Charlize Theron Shares Why She Uses Reverse Psychology on Her Kids (Exclusive)

Charlize Theron has two daughters, Jackson and August, who she hopes become as philanthropical as she is.

Talking with ET's Cassie DiLaura on Saturday from the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project's 4th Annual Block Party, the 48-year-old Mad Max: Fury Road star opened up about using reverse psychology on her kids to instill the right values in her 11 and 7-year-old. CTAOP seeks to remedy major issues in Africa, including sexual and reproductive healthcare discrepancies, gender-based violence, HIV/Aids and lack of accessible education materials for young Africans, according to its website. In her latest sit-down, the Fast X star said that it's that sense of charity and spirit to give back that keeps her moving with CTAOP and the annual block party, which is held each year in July and even brings some young students to come celebrate.
