Charlize Theron clarifies her previous statement in British GQ that "pretty people get turned away first" when it comes to "meaty roles" in movies. "It was such an incredible misquote. I'm somewhat shocked by how I got so misquoted," she explains to Access Hollywood.

"What I was really trying to say was people always ask me why I play so many characters that are so deconstructed, and my point with that was that how many characters really are there out there for a woman wearing a gown? You have to kind of play real people," she adds.

The Evil Queen of "The Huntsman: Winter's War" claims her remarks were taken out of context. "Context is everything," the blonde stunner says. "And if somebody doesn't really get that or it doesn't translate, people can really kind of read stuff so wrongly."
