Charlize Theron stunned attendees at the premiere of The Old Guard 2 with her daring red carpet look, donning a sleek Givenchy fishnet catsuit that accentuated her figure. The 49-year-old actress, known for her powerful performances in films like Mad Max: Fury Road and Phantoms of the Haunted Mason, continued to captivate audiences with her bold fashion choices. She paired the catsuit with a black tuxedo jacket and square-toed black leather boots, completing her ensemble with a pair of diamond Christian Dior earrings.
Theron, who is currently filming Fast X, also took the opportunity to reflect on her upcoming 50th birthday, which she will celebrate on August 7. During an interview with People magazine, she shared her thoughts on the importance of work-life balance, expressing that she has developed a better understanding of how to manage her roles as a mother, actor, and public figure. “I feel like time has actually really started to slow down the older I get,” she said. “In my 20s, it was going so fast, and I was in such a rush, and now I feel like … I’m not.”
In addition to her personal reflections, Theron also touched on her collaboration with Uma Thurman in the sequel. The duo, who had previously worked together on projects like Reservoir Dogs, expressed their excitement over the upcoming film. “Team up with Thurman for the sequel was everything that we hoped for,” Theron said. “It’s what we got excited about in the preproduction. We’re so grateful that she said yes. And I look at the movie now, and I still pinch myself. I still can’t believe she said yes.”
The film, based on the popular comic book series by Greg Rucka, follows Theron’s character Andy as she leads immortal warriors against a powerful enemy threatening their group. The sequel, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, also features Chiwetel Ejiofor, Marwan Kenzari, KiKi Layne, and Henry Golding, who joins the cast for this installment. “They grapple with the resurfacing of a long-lost immortal, complicating their mission to safeguard humanity,” according to the plot synopsis.
