Charlize Theron spotted sneaking out of Australia after filming Netflix thriller in Sydney

The Oscar winner has bid farewell to Australia after spending four months filming an upcoming Netflix blockbuster on our shores.

Charlize Theron has exited Australia as discreetly as she arrived.

Four months after first touching down on our shores to film the upcoming Netflix blockbuster Apex in NSW, the Hollywood star was seen departing the country via Sydney Airport.

It seems during her months-long stay, our laid-back lifestyle has rubbed off on the star, who was seen rocking the quintessential Aussie combo of socks and sandals as she strolled through the terminal.

The 49-year-old did appear to wear the same black sunglasses and brown hat as she did when she arrived back in January, adding a touch of Hollywood to her otherwise ordinary outfit.

Welsh actor Taron Egerton, who like Theron arrived back in January, was also in town for the Netflix thriller, which was filmed in parts of Sydney and the Blue Mountains, including Glenbrook Gorge and Ginninderra Falls.

In Apex, Theron plays a grieving woman who seeks solace in the wilderness. An adrenaline junkie and rock climber, she embarks on a river run only to discover she is being hunted by a serial killer.

Per Deadline, Apex has been described as “Free Solo meets Silence of the Lambs”, and Theron has also signed on as a co-producer.

The film is directed by Baltasar Kormákur and also stars Aussie actor Eric Bana.

Filming aside, Theron enjoyed her time in Australia, with the star spotted attending Dua Lipa’s Sydney concert earlier this month with her daughters, Jackson, 11, and August, 7.

The Hollywood A-lister was even invited backstage by the pop star and the pair posed for happy photos together, while one of Theron’s daughters showed of her cartwheeling skills backstage.

“Oh what a night! @dualipa, ️” Theron captioned the pics on Instagram, to which the singer replied in a comment, “You’re the cooles️t.”

As for her co-star Egerton, he is fast becoming a major star for Netflix. Just recently, he played the lead role in the action thriller Carry On, which was a smashing success for the streamer.

The film follows a TSA agent (Egerton) who is being blackmailed by a mysterious passenger (played by Jason Bateman) to allow a bag containing a deadly nerve agent on board a flight.

The film topped Netflix’s Top 10 List for a full three weeks during the Christmas period.

From the 10 days since it premiered on December 13, Carry On had already recorded 97.1 million views worldwide.

The film has since become the second-most-watched English-language film ever on Netflix, amassing a whopping 172 million since its release.

Netflix’s top-performing original movie of all time is the 2021 action comedy Red Notice, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot, with 230.9 million views.
