Talking about some of Hollywood’s most intense superstars, you will find quite a few names that have a more profound impact on the audience when spoken about, may it be because of their nature or their work ethic. South African actress Charlize Theron is recognized for both of these traits as she has made an image in people’s minds of being a certified bada*s.

And whether it be on-screen or off-screen, she’s proven time and time again just how stoic she can be. Therefore, many think that there is nothing that can ruin her mood ever, but they might be wrong. In the past, the star talked about this experience she had with her co-star Will Smith which has forever left a bad impression on her.

Known for putting herself in a world of trouble for almost every film that she’s a part of, Charlize Theron has made herself known to be tough and unmoving in almost any situation that she’s in, whether it be prepping up for a film or filming it. But still, she’s just a human, and just like an average person, she too has gone through things she absolutely hated. One of these situations emerged when she played golf with her co-star Will Smith.
In a past interview, the Fast and Furious star was talking about her then-upcoming film The Legend of Bagger Vance where she co-starred with the Academy Award winner. Here, she also revealed her experience playing golf with Smith, where during this charity event, he was playing very competitively, especially when their team started to lose. This drove him to completely disregard the women’s team that Theron was a part of, and solely focus the game on himself and a bunch of others, which the actress considered to be very disrespectful and crude. She said:
“Everything went well, until like the tenth hole, and all of a sudden everyone forgot about the ladies team, and it started really, really, just making me so mad. And I caught (his eyes), but we were mic’d, so I couldn’t tell them right there ‘What the hell is wrong with you? idiot’”
Although she did have such a bad experience, Smith later apologized, saying that dehydration was the reason he acted in such a manner.

Set during the time of The Great Depression, the film follows the story of Rannulph Junuh, who was once a professional golfer, but due to the events of World War I, forgot the art of swinging his club. One day, to save her failing family’s golf course, Adele Invergordon hosts a high-stakes tournament, to which Junuh is also invited. Having no confidence in himself, he enters it with the hopes of losing, until he meets a caddie that shows him the beauty of a swing once more.
