10 Celebrities Who Started As Models

N7. Charlize Theron

The girlfriend of Sean Penn and the star of up-coming movie, Mad Max, Charlize Theron has always been a natural beauty.

Why do I say natural beauty? I mean that she always had a thing for acting and modeling.

At the age of 16 she won a modeling contract and moved to Italy. Spend an entire year traveling Europe and eventually “landed” in New York to become a ballet dancer.

Her dreams to become a ballerina were soon vanished when she injured her knee. She was 19 back then, and her mom told her she has to make a tough decision, either move on or move back to South Africa.

I guess that’s why she became an actress.
