Charlize Theron fat-shamed martial arts icon and actor Steven Seagal

Mad Max: Fury Road star shared her views on Steven Seagal in an interview with Howard Stern. The actress blasted the 68-year-old veteran action hero and called him out for misconduct with several women.

She was enraged at him and said,

“I have no problem talking s*** about him because he’s not very nice to women, so f*** you.”

Theron also opened up about training for action and fighting roles and explained she would stumble upon YouTube videos of Steven Seagal performing Aikido, a Japanese martial art. She added that she didn’t think he was worthy of the prestige given to him.

Theron said,

“At night I’ll go online to watch fighters or watch people fight and you always come across that odd Seagal video of him ‘fighting’ in Japan, but he really isn’t. He’s just incredibly overweight and pushing people.”

Taking about the Under Siege actor, she called his fight sequences fake.

“He’s overweight and can barely fight – look it up, it’s ridiculous. He’s shoving people by the face. It’s a whole setup.”

Bombshell actress blatantly called Above The Law actor a fraud and body slammed him for his excessive weight.

Charlize Theron appreciates tough female action stars

Over the years, numerous actresses have taken up roles involving actions and stunts, which they pull off excellently. Theron roots for strong female action heroes as they have raised the bar for the action film genre. They have proved themselves equally good in the fight scene as their counterparts.

Theron said,

“We don’t want to f—–g fight like men, we want to fight like we would fight and figure out what this looks like. We want to fight smarter we want to fight in a way that makes sense and we want to do it in a way where we’re still part of emotional storytelling.”
