Charlize Theron was a guest on the “SmartLess” podcast with hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett. While discussing her time working on “Mad Max: Fury Road,” she dropped a startling revelation. “I think, for me, it was important just to know that I was safe because safety is a bit of an issue there, and I had a new baby, and that became the biggest issue,” Theron explained to the Smartless hosts. “It was just me and Jackson in the house and I got broken in [on] … five times. And that was really scary.”
During the shoot in Nambia, Africa, the actress said she stayed in a luxurious house that made her a target for criminals. She said that security was a big issue, but thankfully, director George Miller cast former Australian military members as the War Boys, and those castmates proved to be the heroes she needed to feel safe. “I would text them and literally, like three minutes later, I would see their flashlights coming. And I just kind of relied on them and they kept me safe the whole movie.”

While the War Boys proved villainous in the film, they were the guardian angels Theron and her child needed in reality. Those break-ins were just a few of the behind-the-scenes troubles during the production of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” with Theron and the cast proving that the entire experience was a chaotic ride both on and off-screen.
