Charlize Theron is not American, which means she should not be a geographically-challenged moron. Nevertheless, Charlize does appear to have trouble keeping her cities straight. The actress was speaking recently about her world travels, and mentioned a trip she and boyfriend Stuart Townsend took to Turkey. Charlize 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.
Of course it's possible to drive from Turkey to Hungary - unfortunately, the film festival Charlize was talking about was the Istanbul Film Festival, plus Budapest is an inland city and therefore looks nothing like Cannes. Istanbul is on the Bosphorus Strait however and, going by the pictures, could be said to resemble Cannes. And of course, as some of us know (maybe Charlize too), Istanbul used to be Constantinople. But Constantinople got the works, which is nobody's business but the Turks.
Yes, I know...Charlize knew good and well she was in Istanbul and girl just misspoke herself. It happens...when you're stoned. And dim to begin with.
