Usually these are puffy skirts, girly leggings with hearts and dresses in the style of Disney princesses - the baby prefers something pink and shiny. The wardrobe of a dark-skinned boy, adopted by a screen star in infancy, has been shocking the public for more than a year. Most of the mothers of the planet, looking at pictures of Jackson in dresses and bows, are perplexed: what does Charlize think, and who does she raise? The editors of the Daily Mail decided to ask this question to the actress .
In an interview with the British publication, Charlize Theron told why she decided to dress her son as a girl. The actress assures that her child is not a boy, and he realized this quite early. The star believes that she has two daughters - Jackson and his three-year-old sister Augusta. “Yeah, I thought he was a boy too,” Charlize says. - Until at the age of three he looked at me and said: "I'm not a boy!". That's all! I have two beautiful daughters who, like any parent, I want to protect and see as successful.

- When they grow up, they themselves will understand what they want to be. I have no right to decide this for them, - says Theron. - My responsibility as a parent is to love them and provide everything they need so that they grow up and understand who they want to be. And I will do everything in my power to ensure that my children have this right and are protected.
Charlize calls her mother Gerda, whose family life has become a real tragedy, her source of inspiration. The father of the future star was an aggressive alcoholic who beat his wife. When Charlize was 16, Gerda shot her drunken husband with a gun in self-defense in front of her daughter. Following her daughter, she moved from her native Cape Town to the USA and lives in America for an hour.
Charlize Theron adopted a baby named Jackson in 2012 in South Africa. The actress was born and raised in this country, so she deliberately decided to bring up a black baby. And three years later, the star adopted a dark-skinned girl, Augusta.
