Theron: 'My weaknesses are more interesting'

Charlize Theron has revealed that she has come to terms with the media's misconceptions about her.

The 34-year-old actress has said that her weaknesses are appealing and that she finds solace within each role she chooses to play.

Theron told Vogue: "This package does not describe the centre of my creamy goodness. I cut my hair really short in my 20s, and people were like, 'Hmm, wait a second. Is she gay?'

"But I know how I feel about facing my own weaknesses, and playing into my weaknesses and finding that within my characters. My weaknesses are way more interesting to me than my strengths."
