Charlize Theron Says It’s a ‘Miracle’ She’s Alive After Making Latest Film

The actress has just wrapped production on a film titled “Apex.”

Charlize Theron revealed Wednesday that it’s a “miracle” she’s still alive after working on her latest film, Apex. When teasing the upcoming project at Netflix’s 2025 Upfront presentation Wednesday, Theron recalled doing her own stunts for the action-thriller and disclosed that she sometimes opted out of using a harness. “Our crew delivered a really impressive movie, and yours truly did some stunts and action—without a harness, sometimes,” Theron said. “It’s actually a miracle that I’m here today,” she continued. "Apex only wrapped like a week ago, so I’m fresh off the mountain. I still have some Australian dirt under this pretty manicure, and my cute boot is hiding a fractured toe, and I can go on and on and on, but I won’t.” Though the shoot may have been extraneous, Theron confessed, “I can honestly say that shooting Apex was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.” Directed by Baltasar Kormákur, Apex is slated to follow a rock climber who finds herself being hunted in the wild. “Back to me almost dying,” Theron continued. “I’m really proud to share a little of this mammoth movie that I got to work on, and I have to say I was very lucky to work alongside the very talented Taron Egerton.”
