Charlize Theron has recently sparked social media buzz after she climbs a New York City building to promote her new movie, Apex.

In a clip shared by Variety, the actress and producer uses a unique promotional stint to create hype about her latest survival thriller.

Charlize could be seen strapped in and mounting the side of a building in Times Square and she even made her way down, like it was a walk in the park.
