In an interview with E! News’ Sibley Scoles, the Gringo star said that when she was younger, she’d begin to smoke the minute the sun comes up.
“I was a wake-and-baker for most of my life,” Theron said.
Despite her love for weed, Theron admitted that she was somewhat of a late-bloomer when it came to toking, but she had found an instant connection.
” I didn’t really mess around with anything until I was much older,” Theron said. “But I really appreciated marijuana way more than alcohol or anything else”
While she did kick her habit in her thirties, she’s not opposed to sparking up that love again.
“I’m open to retrying it again because now there’s all these different strains and you can be specific with it,” she said. “And I’m actually really interested because I have really bad insomnia, and I’d much rather get off sleeping pills and figure out a strain that helps me sleep better.
In the film, Theron plays the part of a pharmaceutical executive who’s caught between a Mexican drug lord and his affiliates in the cannabis industry.
‘Gringo’ hits theaters March 9th.
