Charlize Theron Believes Love Conquers All—but ''Romantic Love'' Is Only the Beginning

This is what Charlize Theron talks about when she talks about love.
The Oscar winner, who returns as evil Queen Ravenna in Universal Pictures' The Huntsman: Winter's War, chatted with E! News' Zuri Hall on the red carpet during the film's premiere in Los Angeles last night—and we wanted to know whether she truly believes that "love conquers all," fairy-tale-style.
"The older I've become, the more I realize there are so many different kinds of love than just romantic love, and in that sense, yes," Theron replied thoughtfully. "But I think, you know, when we're young we think it's only that thing… Then you fall in love with your children, and you fall in love with your sisterhood of friends and you realize there are so many different kinds of love! That it is what kind of conquers all, because at the end of the day that is truly what matters."

The stunning star also recounted a funny story from the set, in which her children Jackson and August Theron ran around play-fighting with her co-star Chris Hemsworth's children, all of them wielding fake prop axes.
"There was one moment, I think Chris shot a video of it, where all the kids had an ax in their hand and they were running in circles chasing each other, and I just heard my son every time he came around yelling, 'Get her, get her!' And I was like, 'What are we doing to our kids?!'" the actress shared, laughing.
The Huntsman: Winter's War is scheduled for a U.S. release on April 22.
