charlize should do a movie together.
I was thinking why was Charlize not in Charlie's angels. They should totally do a movie.
That was delightful. I want women like that around me, as well.
I can be your friend, even though from Denmark, and virtually😊
Marias Have 🤗🤗🤗
Sean Domhnall O Sullivan at last someone that feels the same👍
It was delightful! It was so uplifting to hear them honor each other.
To have two beautiful and strong women come together and relate to each other on the circumstances they went through is inspiring. Lifting one another up and commending the other about how they’ve dealt with these traumatic experiences. This conversation is like a dream come true and just really shows the essence of WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN!! I love both of these bad ass “rad” women 🤙🏽❤️
drew is literally america's bff - i love how she approaches this conversations with gravity and light!
So sad to hear about the domestic violence. Glad Charlize has Together for Her
can we just clap hands for Drew. this interview was spectacular!
I feel like she’s used her beauty card to gain access to male dominated areas of our society, to slip by the radar, and open the doors for the rest of us; she’s really Capitalized on her beauty to make the world a better place for women, we appreciate it! We appreciate you!
Well put!
I was hoping there was more to the interview, glad to see there is!
So far this show is Drew’s Hollywood friends coming on and them telling each other how fabulous they are.
Yes, needs to have some other themes.
that whats called professional courtesy...pretty sure if shes a doctor you gonna see bunch of doctors too as her guest.
It is bc she’s new to the talk show circuit. It can only last for so long
Its refreshing, i think drew is doing brilliantly She’s not conceited like some other talk show hosts... she’s raw and honest Keep doing what you do drew 👍
Gregory M it’s called being nice lmao?
Drew, you need to let your guests finish what they are saying! Please. I love you, but she was in her thoughts and you cut her off at a part where she was opening up. Just a word of advice. You interview, they answer, you listen and then you start again. Just a thought. Love you.
I am SO thankful this 'Recommended for you' popped up; I clicked on it so dang fast! I had NO idea about this show and I just love all the snippets that I have seen thus far. Way to go Drew!!!! Please keep 'em coming, Lady!
Charlize doesn't age! she looks 20 years younger
Stephen Joens what
She’s absolutely gorgeous.
Yes she ages, but she's aging in a very soft and beautiful way!
I love Drew Barrymore. She is a such a sweetheart and has been through so much. I love how both she and Charlize bonded over their difficult childhoods and the similarities. Talking about this personal stuff is important and makes us feel like we are not so alone in our own struggles.
I love being surrounded by women who love and support one another.
Awesome! Incredible interview. A lot of intelligent things said, but still very heartfelt and a lot of positive energy between the two ladies.
Hey Drew, I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying your new talk show. Your conversation with CharIize Theron was so great to watch. Anywho, I could go through the "I loved you in.... " and "51st dates is one of my favourite movies"(it actually is) but it is you as a talk show host that that is my favourite. You have found that niche that that only a few excel at and made it your own. Stephen Colbert summed it up when he said your a natural fit and he is so right. I am looking forward to the next show and wish you continued success. Best wishes and stay safe. J.
Drew is so gorgeous and such a beautiful person all around. Like a fine wine she gets better every year in every way...
I had tough childhood too x God bless Chalize and Drew xx
❤️ God, Charlize look is so adorable, elegant and stunning! pure-nature beauty. 👸🏼💞 I adore her very-very much. 😙💘🥰💫 I'm drowning in her awesome eyes. Perfect woman, divine beauty. 💖💖💋
We love Drew Barrymore!!! I hope your show sticks around for years to come!!!! We need people like you on TV right now!!!
I love her show! The guest stars are so relaxed and opened to Drew and it seems genuine too. Hope this continues on because I like it.
I casually looked at the suggestions, which are often not too exciting, and saw "The Drew Barrymore Show", and Charlize Theron, and got excited, and I wasn't disappointed, what a great interview, so I subscribed to my youth hero's (yes, ET) very own new channel, which I find moving and exciting, because she's Drew Barrymore, an icon of genuine Hollywood stardom.
I love honestly to see that there is love and compassion for others Drew thank you for being the happy in life and letting others know we are not full of hate !!!! We all have a story in life and that we can rise above our past !!! Keep being you because this world needs to see more of people coming together stay strong Drew
Hey Drew, I love when you smile because I see flashes of that adorable little Drew you were in E.T.!
I realize I feel so much like Charlize, I always looks for a peaceful environment every day and I have always been mostly single, not until a few years back I realize it was growing up in a violent household that scared me so bad , that I became my own parent in my adulthood, when her voice changed when she speaks about it, it happens to me too, is hard to speak about it and It feels like I avoid it as much as I can, I know is important to be vulnerable and share, but is very difficult to go back and play the past while we speak.
Thanks for doing this heart to heart interview between two amazing persons.
I just love hearing these two love on each other!
Glad to see Drew with her own show shes always been so down to earth and sweet and she will make a great host. She also listens and has a legit communication with her guests love Charlize also. Both beautiful strong women.
First of all I love Charlize and everything she did and is doing, as an South African I am extremely proud, BUT I hate it when South Africa is always portrayed in a negative way. AA started its first meeting in South Africa on 18 Oct 1946, Politics aside we are a beautiful country with wonderful people of all races
I completely agree. Thank you for saying this.
Maybe there were no meetings where she lived.
Wonderful interview ! Love the discussion of their childhood vs their children's experiences.
Two amazing women 🌻❤👍 They both emanate such a sincere empathetic kind spirit.
Charlize has done some "interesting" roles. Very versatile in her craft. She seems so down-to-earth 🌎 in this video. Such a strong female. 💪👏 👏 👏
really very pretty and brilliant both, miss Theron you are brilliant with a big heart and you miss Barrymore you are also full of life☀️😉🦁
You two are amazing
These two woman are incredible. Strong, beautiful, honest, real and raw.
