Cool mama! Charlize Theron goes casual as she treats son Jackson to an ice cream in Venice

She played the big sis of the Ice Queen in The Huntsman.

And Charlize Theron proved she too knows her way around a frozen treat as she and son Jackson indulged their sweet tooths on Friday.

The 41-year-old went casual as she brought her little boy to Salt and Straw in Venice.

The South African stunner rocked a see-though maroon sweater, showing off her black bra, which she paired with green-grey pants and white sneakers.

Her famous blonde locks were tied back in a loose knot, hiding her gorgeous face behind over-sized shades.

Her five-year-old son meanwhile was sporting cornrows along with a sleeveless shirt and a pair of shorts, an unusual choice for the youngster who usually prefers dresses.

He happily slurped on an ice-cream cone, as his mom opted to tuck into a tub.

 Charlize, who also adopted a little girl named August, recently discussed how she is determined to keep their lives as normal as possible so now never leaves home for more than a week at a time as she wants to give her children as normal an upbringing as possible.

The Fate Of The Furious star refuses to go on long-running tours like many other A-listers due to the effect it could have on her kids.

Blonde beauty Charlize added that when it is impossible, such as during movie shoots, she will drag them along with her and put them in a local school. 

She told OK: 'I try to do press around my kids' schedule, and not (be away) more than six or seven days. There's no need to travel with two small children on a trip like that. When you work on a film that's different. We pack up and find schools and stay together as a family.'

While she may have a staggering estimated net worth of $120 million and can afford to have an army of helpers at her beck and call, she insists her life is similar to other fatherless families.

Speaking about balancing work and parenthood, the South African stunner said: 'I don't think my life is that much different on that level than any other single working mum.'
