Charlize Theron joined ArrestedDevelopment as a kind of career insurance 👀 'I do feel like sometimes, as women, we get one shot and I knew that [the 2005 action flick] Aeon Flux was going to be a f–ing flop... that’s why I did Arrested Development.' 😮
Charlize Theron says she joined Arrested Development because she knew one of her upcoming movies was going to flop. Theron played Rita Leeds on the Fox sitcom, appearing in five episodes during Arrested Development season 3. Rita was briefly the love interest of Michael Bluth , and the two were even engaged. When the character is initially introduced, it's believed that she could be a British spy.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In an interview with THR, Theron reflects on her time on Arrested Development. The Oscar-winning actor discusses the fact that she felt intimidated about appearing on a show that was so accomplished. She also talks about her reasons for taking on the role, wanting to do something lighter after so many serious projects, along with knowing the then-upcoming 2005 action movie Aeon Flux would be a "f--king flop.
It was one of the scariest things, to walk onto a set of a show that’s so developed and so brilliant. But I think I needed that, to put myself out there in a different way, because people thought of me as someone who was f–king depressing, like my mother shot my father. [When Theron was 15, her dad came home drunk and threatened her and her mom with a gun, prompting her mother to shoot and kill him in what officials later determined was self-defense.
In the same interview, Theron is equally candid about the flop. She concedes that she's not sure if she could have fixed Aeon Flux, though she knew the adaptation was trouble. She goes on to say she didn't have the experience to ask for more writers and more time to figure things out.
She's a great comedic presence as well, as shown by her chemistry with Seth Rogen in Long Shot. It was one of the great romcoms of the past several years, and there's a case to be made that Arrested Development works as an early sign that Theron could shine in more than just the dark roles that earned her so much recognition. It's a smart move that paid off in spades.
