Uma Thurman was hailed as "the OG" of stunts by Charlize Theron, who will compete with Thurman's character in her upcoming movie The Old Guard 2.
Recently, Charlize Theron stated that she thought Uma Thurman should have won an Oscar for her role as The Bride in the classic martial arts drama Kill Bill. Thurman portrayed a revenge-seeking assassin in Quentin Tarantino's two-part film.
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 were released in 2003 and 2004, respectively. Uma Thurman was hailed as "the OG" of stunts by Charlize Theron, who will compete with Thurman's character in her upcoming movie The Old Guard 2.
As cited by Deadline, Theron had once said during one of her appearances on Jimmy Kimmel's show, "We knew each other kind of offhand, but I knew her from being a massive fan, just watching her work and always wanted to do something with her. Because when I came into the action world, she was really, to me, like, the sensei."
When Jimmy Kimmel asked if Uma Thurman deserved an Oscar for her role in Kill Bill, Charlize Theron responded with a definitive, "100 percent."
"I think men get a lot of credit for these movies. What she did in that film was just so unbelievable. And to me, she’s just such a bada**. Since I’ve been in action movies, I’m like, ’Who do I want to like to work with and do an action sequence with?’ It’s always been Uma Thurman. Always," she added.
