20 Things You Didn't Know About Charlize Theron
3. She Underwent Hypnotherapy To Quit Smoking
2017's Get Out features a hypnotherapist (Catherine Keener) who claims to have helped her husband quit smoking, and offers the same service to the main character. It's a ruse in the horror film to set up the character for a worse fate than lung cancer, but there has been a lot of research in the past few years about hypnotherapy and its use in kicking bad habits. Documentary filmmaker Albert Nerenberg has used hypnotism extensively in an effort to fight addiction.
Theron also used it as an aid to kick her smoking habit.
