Although 46-year-old Charlize Theron has had her own Instagram account for some time, she rarely shares personal photos. Her posts usually feature scenes from film sets or promotional campaigns.
However, on January 27, the Oscar-winning actress made an exception to mark a special occasion—her mother, Gerda’s birthday. In celebration, Charlize shared a series of family photos, including one that caught the attention of her followers and the wider online community.
The standout photo featured Charlize’s mother alongside her two children, Jackson and Augusta, a rare glimpse into the actress’s private life. Pictures of her children are scarcely seen on her social media, making this post particularly special.
In the caption, Charlize paid tribute to her mother, writing, “Today is my mom’s birthday. I wanted to share these photos with all of you because everyone who knows her personally knows what it means to bask in her sun. She represents real life. She laughs louder than anyone I’ve ever met. She’s also an amazing tennis player, golfer, traveler, and a fantastic conversationalist.”
Fans flooded the post with congratulations and compliments, noting the striking resemblance between Charlize and her mother. Many remarked that it’s clear where the actress inherited her beauty.
