  • Charlize Theron's appearance at a Paris film premiere sparked online debate about her noticeably thin physique.
  • Some social media users speculated she used the weight-loss drug Ozempic, while others defended her, citing healthy habits and exercise.
  • Theron has previously discussed her commitment to a healthy lifestyle, including a diet rich in juices and greens, regular exercise like Pilates, and mindful eating.

Charlize Theron has ignited a discussion on social media following her appearance at the Paris premiere of "La Odisea." The 50-year-old actress wore a floral Christian Dior dress that drew significant attention due to her visibly slender frame, leading to a flurry of online comments.

Images from the event quickly circulated on X, formerly Twitter, where some users, without providing evidence, suggested Theron might have used Ozempic, a medication that has become a frequent subject of speculation regarding celebrity physical changes. Comments such as "Ozempic has another villain" and "seems to have fallen down the Ozempic rabbit hole" proliferated, with others deeming her appearance "unrecognizable."

In contrast to the criticism, many users defended the actress, pointing out the lack of evidence to support the Ozempic claims. "The internet really sees a thinner celebrity and immediately screams 'Ozempic,'" one user wrote. Supporters suggested her physique could be the result of consistent exercise and a healthy diet.

Theron herself has spoken about her dedication to a healthy lifestyle over the years. In 2017, she told Red magazine that she prioritizes juices, kale, and green salads daily, along with adequate sleep and avoiding alcohol when aiming to feel her best. She has also emphasized balance, sharing with Elle UK in 2007 that she prefers occasional indulgences over strict restriction. According to Harper's Bazaar, the Oscar winner revealed in 2018 her love for Pilates and a diet largely based on raw plant-based foods, adjusting her intake based on daily physical activity.

As the debate over her appearance continues online, Theron is preparing for the release of "La Odisea," a highly anticipated film by Christopher Nolan in which she portrays the sea goddess Calypso. The movie is set to hit theaters on July 17.
