Charlize Theron broke two teeth in a horrible accident in 'Atomic Blonde'
Charlize Theron returns to action movies and does it in style with 'Atomic Blonde', a character that we could define as a kind of female John Wick. But playing a lethal spy with heart-stopping fight scenes is no easy task. The South African actress had to suffer through workouts and exercise routines…literally. Charlize suffered such a terrible accident on set that she is still undergoing treatment.
The actress is still recovering from the injury, undergoing oral surgery to fix her teeth after a kick broke two of her teeth.
“My teeth are in really bad shape,” Theron explained in the enc
Meet the press on opening night at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas. “I'm still going through the surgeries. She is truly insane. When I was training, I broke two teeth in the back of her mouth, clenching her jaw during a fight, because apparently I didn't have enough strength in my arms. ”
Charlize had to complete one of the operations before the start of filming. "And I'm still dealing with it," she said.
During the intense training, the interpreter even called the director of the tape, David Leitch (the director of 'Deadpool 2'), to give up because "nothing was working, and he didn't know what he was doing." Fortunately, she made it through the arduous training sessions with eight trainers, and was able to take on the role of the hit woman set in Berlin in 1989. And while her character is normally played by men, eventually, Charlize didn't use any stunt doubles and fought men nearly twice as many. bigger than her. And the effort is latent in the trailer:
Theron spent five years developing the project, based on the graphic novel The Coldest City, and it will be released on July 28 in the US and on August 4 in Spain.
