A South African Afrikaans man has gone viral on social media after dragging SA Born US-based actress Charlize Theron. In a funny TikTok clip, the man can be heard telling Charlize that she is out of touch with reality and has been in America for a little too long now. This after she shared how to pronounce her name with an American English accent — something he evidently disagrees with.

Local social media users couldn’t help but crack up at how angry the man appears to be with the way Charlize says her name.

SA MAN DRAGS CHARLIZE THERON OVER HOW SHE SAYS HER NAME [WATCH]

Charlize Theron appears to have very little South African fans — even though she was born here 48 years ago.

The actress has made a huge success of herself in America and is the recipient of both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award.

Despite this, she seemingly has a knack of annoying South Africans.

For this year alone, she has been slammed for the way she dresses her child, for saying Afrikaans is a dying language and now for the way she pronounces her name.

He then comes on camera and slams her in Afrikaans.

“Ek dink regtig jy is te lank in Amerika. Jy’t heeltemal jou touch met reality verloor,” he tells her in the video.

“I totally agree with him Hawa Charlize,” one person said while another added:

“Thanks for sharing this. He’s really so upset about something that won’t make a difference to his life.
Charlize”
