Charlize Theron on the Fight Scenes in "Atomic Blonde"

In her interview, Charlize talks about how she prepared for the fight scenes in ‘Atomic Blonde’. Asked if it was difficult, she says, “Yes, but it’s like dance, and I grew up taking ballet. I love discipline. I function really well within the parameters of discipline and knowing what to do.”

She continues, “For instance, you have to throw yourself into ballet 100 percent, and that was really good for me as a young girl. But other than Teri Hatcher, I had only connected my fist with a girl’s face once in my entire life, so I had to do a lot of training for this film.”
