Charlize Theron speaks up about on-set injuries for ‘Apex’ movie

Charlize Theron has recently opened up about on-set injuries for Apex movie.

The South African actress revealed she’s tough but what made her tap out while filming upcoming action-thriller movie.

Speaking to Extra, Charlize said that most of her injuries “are real like dropping my kids off to school”.

“I often wore my arm brace and people are like oh you must be wrapped,” explained the 50-year-old.

Interestingly, the Monster actress disclosed that she “got injuries” in this new movie.

“I had two surgeries on my right arm to recover from ulnar nerve that wasn’t set in the right place,” pointed out Charlize.

After wrapping up this movie, the Atomic Blonde actress mentioned, “I also had some intercoastal tears on my ribs and I had a fractured toe.”

Therefore, Charlize adds that the “thing that made me tap out, though was an ear infection. It was like the straw that broke the camel’s back”.

Meanwhile, Apex, which is directed by Baltasar Kormákur, is slated to release on April 24 on Netflix.
