Charlize Theron

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Like vividly.

It's like tough stuff to talk about.

I was like very young.

I saw a man burn inside a car on the side of the road.

God.

And a lot of people pulling over and trying to help and not being able to help.

I also then later, you know, I saw what HIV and AIDS was doing.

I remember people being wheelbarrowed into our house because they knew my mom would take them to a clinic.

You know, you have spoken a lot about the turbulence outside, but also, as you mentioned, inside your family.

And your father was an alcoholic.

As someone myself who's dealt with alcohol abuse in our family, it is an incredibly difficult thing, especially for a child to deal with.

When did you realize that your own home life was maybe different than other friends of yours?

That's a good question.

Pretty young, I would say.

Really young.

I have memories from when I was really young seeing, and it scared me, seeing drunk people, but like really drunk people, like people crawling on the floor, kind of drunk, you know?

Yeah, and it was scary in the beginning.
