Charlize shares what her daughters thought about her hairdo for ‘The Old Guard 2'
Hollywood actress Charlize Theron has shared what made her daughters terrified about her. The 49-year-old actress adopted the hairstyle for her part in the new movie 'The Old Guard 2' and it was something that didn't sit well with her daughters.
The actress shared that her adopted daughters — Jackson, 12, and August, 9, were far from impressed with the look, reports 'Female First UK'. Charlize told the chat show Late Night with Seth Meyers, 'I have two girls, and they're very, very... they're mostly very girly. And they think of me as a princess. And they want Mom to look like a princess. But they came back from school. I was in my bathroom and I was getting it cut and it had already been coloured. And I just remember looking over and they both came into the room really excited, and then they just both froze. And they just went... and one started crying'.
The Oscar-winning star shared, 'One literally started bawling their eyes out. And I had to actually sit down with her and say, 'We all get to be who we want to be. And right now, Mom wants to wear a mullet.' I don't tell you what to do with your hair'.
Impersonating one of her children, Charlize added, 'I still don't like it'. As per 'Female First UK', The 'Mad Max: Fury Road' actress revealed last month that her children are unimpressed by her Hollywood career.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Theron quipped, 'My children have zero respect for me. It's just unbelievable, I feel like I'm pretty humble, but every once in a while I'm like, 'There's a Oscar right there'. They are so not impressed with me'. Charlize recalled an incident when her youngest child unflatteringly compared her with Tom Cruise. She explained, 'I was picking up my youngest from dance yesterday and we drove past the new Mission Impossible poster where Tom Cruise is hanging onto some yellow plane, and he just looks really cool'.
She further mentioned, 'My kids were with me when I shot 'Old Guard 2' and I worked on this incredibly intricate sequence where we brought in this amazing helicopter pilot, Fred North, and we were gonna choreograph me fighting helicopters and jumping on this real helicopter and hanging off. Shooting 99 per cent of it on a real helicopter as it's trying to shake me off like a rag doll'.
'We took like two weeks to shoot this sequence and I was like, 'Wow, I just did that, that's really amazing'. And my child yesterday just looked at this poster of Tom Cruise and went, 'It's weird, he looks so much cooler than you did when you were hanging off the helicopter'. I was just like, 'I hung off the helicopter, (can I have) some credit?'', she added.

'Kaanta Laga' star Shefali Jariwala dies at 42
Shefali Jariwala, widely known for her breakout performance in the iconic 2002 music video 'Kaanta Laga', passed away in Mumbai late on Friday night. She was 42. Jariwala was reportedly rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital by her husband after she was found unresponsive. Despite all efforts, doctors declared her dead on arrival. The cause of death has not yet been made public by the family. However, some reports suggest that Jariwala died due to cardiac arrest. Her body has been sent to Cooper Hospital for postmortem examination. Meanwhile, Mumbai Police have launched a Preliminary Investigation and are currently questioning the household cook and domestic help to ascertain the sequence of events leading to her death. A forensic team was also deployed to Jariwala's residence, where they conducted an extensive search of the premises. While no official statement has been issued about the cause or nature of her death, the presence of police and forensic officials suggests that the authorities are treating the case as suspicious. Shefali Jariwala became a household name after appearing in the remixed music video 'Kaanta Laga', which dominated the Indian pop scene in the early 2000s. Her popularity earned her a role in Salman Khan's film 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi', and she went on to star in the 2019 web series 'Baby Come Naa'. Jariwala also made her mark in television, participating in dance reality shows such as 'Boogie Woogie' and 'Nach Baliye', further endearing herself to audiences across India. She also participated in 'Bigg Boss 13' with her friend and ex-boyfriend, Sidharth Shukla, who tragically passed away under similar circumstances in his 40s. They both dated each other over 15 years ago. Jariwala's last X post was also dedicated to Shukla, in which she wrote, "Thinking of you today mere dost Sidharth Shukla." Indo-Asian News Service

Fans celebrate 'Squid Game' finale with Seoul parade
28 June 2025 19:43 Seoul (AFP) Thousands of fans gathered in Seoul on Saturday to celebrate the final "Squid Game" season, ending a global Netflix hit that is seen as a symbol of South Korea's cultural third and final season was released Friday, concluding the series that sees desperate people compete in deadly versions of traditional children's games for a massive cash prize. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk said he had "poured everything" into the series, which launched nearly four years ago. "So while it's sentimental to see it end," he said, "there's also a sense of relief". Fans gathered near Seoul's Gyeongbokgung Palace, led by marchers dressed in the bright pink uniforms worn by the show's mysterious masked agents. They were followed by others carrying oversize toys from one of the games featured in the series, along with the show's flag. Park Sang-gyu, a fan who stayed up all night watching the final season, said the dystopian drama was "ultimately a story about people". The walls of the Seoul Metropolitan Library were lit up with key scenes, including Young-hee -- the giant motion-sensing animatronic doll featured in one of its brutal games. Lee Byung-hun, who played the masked Front Man overseeing the competition, said the show had become "something of a cultural phenomenon". "One that has drawn one of the boldest lines in the history of Korean content," he said. The first two seasons of the series are among Netflix's most-watched shows, and in 2022, Hwang and the show's leading actor, Lee Jung-jae, became the first Asian men to win Emmy Awards. The final season follows its hero Gi-hun, played by Lee, as he returns to the ultra-violent games to dismantle them from within after surviving the first round. Along with filmmaker Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-winning 2019 thriller "Parasite" and K-pop sensation BTS, "Squid Game" is considered one of the most powerful examples of South Korea's rise as a global cultural force.
