HOLLYWOOD'S GORGEOUS QUEENS AND A LITTLE PRINCE
When The Huntsman: Winter's War hit theaters eight years ago, audiences were excited to see acting powerhouses Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt steal the spotlight. Both actresses graced the screen with commanding performances and captivating beauty. Not just the audience, but even Theron's son was left enchanted by Blunt's charm.
CHARMED BY A REAL-LIFE PRINCESS
We often hear stories of children getting awe-struck by the aura of Disney princesses. Similarly, Theron's 4-year-old son, Jackson, was totally mesmerized by Blunt's enchanting presence on the set of The Huntsman: Winter's War. Theron, in an interview with ExtraTV, revealed how her son considered Blunt to be the most beautiful princess ever. Theron joked that she, playing the film's queen, seemed to fade into the background in the presence of Blunt's regal beauty.
CHAT WITH THE QUEENS
In a discussion about the film on YouTube with FilmIsNow, Theron and Blunt delved into the factors that attracted them to play their roles in the film. Blunt, explaining about her role, highlighted that her character, Freya, is a nuanced villain arising from a pure-hearted girl's tragedy. On the other hand, Theron, who brought Queen Ravenna to life, appreciated the script's creativity in resurrecting her character from the original film.
THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER'S WAR – NOT A BOX OFFICE WINNER
Despite the high hopes invested in the film, it could not replicate the success of its prequel. Its worldwide gross earnings of over $164 million could not cover its production budget of $115 million. Regardless of the disappointing box office performance, the performances of the cast, including Theron and Blunt, still have fans talking.
THE FAIREST OF ALL
Even though Theron's son had a little crush on Blunt, he still considered his mom as the fairest of all. There was a moment where he referred to his mother as a “spicy mama” while she was acting in an intense scene. It seems the definition of beauty these young minds carry often surpasses what the eyes appreciate, and it's heartening to know that for Jackson, his mom's beauty outshines all.
The Huntsman: Winter's War is now available on Netflix for fans and those curious to see these powerful performances. Whether it's the elegance of Blunt's Ice Queen or the wicked charm of Theron's Queen Ravenna, this film is sure to enchant, just like it did to the little prince, Jackson.
It's a reminder that even a smaller box office score cannot overshadow the sparkle of a powerful narrative and exceptional performances. And with Hollywood's two bright gems—Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt—it's a fascinating tale of contrasting characters worth revisiting.
