C. Theron Is Sick Of Being Linked With `Gloom`

The 33-year-old Oscar winner is now hoping to break away from making serious movies and experiment with lighter projects.

Charlize Theron is sick of being linked with "doom and gloom".

The South African-born actress - who played a serial killer in 'Monster' and a mine worker who was sexually harassed in 'North Country' - accepts her most famous movies have involved depressing storylines.

Charlize - who portrays a woman with a troubled childhood in new movie 'The Burning Plain' - said: "I am starting to figure that if there is a woman in a doom and gloom scenario, my name comes up."

The 33-year-old Oscar winner is now hoping to break away from making serious movies and experiment with lighter projects.

Charlize said on British TV show 'Richard and Judy': "The next one has to be a comedy. I've always let it be known that I would love to do a musical."

The blonde beauty recently revealed she would love to team up with Will Smith for a sequel to superhero movie 'Hancock'.

She said: "If everybody was on board, yeah, I'd do it. I would be an idiot not to do it. Riding the Will Smith train is a really nice train to ride."
