The Sexiest Woman Alive 2007 for Esquire Magazine is Charlize Theron. Theron was born in Benoni, Gauteng, South Africa. Her father, Charles Theron, was a construction company owner of French Huguenot descent. Her mother, Gerda, is of German descent and took over her husband’s business after his death. Theron’s first language is Afrikaans. She is also fluent in English and speaks some Xhosa. In the United States, both in her films and while being interviewed, etc., Theron speaks with a typical American accent and style of speech, leading most people to assume she is American. “Theron” is a French surname pronounced in Afrikaans as “Tronn”, although she has said that she prefers the pronunciation “Thrown.”The pronunciation commonly used in the United States involves two syllables, with stress on the first.
Here’s some more tidbits: She drinks Gibsons, could be mistaken for one of the Judd sisters, and makes a mean lamb chop. She’s got a weakness for games. She’s a huge animal lover. When we were on holiday in Mexico once, she stopped in the middle of nowhere to buy hot dogs. She shares coveted real estate with Britney Spears. Charlize shares a birthday with a major league shortstop. She also is zero degrees from Kevin Bacon. She shares a connection with a skyscraper and a battleship and has worked with primates, arthropods, and Mark Wahlberg.
