Star actress Charlize Theron<\/strong> has lived a thousand lives in the film industry. Only four so far for Kiki Layne<\/strong>. The first one was not even 30, when she portrayed the American serial killer Aileen Wuornos in <\/span>Monster<\/span><\/i> (2003) by Patty Jenkins. That role earned her the Oscar<\/strong> for Best Actress, before she skyrocketed to the status of legend as the mutilated warrior Furiosa<\/strong> in <\/span>Mad Max: Fury Road<\/i><\/strong> (2015) over a decade later.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second one made a spectacular rise to fame with her role as a devoted lover fighting to clear her husband\u2019s name in Barry Jenkins<\/strong>\u2019 feature <\/span>If Beale Street Could Talk<\/span><\/i> (2018). Since then, she has starred in several feature films<\/span>, includins <\/span>The Old Guard<\/i><\/strong> (2020).<\/span> The feature cast her <\/span>in a combative, sisterly duo with Charlize Theron<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two actresses reunite in the sequel <\/span>The Old Guard 2<\/i><\/strong> (2025), a<\/span>vailable on Netflix t<\/span>his month. The premise? \u201cAndy leads immortal warriors against a powerful enemy threatening their group. They grapple with the resurfacing of a long-lost immortal, complicating their mission to safeguard humanity<\/em>.\u201d Another hit p<\/span>roduction for the platform<\/span> and the perfect opportunity to revisit our conversation with this dynamic<\/span> acting duo, who keeps coming back to life on screen through their roles.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interview with Charlize Theron and Kiki Layne, protagonists in <\/b>The Old Guard 2<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Num\u00e9ro: Charlize, in recent years, you\u2019ve made a name for yourself in the film industry as a producer (<\/b>Monster<\/i><\/b>, <\/b>Atomic Blonde<\/i><\/b>, <\/b>Tully<\/i><\/b>, <\/b>A Private War<\/i><\/b>). It is also the case for <\/b>The Old Guard<\/i><\/b>, in which you play the lead character. As an actress, is producing a way to reinvent yourself?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlize Theron<\/a>:<\/b> I love taking on that role<\/span>. <\/span>Even when I\u2019m not acting, producing a film is creatively very stimulating for me. In a way, being on the production side allows you to keep a sense of control. I couldn\u2019t stand having to depend on someone else for my career to move forward. Producing is about creating opportunities, both for myself and others, especially for other women. And I feel lucky to be able to do that.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiki, how did it feel to have Charlize Theron as a sort of spiritual mother in the film?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiki Layne:<\/strong> [laughs] I wouldn\u2019t say she was my mother, but more of a mentor for me!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlize Theron:<\/strong> [laughs] Thank you, Kiki!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

K.L.:<\/b> It was perfect because the relationship between Andy and Nile in the film is very similar to the one Charlize and I had in real life. In the film, Andy (Charlize) is close to the end of her immortality, while Nile (me) is just discovering her powers. In a way, it mirrors who I am: <\/span>The Old Guard<\/i><\/strong> was my fourth feature film, my first action movie, and definitely the biggest project I\u2019ve ever been a part of. Working alongside Charlize, who has so much knowledge, experience, and confidence on set, and just watching her taught me a lot. I\u2019m incredibly grateful to be part of this film and star alongside such a great actress, who has done so much to improve the women’s representation in the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you<\/strong> tell us more about how the filming of the<\/strong> long fight scene between you two went?<\/strong>

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K.L.:<\/b> It was the first scene we shot together. I was terrified, I couldn\u2019t stop overthinking it<\/span>\u2026 <\/span>In the end, I\u2019m glad we started the film with that scene. I think shooting a fight scene is a great way to bond for two actors. It really sets the tone for what will connect their characters later on.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love my work as an actress because you spend your time unpacking human psychology<\/em>.\u201d Charlize Theron<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Charlize, you gained 15 kg and even spent time with one friend of a death row inmate<\/strong>. It was in 2003<\/strong>, when you portrayed the infamous American serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Patty Jenkins\u2019 debut film Monster. <\/i>Nearly twenty years later, would you take on such a challenging role again today?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

C.T.:<\/b> I wouldn\u2019t hesitate for a second. You know, Aileen\u2019s psyche was one of the most complex I\u2019ve ever had the privilege to explore. It was the first time I\u2019d taken on a role like that, and there was something deeply moving about this woman – her life, actions, and character were harshly judged by American society. Few people know that Aileen Wuornos was the first female serial killer, and no one ever asked what drove her to commit such horrors. We live in a world where we\u2019re constantly labelling people, putting them into boxes, and dismissing them, when we could gain so much more by trying to understand why or how someone ends up completely neglected by others and cut off from society. I love my work as an actress because it\u2019s all about unpacking human psychology and trying to analyse what motivates people to do what they do. It\u2019s something that still drives me today and will continue to fascinate me as an actress.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
