Charlize Theron is not afraid to take on very physical roles, like in Atomic Blonde or the recent Fast and Furious 10. However, the actress admits that she has a lot more trouble getting over it than before!
In Fast and Furious X, released last May, Charlize Theron resumed her role as the evil Cipher, already present in parts 8 and 9. The actress notably offered us a spectacular fight with Michelle Rodriguez, one of the best sequences of the film . Brutal at will, this scene marked the spirits.
Of course, this is not the first time that the South African actress has played action heroines. We remember in particular his muscular performances in Aeon Flux, Mad Max Fury Road, Atomic Blonde or the recent The Old Guard on Netflix.
However, as she gets older, the 48-year-old actress admits that it’s more and more difficult for her to take the shock physically. “What really irritates me is that I now shoot action films and if I get injured it takes me a lot longer to heal than when I was 20. More than my face, I I would like to have the body I had at 25 and be able to throw myself against the wall without hurting the next day”she confided in the columns of Allure.
Today, if I don’t exercise for three days and go back to the gym, I can’t walk. I can’t even sit on the toilet.
“Today, if I don’t exercise for three days and go back to the gym, I can’t walk. I can’t even sit on the toilet. All these moments are very concrete “she added.
Oscar winner in 2004 for her performance as a serial killer in Monster, Charlize Theron has never been afraid to transform herself physically. Sharpened as an action star, she also did not hesitate to gain weight for the purposes of filming this feature film by Patty Jenkins based on a true story.
In any case, Charlize Theron does well to keep in shape given the projects that await her! She is notably announced in the action films Atomic Blonde 2 and The Old Guard 2, currently in development.
She will also return to Marvel after her appearance at the end of Doctor Strange 2. However, all of these projects are on hold as the writers and actors strike that is currently paralyzing Hollywood.
