Charlize Theron has revealed that she is 'raising two beautiful proud black African girls.'

The South African actress spoke candidly about her family on The Graham Norton Show, which is set to air on Friday night, days after revealing that she has been raising her adopted child Jackson as a girl after the seven-year-old was introduced to the world as a boy.

'I'm raising two beautiful proud black African girls and I want them to find themselves and not necessarily push my ancestry on them, but I have taught them two very sweet Afrikaans songs about politeness,' the Oscar winner, 43, revealed.

Strong family ties has always been important for the Afrikaans star, whose story of early childhood trauma in South Africa is well known.

When Charlize was just 15-years-old, her father returned back to their farm outside of Johannesburg in a rage threatening to kill Charlize and her mother, Gerda. However, in a turn of events, it was Gerda who shot him in front of Charlize's eyes, in an act of that was later deemed self-defence.

Adoption was always in Charlize's plan, and she adopted Jackson in 2012, and August in 2015.
