Charlize Theron has admitted that she suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder.

According to Contactmusic, the 34-year-old revealed that her anxiety-based condition makes her obsess over cleaning and that she cannot function if her house is not tidy.

Theron said: "I have a serious problem, it's a real disease and millions of people actually suffer from this, it's an obsessive compulsive disorder. I have a bit of it. I don't do counting or any of that stuff, but I have a real thing about chaos.

"I am good with chaos, I just don't like it when chaos is hidden. I have a problem with cabinets being messy and people just shoving things in cabinets and closing the door. You can't.

"I really, really lie in bed and [am] not able to sleep because I think, 'I saw something in that cabinet that just shouldn't be there'."
