Charlize Theron

So I like kind of attacking action movies in that sense that I want to make something that feels very realistic.

I'm not playing superheroes.

In 2017, I interviewed David Leitch, who directed you in Atomic Blonde.

And something he said to me was that, indeed, it's different to fight as a woman.

And he is obviously someone whose background is in being a stuntman.

And he said it's not about punching with brute force, but it's about using leverage.

It's just a different way to engage in physical conflict.

Can you fight in real life?

Are you someone who now feels like you could take someone down?

I mean, how many times do we think about that, Lulu?

Like I don't think about can I take people down, but I always think.

I do if I'm in a dark parking lot.

So there's that part of my brain that always.

It's about defending yourself.

Yes.

And I also think just given my history, I'm hyper aware like of those things.

Little things like fight with your elbows.

Oh, weirdly.

See, that's maybe why my elbows are so busted.

We're getting to some stuff here.
