Charlize Theron really knows how to go above and beyond when it comes to her Hollywood work – quite literally, it might seem!
The Oscar-winning actress, 50, stars in the new Netflix movie Apex about a rock climber who has to escape a hunter while out on the peaks. Taron Egerton and Eric Bana co-star with her.
And to promote the movie, Netflix decided to engage Charlize’s very specific set of skills that she honed specifically for this project – by having her scale a billboard in Manhattan’s Times Square.
As you can see in the video above, the Oscar-winning actress jokingly swore through her climb of a billboard made to emulate a rock wall in the heart of New York City.

And yes, Netflix did indeed confirm it was Charlize herself climbing the billboard, there was no movie magic involved. “I didn’t know if I was going to like it,” the actress told the streamer of training for the film. “I’d never climbed before, except as a kid in Africa climbing trees, which I loved. And I weirdly climbed barefoot, so I was kind of prepping for this movie without knowing it.”
