The pair couldn’t hide their pride of seeing a fellow South African make it big. Sweet!

Two of South Africa’s most successful entertainers were united on the Noah-hosted chat show, and it was an absolute blast.
The pair revelled in each others’ success, celebrating how they’ve both put South Africa on the map with their achievements.
Noah admits to ‘crying with joy’ when Theron won an Oscar for her performance in 2003 Monster – a performance which acclaimed film critic Roger Ebert described as “”one of the greatest in the history of the cinema”.
In fact, Theron said she repaid the compliment by doing the exact same thing when our Trevor succeeded John Stewart to land The Daily Show job!
Successful South Africans
It’s something that is almost uniquely South African: Celebrating each others success with just as much emotion as we would our own. When we do great things, we do them as a nation.
It’s a value that neither Noah or Theron have forgot during their ascent to superstardom – You can see a clip of their fun-loving interview here:
