Dior interviewed actress Charlize Theron for the launch of J'adore Voile de Parfum. Charlize is the muse of the campaign for the J'adore fragrance. Charlize also starred in a short film for Dior's women's fragrance, Dior J'adore, with Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich and Grace Kelly in 2011.
In the Dior interview, Charlize talks about working with the House of Dior in fragrance and fashion campaigns over the past seven years. She says the house really celebrates women and their curves and sensuality. Charlize says a Dior woman thinks outside the box and walks to her own beat. She is also modern and a "bit of a contradiction."
In another Dior video - an interview with photograph Peter Lindbergh - available on People, Charlize jokes that she must have been a baby when she started working with Dior. She also says she "must have been 14 when I started." When she was corrected by a woman working the cameras that she was actually in her 20s, Charlize responded, "Shut up! I have a reputation!"
More recently, Charlize recorded a "Dior Stands with Women" video with Dior. She says her mom used to tell her when she was a little: "It is your duty as a human being to stand up for those who can't speak for themselves." Take a look:
