10 Things You Didn't Know About Charlize Theron

5. She Was Hypnotised Into Quitting Smoking

Theron has admitted that she was highly addicted to cigarettes and would even go through three packs every day to satisfy the cravings. However, she managed to quit the habit, telling Vogue: "I thought, I don€™t smoke like normal people. I smoke to die," though she refused to fully confirm to them the methods used to cut the cigarettes in case of jinxing it. It has been strongly speculated that a combination of yoga and hypnosis helped her through that time, with The Kerry Gaynor Method playing a key role in quitting her addiction, a method used by fellow actors and actresses including Paul Rudd, Martin Sheen and Aaron Eckhart.
