Anti-type Theron banks on Monster

Charlize Theron is banking on being virtually unrecognisable in her new film, Monster, to get her away from being typecast as the beautiful girlfriend and catapult her into the A-list of Hollywood actresses who can pick and choose their projects.

“You know when you play Scrabble and you have the chance to take the pieces, shake them up and start all over again from scratch? That’s what I’ve been dying to do with my career,” she tells VLife magazine.
