Charlize Theron has confessed that she "can relate" to her upcoming movie 'Dark Place's' character, since she had herself witnessed a "very traumatic experience" as a child.
In a recent interview, the 39-year old actress, relating it to her character 'Libby Day,' who at the age of 8 witnesses horrific murder of her mother and sisters, said that she too experienced a "very unfortunate" incident, when she was only 15, E! Online reported.
The 'Monster' star, whose mother Gerda had shot her drunken father in self-defense after he fired his gun in Theron's bedroom, said that this incident had "formed" her but it didn't "rule" her life. No charges were filed against her mother.
Theron also said that she would have done the same, in case her daughter had been in a similar situation.
The 'Snow White' star had even convinced her boyfriend Sean Penn to auction his collection of 65 guns, last year.
