'It's nice to be in love with your couch and make cheesy sandwiches': Charlize Theron raves about turning 40 and why she's happy NOT to be in her 20s
Charlize Theron is known as one of the fairest of them all in Hollywood, but this stunner appears to have no fear of aging.
The Snow White And The Huntsman star turns the big 4-0 in less than three weeks but instead of fretting over wrinkles and facial lines like the Evil Queen she's staying focused on the positives.
For mom-of-one Charlize, that means lounging on the sofa and enjoying 'cheesy sandwiches' whenever she pleases, as she revealed during an E! Online interview.

'40's rock': Charlize Theron described the joys of turning the big 4-0 while promoting her latest flick Dark Places on Monday
Charlize, who is promoting her newest flick Dark Places, was flawlessly beautiful in the clip with her sleek blonde hair and naturally applied make-up.
And the South African-born actress was super relaxed, one might add, as her milestone August 7 birthday approaches.
When asked how she plans to spend the big day, Charlize told E! Online's Marc Malkin: 'I don't know. I literally wrapped a movie two days ago.
Milestone: The ever-youthful actress - who turns 40 on August 7 - said that she's not concerned about aging while chatting with E! Online alongside Dark Places writer Gillian Flynn
What you going to do: Charlize confessed that she has no birthday plans as of yet, adding: 'I'll celebrate a month later if I'm in the right place and the right restaurant, "You guys! It's my birthday!"'
'I've never been a big birthday person. I'll celebrate a month later if I'm in the right place and the right restaurant, "You guys! It's my birthday!"
'40's rock. People are so concerned for me. It's okay. It's such a weird thing that we put so much - I think especially for women.
'I'm so happy to be in my 40s and to not be in my 20s, like worried about whether I fit into my skinny jeans and whether I'll be able to get in that club.
Definite perks: The mom-of-one indicated she's at peace with turning 40, saying, 'It's so nice to just be in love with your couch and make cheesy sandwiches and just enjoy life. It's been great'

'It's so nice to just be in love with your couch and make cheesy sandwiches and just enjoy life. It's been great.'
Charlize, who split from actor Sean Penn last month, has been shooting scenes for her latest project, the fairy tale-inspired movie The Huntsman, in the scenic English countryside of Somerset.
On Thursday, the gorgeous star was seen in a long blonde wig and elaborate costume as the wicked queen Ravenna filming scenes with co-star Emily Blunt.
Promo trail: The actress has been busy promoting Dark Places - available now on DirectTV and out in US theatres on August 7 - and looked glam in a black mini-dress on Monday's Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The movie is a prequel to 2012's Snow White And The Huntsman and once again casts Chris Hemsworth in the titular role of The Huntsman.
Neither the original's star Kristen Stewart nor director Rupert Saunders are involved in the latest project.
Controversy trailed the two during the first production after they were caught in a tryst - Kristen was dating Robert Pattinson at the time and filmmaker Robert was then wed to Liberty Ross.
Charlize, meanwhile, is taking a break from filming The Huntsman to promote Dark Places in Los Angeles.
On Monday, the actress showed she's a multitasking mother by bringing her three-year-old adopted son Jackson to a taping on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
