Charlize Theron bonds with "daredevil" daughter August over rock climbing while training for 'Apex'

Charlize Theron shares how she bonded with her "daredevil" daughter August, 11, during rock climbing training for Netflix's 'Apex,' calling it a fun and motivating experience.

"Sometimes, as an adult, you get so caught up in the mechanics of it... 'Gotta get to the top.' - Charlize Theron"

New York, April 24

Actor Charlize Theron has shared a heartwarming glimpse into her off-screen life, revealing how she bonded with her youngest daughter August, 11, during rock climbing training for her upcoming Netflix action film 'Apex', according to E! News.

The Oscar-winning actor revealed that she brought August along during her rock climbing training sessions with professional climber Beth Rodden, where the two children of the athletes also formed their own adventurous duo.

"She's a bit of a daredevil," Theron said at the New York City premiere of 'Apex'. "Beth and I would be working on one side, and whenever I got tired, I would just look over and the two of them were just going up these walls."

Theron said watching the children climb fearlessly became an unexpected source of motivation during her own physically demanding preparation.

"It was really good for me to see that," she added. "Sometimes, as an adult, you get so caught up in the mechanics of it. And then you just look over and these kids who know nothing, they're just like, 'Gotta get to the top.' And you're like, 'OK, that's all I have to do. Just get to the top.' It was fun to share that with her," according to E! News.

The Atomic Blonde star, who is also mother to 14-year-old daughter Jackson, joked about her ideal Mother's Day plans, saying, "They better bring me tea or something in bed. Hint, hint."

Despite her playful remarks, Theron said she continues to embrace physically demanding roles and action-driven storytelling on screen.

"Our physical bodies can say a lot," she explained. "We as actors sometimes use words as a crutch and when you strip all of that away, it's a really, really good exercise for actors to really understand that mind and body has to be connected," according to E! News.

Love how Charlize brings her daughter into her world. Rock climbing is not something we see much in India, but it's great for building confidence and trust. The way she says "just get to the top" is such a wonderful life lesson for kids - and adults too! 👏

As a working mother in India, I find this very relatable. Balancing career and family is tough, but she makes it look so natural. The Mother's Day tea comment was so sweet - reminds me of my own kids trying to surprise me! 😄

Quite refreshing to see a Hollywood star talking about motherhood so openly. In our culture, we often see mothers as caregivers first, but Charlize shows you can be adventurous and still be a great mom. The climbing analogy about not overthinking is really smart!

This is so wholesome! Watching kids be fearless is indeed a great reminder for us adults. In India, especially, we tend to overanalyze everything - work, relationships, parenting. Sometimes we just need to "get to the top" without thinking too much. Beautiful message! ❤️

I respect her commitment to action roles but also appreciate how she doesn't lose sight of being a mother. In our society, we often put careers and parenting in separate boxes, but she shows they can coexist beautifully. The rock climbing bonding is just lovely!
