Charlize Theron's Geographical Gaffe

She thinks Budapest's in Turkey...

Sunday 20th Jan 2008

Charlize Theron has compromised her reputation as one of Hollywood’s most intelligent actresses by eulogising about Turkish captial city ‘Budapest’.

The Oscar winning actress got her capital cities mixed up in a new interview, where she described backpacking to the Istanbul International Film Festival with her actor husband Stuart Townsend.

She 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.”

Really! Everyone knows the capital of Turkey is Warsaw! Still, being called ‘one of the most intelligent actresses in Hollywood’ isn’t saying a great deal we guess….

  • I think the Warsaw comment was sarcasm...which they probably don't have in Slovakia.

  • Are you sure she drove to the capital of Turkey? Or did she land in Turkey first and travel to Hungary afterwards?

  • Charlize arrived to Istanbul and she said it's the best city she have ever seen.. But the problem is that she thought the name of the city is Budapest... I mean she knew that she was in Turkey but thought that the name is Budapest instead of Istanbul, thats all.. :) By the way, Ankara is the capital of Turkey but Istanbul is the cultural and economical center. Plus it's the European Capital of Culture 2010
