Charlize Theron<\/a> has mellowed as she’s aged.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Charlize Theron has become more relaxed<\/p>\n

The 51-year-old actress has recalled being frenetic during her younger years, but Charlize believes she’s become more relaxed and philosophical as her film career has evolved.<\/p>\n

Asked what words of wisdom she’d bestow on her younger self, Charlize told E! News: “Oh, just enjoy it. Chill. It’s OK. It’s not the end of the world. Just take a breather.<\/p>\n

“I was going at 100 miles an hour. I think as a young person, you do. You’re just trying to get it all. Just chill, enjoy it.” <\/p>\n

\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Charlize’s non-profit organisation, the Charlize Theron<\/a> Africa Outreach Project, provides resources surrounding sexual and reproductive health and rights, as well as gender-based violence prevention.<\/p>\n

\nThe actress feels really proud of what the organisation has already achieved.<\/p>\n

\nCharlize – who has adopted kids Jackson, 14, and August, 12 – said: “I’m proud to be a small part of this.<\/p>\n

\n“The thing that we’re really proud of is that we have continued to have long-lasting relationships with organisations that I think have gone through the wringer of being supported for two years and then left behind.<\/p>\n

\n“We’ve stuck with our programme partners for the last 20 years, and we’ve listened and not tried to dictate how they should do their job, and support them on a level where they can do what they know best.”<\/p>\n

\nMeanwhile, Charlize previously explained that adoption was “always [her] first choice”.<\/p>\n

\nThe actress also stressed that she’s never distinguished between “raising an adopted child versus [her] own biological child”.<\/p>\n

\nCharlize told ELLE magazine: “When I first filed [for adoption], my mom showed me a letter I\u2019d written when I was little; I asked if we could go to the orphanage. <\/p>\n

\n“In South Africa, orphanages were everywhere, and I wanted a brother or sister. I was always aware that there are so many children in this world who don\u2019t have families. <\/p>\n

\n“Adoption is a very personal thing \u2014 I know people whom I love dearly who don\u2019t feel that they could raise another child as their own. I respect that. <\/p>\n

\n“But for me \u2014 and I can\u2019t be the only person out there \u2014 I never saw a difference in raising an adopted child versus my own biological child.”<\/p>\n
