And that was the day Fred Savage realized he'd become a man who directed Charlize Theron movies

As Fred Savage talked about all this with Charlize Theron, he knew that things would never quite be the same between them. Oh sure, they’d still be friends—catching fireflies on a summer’s evening, watching a baseball game, even seeing a man walk on the moon together. But there would always be this unspoken thing between them, this sense of something… bigger. The funny thing about being a film director is, you start out trying to tell someone else’s story, looking at things through a lens like a telescope. But pretty soon, you realize you’re in the story, and that the telescope is pointed right back at you. After all, life is a series of twists and turns and Bridesmaids-esque comedies. And that was the moment Fred Savage knew he’d turned a corner, on that long road home.
