    Charlize Theron's daughter was reduced to tears by her mullet

    The 49-year-old actress adopted the hairstyle for her part in the new movie The Old Guard 2 and admits that her adopted daughters - Jackson, 12, and August, nine, - were far from impressed with the look


    Charlize told the chat show Late Night with Seth Meyers: "I have two girls, and they're very, very... they're mostly very girly. And they think of me as a princess. And they want Mom to look like a princess.

    "But they came back from school. I was in my bathroom and I was getting it cut and it had already been coloured. And I just remember looking over and they both came into the room really excited, and then they just both froze. And they just went... and one started crying."

    The Oscar-winning star continued: "One literally started bawling their eyes out. And I had to actually sit down with her and say, 'We all get to be who we want to be. And right now, Mom wants to wear a mullet.' I don't tell you what to do with your hair."

    Impersonating one of her children, Charlize added: "I still don't like it."

    The Mad Max: Fury Road actress revealed last month that her children are unimpressed by her Hollywood career.

    During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Theron quipped: "My children have zero respect for me.

    "It's just unbelievable, I feel like I'm pretty humble, but every once in a while I'm like, 'There's a f****** Oscar right there.' They are so not impressed with me."

    Charlize recalled an incident when her youngest child unflatteringly compared her with Tom Cruise.

    She explained: "I was picking up my youngest from dance yesterday and we drove past the new Mission Impossible poster where Tom Cruise is hanging onto some yellow plane, and he just looks really cool.

    "My kids were with me when I shot Old Guard 2 and I worked on this incredibly intricate sequence where we brought in this amazing helicopter pilot, Fred North, and we were gonna choreograph me fighting helicopters and jumping on this real helicopter and hanging off. Shooting 99 per cent of it on a real helicopter as it's trying to shake me off like a rag doll.

    "We took like two weeks to shoot this sequence and I was like, 'Wow, I just did that, that's really amazing.' And my child yesterday just looked at this poster of Tom Cruise and went, 'It's weird, he looks so much cooler than you did when you were hanging off the helicopter.'

    "I was just like, 'I hung off the helicopter, [can I have] some credit?'"
