Charlize Theron is making it clear her children won’t be growing up with a Hollywood safety net.

During a candid conversation, the Oscar-winning actress shared her approach to parenting , revealing she plans to instill independence and a strong work ethic in her daughters from an early age.

“First of all, your first car is going to be a Datsun because you’re going to crash it,” Theron said bluntly on the “Therapuss with Jake Shane” podcast .

“You’re going to f— it up somehow. You’re a new driver. So, we’re not getting, like, the nice car up front. We need a little bit of experience, and we’re going to earn it.”

Theron emphasized that financial independence would be a non-negotiable for her kids.
