Charlize Theron is known for being outspoken as heck and doesn’t give too EFFs about what Steven Seagal thinks about her, and that’s because of the 2018 sexual assault allegations against him.
So when the outspoken 44-year-old actress sat down virtually on Howard Stern’s show, she let out her feelings about the controversial 68-year-old actor.
Charlize is WITHOUT A DOUBT one of the best actors of our generation.
She can play brassy, sassy and classy. She can be a blonde bombshell, or the most iconic evil villain. She is strong, she is FIERCE, and she is outspoken AF!
So when Charlize sat down with Howard Stern (virtually, of course) she threw major shade at Steven Seagal.
Charlize is known for doing her own stunts in her action movies and wants it to be known that that’s NOT the norm in the action genre, mmmkay?!
Charlize said she finds doing her own stunts “[expletive] awesome” but admitted that she doesn’t like training for a role that involves too many complicated movements.
The 44-year-old actress injured herself on the set of Aeon Flux because of her character’s need for flexibility and the ability to do back flips.
“It’s all about having the right team,” Charlize admitted, revealing there are ways around injuries.
“You don’t need a stunt person to step in and do something. You create it to be something you can do. And that’s what makes it fun.”
She continued: “When you have choreography that is there to celebrate you as an actor to tell the story, not to have a stunt person step in and make you look good.”
She also revealed she and Keanu Reeves share the same stunt trainer. How iconic is that?!
However, when it comes to stunt actors who inspire her, Steven Seagal is not one of them.
In fact, Charlize had a few choice words to describe the controversial actor while chatting with Howard Stern.
“At night I’ll go online to watch fighters or watch people fight and you always come across that odd Seagal video of him ‘fighting’ in Japan, but he really isn’t,” Charlize explained.
“He’s just incredibly overweight and pushing people.”
“He’s overweight and can barely fight… look it up, it’s ridiculous,” she continued. “He’s shoving people by the face, it’s a whole setup.”
When asked why she had no issues coming for the 68-year-old, Charlize explained it was because he was mean to women!
“He’s not very nice to women, so [expletive] you!” Charlize said.
Two women came forward in 2018 alleging Steven sexually assaulted them. Jenny McCarthy, Portia de Rossi, and Julianna Margulies have also come forward with their own allegations of assault.
