The gorgeous ex-model Charlize Theron has recently walked the red carpet of Cannes with Britt Ekland, who she plays in a new Peter Sellers biopic. Eckland, Sellers second wife, had been reported by British press to disapprove of her stormy relationship with Sellers (played by Geoffrey Rush) being portrayed by Theron, before the actress invited her to take part in the Cannes ceremony.
Both Eckland and Theron as her alter-ego, appeared before the cameras at the celebrity screening of "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers," looking happy and excited. The Oscar winning actress confessed to Reuters Television of being “extremely nervous” about Eckland seing the film for the first time. "She's been lovely to all of us," a relieved Theron reported the next morning. Watching the film reported Theron, "was very emotional for her, but she had great praise for all of us and said we got the story right."
Charlize Theron will grace the cover of the June issue of In Stylemagazine, which hits newsstands on Friday, May 28, 2004, to celebrate its 10th Anniversary.
