Charlize Theron nails her Megyn Kelly look in Roger Ailes movie, as former 'Today Show' host's career hangs in jeopardy

Even as Megyn Kelly's 'Today show' got cancelled by NBC, Charlize Theron debuted her look as the former Fox correspondent.

It’s terrible day to be Megyn Kelly, unless you are Charlize Theron. The South African actress, who plays the former Fox correspondent in the upcoming Roger Ailes film debuted her look on the sets, on the same day that Kelly’s  9 am ‘Today Show’ was cancelled by NBC following some questionable comments she made regarding blackface on Halloween.  

The Oscar-winning actress, 43, looks unrecognizable as she looks like Kelly’s doppelganger in a white T-shirt, jeans and the news anchor’s signature blonde, wavy hair. After smiling and posing for photographs, she was seen in a more formal, Fox–era Kelly look, in a black dress that was complemented with her blonde hair in a bun.
