Charlize Theron once got a call to be part of Wonder Woman and she was more than happy to learn just how it would work.

“This is a great example of how Hollywood like slaps you in the face when you start aging.”

Theron asked that she is very unfamiliar with Wonder Woman’s character so there is a lot she would need to be filled in about. However, she was corrected very quickly. The casting director confirmed that the role was not for the lead character but instead for her mom. The role of Hippolyta was initially offered to the actress, who is only nine years older than Gadot. The shock that Theron experienced was truly an eye-opener for her. That was the moment she realized that Hollywood saw her as an older actress now.

Gadot was only 32 when she was offered the role and Theron happened to be 41 years old.

However, there was a chance Gadot was also going to be part of the movie because of her “Barbie energy.”
