  • Charlize Theron Fine After Neck Surgery

    Actress Charlize Theron, who had recently undergone a minor neck surgery, wore a white scarf to cover up a small bandage across her throat at Variety’s fifth annual Power of Women event in Beverly Hills on Friday.

    The 38-year-old actress was injured on the set of 2005’s “Æon Flux” in Berlin, Germany, and suffered a herniated disc in her neck, caused by a fall while filming a series of back handsprings. She wore a neck brace for a month after the accident. “Charlize got injured on a set and broke a vertebrae years ago,” an source told Us Magazine. “It’s been bothering her a lot lately so she had surgery to correct it and they had to go through her neck.”

    The injury occurred when something hit Theron on her head, and reports have said that though the star hasn’t been “feeling good post-surgery,” she’s been working to recover quickly.

    Theron rose to fame in the late 1990’s, following roles in the films “The Devil’s Advocate”, “Mighty Joe Young” and “The Cider House Rules”. She won the Oscar for best actress for her portrayal of serial killer Aileen Wuornos in 2003’s “Monster”. Theron has also displayed her comedic range with roles in “Celebrity” and “Young Adult,” as well as in her portrayal of the character “Rita”, also known as “Mr. F” (Mentally Retarded Female), on “Arrested Development.”

    Here’s Theron’s guest spot on Zach Galifianakis’ “Between Two Ferns.”

    The actress is set to star in the upcoming Mad Max reboot, “Mad Max: Fury Road”, in 2014.

    38-year-old, Charlize Theron has been recovering from neck surgery. Apparently, Theron had a small procedure to correct a vertebrae that she injured several years ago, while on the set of her 2005 movie, “Aeon Flux”

    “Charlize got injured on a set and broke a vertebrae years ago,” an source told Us. “It’s been bothering her a lot lately so she had surgery to correct it and they had to go through her neck.”

    Theron could be seen at the Variety’s 5th Annual Power Of Women event at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on Friday. She was wearing a cream Stella McCartney dress that had a neck line high enough to cover the bandage and small incision on her neck.

    “She’s got a small Band-Aid on her neck,” another source said. “She kept fussing with the white scarf. She was wearing to cover it, but it was poking out and visible.”

    Theron was being honored at the event for her work to end HIV/AIDS. She gave an emotional speech and said that she wanted to give the award to her mother who also worked for the cause.

    “It’s impossible for me to accept this award because there’s someone here so much more powerful than me,” Theron said. “I hope you’re OK with me giving this award to my mom,” she continued. “That bitch was building roads in Africa when no woman was doing that. I thank you, Mom, for teaching me to by your actions how to be a strong woman, and for turning me into a p—y every time I talk to you.”

    Theron was honored along with Amy Poehler, Nicole Kidman, Elizabeth Banks, Jennifer Hudson, and Kerry Washington.
