Heres something cool Ive learned about Charlize Theron: shes really funny. She was hilarious through out our interview at the Snow White and the Huntsman junket in England last weekend, and she spent the entire press day cracking jokes and doing bits with everyone. Ive always wondered why she doesnt do more comedy, especially because her story arch as the spy Rita Leeds on Arrested Development (one of the greatest shows of all time, IMHO), is so.damn.funny. If you havent seen it please stop reading this blog post immediately, run to Netflix, and thank me when youre done.

After years of will they or wont they, it was recently confirmed that an Arrested Development movie is in the works, for reals. And so of course I had to dork out and ask Charlize if shed consider reprising her role as Rita on the big screen. Good news, AD fans! The actress calls her time on the show, one of my favorite experiences Ive ever had and says shed love to be a part of the film. Also she describes herself as a nerd, which gave me a serious case of heart explosions. Clip above.