Love the beautiful raw authentic conversations. 2020 has shown us what love, healing, forgiveness, empathy, co-creation and collaboration can do 💖🙏🙂🌈🌟
Drew has been acting from a very young age and has been through both good and bad times in her life. She has achieved success and is a genuine individual. I wish her the best of luck with her new show.
Drew is the Oprah of our generation!! 🥰 such a beautiful soul..inside and out 😘
I think she is way better tham Oprah, she is more empathetic and sensitive.
Drew and her guests are the most uplifting bunch. 💖
I'm still working remote, and I think I'm relying on Drew, Kelly Clarkson, Jada etc... to be my new girlfriends. During this chaotic time, I feel you "sistas" in womanhood. Bravo to showing, and sharing your truth! There's a kinship in knowing, during crazy times, that I'm not "CRAZY".
"...to not grow up walking on eggshells.." I so felt that. Has always been my number one goal with my own kids 💜
She's my absolute favorite! 💚 Glad to see her on this show! 💚💚💚
What a beautiful exchange between these two wonderful women!
Most of my childhood was really tough for me God bless u ladies keep up the good work and u are entertaining us and inspiring me as well and i feel the same way as u ladies.🙏❤💜
When one beautiful soul speaks to another! I LOVE this!!!!
It’s so important for all of us to hear each other’s truths. I love these two women for making these revelations about their private lives and being living breathing examples of how to move forward in live AND pull others forward too. I didn’t know any of this about Charlize.
She was so great in Fury Road.
She was badass
You should watch The Old Guard! She's just as badass in that
Watch her in Atomic Blonde and in The Old Guard. She's really a badass!
Two great actresses love this. Mrs theron looks ageless
Your the best! Keep it up! I am a huge fan, I appreciate your honesty and grown! You inspire me, your words over the years have helped me have a better outlook on life and myself as a young woman:) I'm glad you got a new show, I look forward to your future episodes.
I too know what a horrible childhood feels like, but like these smart beautiful women have said, the experience grows us into wiser, protective parents that can appreciate the simple beauty of a peaceful home environment-a stable environment. Love you both! I’ve laughed and cried at both actresses movies. Mystic RS MY MYSTICAL CHANNEL
I love these ladies. We do need to have communities of strong women around us. I would love that. I had some people at my last work place who I could turn to for help, strength and advice, but I lost my job due to COVID. It gets very lonely. And my husband is now working from home, so I have no escape from his moodiness. I have worried about domestic violence and child abuse increasing during this time. I hope those women and children find safety. Mine is “just” emotionally abusive. I think I have realized that I need to find a new job fast and get a plan in action to create a better life for myself. I’ve had this vision for years after watching “The Golden Girls” in my youth of a place where women could live together and support each other. Like a complex with separate living quarters so you could have privacy, but could share resources and laughs whenever possible. If I won the lottery, I would buy some land and build something. Oh, and have a small shelter there too to help animals in need. I seem to have cats show up on my properly regularly that don’t have a home. I’ve named the new one Rufus.
Rich message to all of us!! Thank You for sharing !!
Love this interview 🤩
Domestic violence has skyrocketed during the stay at home orders. I appreciate that they acknowledged that. It's heartbreaking
Oh my god oh my god oh my god !!!! this is soooooo goood Drew !!!!!!!
Charlize has never looked better. Love the hair! Love the makeup (would love to know how you do it C). Most of all, love all that divine youness in that beautiful shell. You inspire. And so does Drew
I have known Charlize, as an actress and she is amazing, but knowing she is full deep in a non goverment organization fighting for domestic violence and hiv in africa! Kudos to her! And a whole new level of respect! I think the world, me, you, everyone have to study, learn and fight for what it is right! Always! not in a political way, they always screw things up! but in a human way!
I love this relationship, they just uplift each other's spirits! Charlize, you are the best!! and Drew, keep doing what you do, you are an amazing host!!. You both are empowered women!
I love these two fan Girling over each other. Pure love and respect for one another. So refreshing.
Great video Drew! ❤
It's really true what they say about Drew. There is such a light around her. It shines through. Not sure what it is, a goodness, or positivity, coupled with pureness? Like it's clear she is genuinely good.
you almost spill over with life and love .BOTH of you. feel like sisters and yes we find our lioness through our pain and trauma. baie lekka..baie baie dankie😃.....sending loads of love from the windy city of pe,south africa.....drew, let charlize translate😚
this show makes my heart feel so warm xoxoxo
I love this. But would love it more if one person's interview was in one video.. Just a request! Please... If possible...
This just shows that everyone has normal lifes, with ups and downs. Thank you so much for this😊
I love Drew!!! This show is the best
I love the stories of these two women, and I am so happy that they made the best of their upbringing. I just wanted to add that you became amazing women despite of the trauma, and not because of the trauma. Give yourself the credit you deserve for who you became! And I am so glad you are both striving to raise children who will not have to heal from their trauma, and can just focus on discovering the best version of themselves.
Charlize embodies everything! 😍
I love them both. And see what both had accomolished and still do for everyone. Love them!!
Where is the rest of the interview?
Her interviews are really relevant and important. I'm really becoming more in love with Drew 😍
Thank you for the video.
GUH. I love them both. So happy to hear them speak out so openly and honestly.
Why am I crying watching this!?!? 🥺 the way they talk about each other..wow
Perfect channel.... Subscribing right away
How is Charlize a real person!! I love her so much!!
I can relate when your father is alcoholic and you scars makes you beautiful rather than blind

So much love and respect for you two ladies ❤️
You two lovely young woman ROCK!! 😁♥️👍
I can only imagine the things Drew has been thru
