Charlize Theron had a stunt gone wrong in Aeon Flux
After winning an Oscar for her portrayal of Aileen Wuornos in Monster, Charlize Theron was eager to take on a part that required more physical exertion. Æon Flux presented an ideal chance to showcase her versatility as a successful movie star, but it almost put a stop to her career.
After learning ballet, capoeira, and gymnastics, the celebrity wanted to perform her stunts. However, a back handspring went wrong, and she ended up landing on her head. Theron sustained severe nerve damage as a result of the injury. Fortunately, she made a full recovery from her wounds, so it’s possible that the film’s box office failure was overstated.
