The Snow White and the Huntsman star was happy to talk about her newly adopted son Jackson while appearing on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show.

The 36-year-old actress tells Seacrest:

    "It's been amazing, the amount of emails and congratulations. Everyone's just been so lovely, so it's been really nice. I didn't think I would be a fan of the swaddling, but the swaddling is pretty amazing. It looks a bit like a straight jacket, but for some reason they just love it."


Theron split from actor Stuart Townsend in 2010 after nine years together.
