From strung-out serial killer to six-shootin' cowgirl, Charlize Theron's chameleon-like performances will take you by surprise.

MONSTER

When Theron showed up on set, her transformation was so convincing that no one knew it was her.  That would’ve been a good time to shop at WalMart unnoticed.  

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN

With her spikey crown and icy cold stare, Charlize played the Evil Queen to chilling perfection.

PROMETHEUS

With her slicked-back hair , Theron plays a futuristic baddie.  And, because it’s the future, people fly around on spaceships and have really mod furniture. 

Mighty Joe Young

A blonde-bobbed Theron helps bring a Gorilla to Hollywood, where he goes ape in this Disney remake. 

REINDEER GAMES

This 2000 thriller may have received poor reviews, but Theron’s auburn locks were a winner.

THE YARDS

Theron’s short, dark ‘do was anything but a crime in this 2000 American drama featuring Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix.

AEON FLUX

As a warrior for an underground rebel organization, the black leather-clad Theron is one bad ass chick in this movie based on the MTV animated series.

THE ASTRONAUT’S WIFE

Theron believes she may have been impregnated by an alien.  The movie bears a resemblance to Rosemary’s Baby, and not just because of her Mia Farrow cut.

NORTH COUNTRY

Theron gets down and dirty – literally – for this film where she stars as female mine worker.

HEAD IN THE CLOUDS

In this sweeping 1930s romantic drama, Theron is a whip-smart sexy bisexual, playing against her then-boyfriend, Stuart Townsend.

THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE

Theron must’ve sold her soul to the devil to be seen with this brown curly perm.  Just kidding!

HANCOCK

In this Will Smith film, Theron plays a suburban soccer mom.  Who, like most moms, has superpowers.  

2 DAYS IN THE VALLEY

With her Marilyn Monroe blonde bombshell looks, this proved to be a breakout role for Theron.

IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH

The stylists did their best to make Theron, as a police detective, look plain, putting her dark hair in a severe bun.  Nah, still hot.

THE ROAD

In this post-apocalyptic film, Theron plays a woman who leaves her husband and son, walking off into the cold.  Good thing she remembered that knit cap.

WAKING UP IN RENO

Theron plays a trashy chick with big, blonde mall hair.  And in case you didn't get that she's trashy, her name is Candy.
