‘This is absolutely stupid. I did an action movie and ripped the ligament off the bone fighting… Oh, that’s cool? Theron said, as the crowd started to applaud.

When asked if it was a “custom glove,” Theron joked, “Regular people have it,” before describing it a bit.

“It’s like cloth and they shape it for hours around it. It’s hard for girls to put their arms through the sleeves,” she said.

The actress has been walking around with this injury for two months, adding that she filmed The Old Guard after filming Fast & Furious 9.

I’ve been walking around with this injury for two months. I didn’t know it was a thing. She said.

She added that she was told her number was “basically moving”, which led to her getting the black gauntlet.

Theron was at the show to promote her two new movies, The Addams Family, where she plays Morticia Addams, and Bombshell, where she plays Megyn Kelly.

Bombshell depicts Kelly and the other women at Fox News who blow the whistle on Roger Ailes’ behavior, which leads to his downfall.

When asked if Kelly was aware of her filming, Theron stated, “No, she’s totally aware of it.” It’s interesting when you make a movie like this.

You want your sources to be respected. Theron jokingly added that she hopes she doesn’t sue Kelly.

Growing up in South Africa, Theron did not see the Addams family as a child, but added that she “discovered it later in life.”

When asked if her children, 4-year-old and 4-year-old Jackson, knew she was voicing Morticia Addams, the actress said she thought so.

“My first animated movie was a movie called Kubo and the Two Strings and I was hoping they would have it and within two seconds they would go, ‘It’s you. “

Kimmel added that he did the same with his voice role as a father in The Boss Baby, with Theron adding, “I’m so glad I’m not the odd single parent.”

“The accent is weird and they put it together and want me to talk like it all the time.”

She added that IMAX has screened The Addams Family for each of its children’s seasons, and that it was Snoop Dogg’s cousin who stole the show.

“Your mother has been practicing this accent for three months and this is your favorite character?” Theron joked.

The Addams Family hits theaters October 11, while Bombshell is set to hit theaters on Christmas Day.
