Charlize Theron reveals the one intense Netflix script that forced her to cancel her acting break

Charlize Theron is breaking down the grueling reality behind her latest action-intense project, including why she decided to terminate her break from acting. While attending the Netflix 'Apex' premiere in New York, the actress revealed she dedicated "two and a half months" to training so she could execute all of her own stunts. Despite the intense stunt work, Theron shattered the macho Hollywood ego, admitting it is "stupid to try and take a risk," adding that she relies heavily on safety teams to keep the set low risk. The star also confessed she was actively taking a break from action films and planning a pivot to play a chef, but the script for the Taron Egerton-adjacent 'Apex' was so good that she simply couldn't put it down.
