Charlize Theron 'I need alcohol for love scene'

Charlize Theron needed alcohol to get through her scenes with Patton Oswalt on Young Adult because she “hates” reading the words out loud during rehearsals.

Charlize, 36, stars as an adult novelist in the movie which is directed by Jason Reitman and sees Patton play her former classmate Matt and the pair drank plenty of “acting juice” when they were rehearsing for their roles because the blonde stunner “hates” reading words out loud during rehearsals.

“What did I need for rehearsal? A lot of alcohol,” she said. “I don’t like rehearsal, and Jason doesn’t like rehearsal either. I hate table reads. I hate anything where you have to say the words out loud.

“It was a huge problem. Then Jason, he had done two table reads at his house previously, said, ‘Just come and do this,’ and I was like, ‘God dammit Jason, I might break out in hives and I hate this.’

“Jason was like, ‘No just read it, I just want to hear the words. Don’t feel pressure.’ Then this f****r was like to the map, and I’m sitting there going, ‘Are you kidding me? Are we going to do this now? Alright bitch, let’s go.’

“By page 20 we were at it, and I walked out and I knew we were going to make the film together.”
