Charlize Theron is Geographical
In an interview recently, Charlize Theron got a little mixed up with her geography when she repeatedly confused Budapest, the capital of Hungary for Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey.
The blonde Oscar winner talked passionately about visiting Budapest and mentioned the Hungarian capital three times by name in an interview.
Except she meant the Turkish city of Istanbul, which she visited with her boyfriend actor Stuart Townsend while the pair “backpacked” around the world.
The 32-year-old South African actress said: “We went to Turkey. When we got over there, we rented a car and we drove all the way to Budapest. By the time we got to Budapest it was like the Cannes Film Festival, I’d never seen anything like it.” (source)
Honestly, I don’t see what the problem is. She’s not a teacher, she’s a hot blond who likes to show her tits. That’s what hot blonds do. When you see Charlize Theron in movie you expect her to pull her top off and dance around not expound on the fall of the Byzantine empire and rise of the Ottoman Turks. Istanbul or Constantinople? It’s nobody’s business but the Turks.
Smartypants update: Big props to eagle-eyed Hertog Jan for catching my own geography blunder. I originally had Istanbul as the capital of Turkey, when everyone who knows their Asia Minor knows the capital is actually Ankara. Don’t smuggle hash kids!

[...] Fat Back: Charlize Theron is Geographical… Char gets confused by the layout of the world. Deceiver: Huckabullshit… they don’t seem to like Fuckabee either.

Nice one fatback! You’re even more confused than she is. Instanbul is NOT the capital of Turkey, it’s Ankara
