Charlize Theron blames OCD for turning her into clean-freak
September 16th, 2009 - 1:47 pm ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )Washington, Sept 16 (ANI): Charlize Theron has admitted that obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has turned her into a clean-freak.
“I have a serious problem, it’s a real disease and millions of people actually suffer from this, it’s an obsessive-compulsive disorder. I have a bit of it,” Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.
She added: “I don’t do counting or any of that stuff, but I have a real thing about chaos. I am good with chaos, I just don’t like it when chaos is hidden.
“I have a problem with cabinets being messy and people just shoving things in cabinets and closing the door.
“You can’t. I really, really lie in bed and (am) not able to sleep because I think, ‘I saw something in that cabinet that just shouldn’t be there.’”
Meanwhile, Theron recently walked the red carpet for the premiere of her new film The Burning Plain.
The South African-born beauty, who was named Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive in 2007, wowed at the premiere of her new film in Los Angeles.
The actress rocked a belted bright yellow chiffon dress with embellished shoulders, which she teamed with some fierce gold and yellow gladiator heels and a metallic studded clutch. (ANI)
