Charlize Theron Climbs Times Square Billboard for Apex

0:00On April 24, Charlie Starrin took her movie promo to Wild New Levels by climbing a huge Times Square billboard for her Netflix thriller Apex. The 50-year-old star plays a tough survivor battling it out in the wild, alongside Tarrin Egerton. She geared up with full climbing kit and made it look easy. Earlier this week on Friday, April 24, Starrin spent weeks training with pro climber Beth Rodden to master those high-stakes scenes. The flick, directed by Balthazar Kormacher, drops her character into an Australian kayaking trip that turns into a brutal fight against the predator. Crowds below in Times Square stopped and stared as she powered to the top, owning the moment like a boss. There until folks last December, she never really climbed before. Just trees as a kid in Africa, but now she calls it straight fun and addictive. Filming went down on location in Australia's New South Wales, hitting spots like the Blue Mountains outside Sydney, with Eric Banna, also in the mix. Apex hit Netflix, streaming the same day as her billboards done.
