The Oscar-winning actress, who stars in Paul Haggis’ war thriller In the Valley of Elah – says her latest role helped her form her own opinions about the war in Iraq.
She said: ‘My opinion is that our president should be a little bit more responsible. When we watch the news, we see those politicians in their very expensive suits and air-conditioned buildings telling us how our soldiers are doing in Iraq.
‘I think this film is the voice of the soldiers that we’re not hearing in journalistic news today.’
However, Charlize has no plans to use her fame to impose her political opinions on others, like so many actors do. She added: ‘I don’t want to be that kind of actor. If I were that kind of person, I would be a politician. But I’m not a politician – I’m an entertainer and I always will be.’
