Charlize Theron was "spanked" and "whipped" so hard by her by her mother as a child she got welts on her thighs. The Oscar-winning actress admits she was severely disciplined and often
physically punished for bad behaviour while she was growing up.

She said: "God, I was spanked. I was more than spanked - I was whipped. Definitely. With whatever was around."

The Monster actress admits she was once hit so hard with a metal coat hanger - for spilling soup on her school uniform - she was left with sores on her thighs.

The beautiful blonde said in an interview with Britain's Premiere magazine: "I went to school one time with Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse engraved in welts on my thighs from a hanger that my mom grabbed that had all these little Disney cartoons cut out in it.


"I remember it so vividly, I came home from school, and she said, 'Change your uniform before you have lunch.' And I was like, 'Oh, I'll just take a quick bite of this tomato soup.' And it drizzled all over.

"She was busy ironing, and she had all these hangers stacked up. It was so quick - a couple of swipes on the thighs. I remember going to school and showing off my war wounds to my friends."
