Charlize Theron’s One-Line Cameo in ‘The Studio’: The Co-Creator’s Reaction

BBG News

When you stream “The Studio” using your Apple TV+ subscription, you’ll encounter numerous celebrity appearances. For instance, Seth Rogen’s new series, which aired last month according to the 2025 schedule, features an abundance of Hollywood stars playing fictionalized versions of themselves. Notably, Charlize Theron is among them. Interestingly, her brief appearance consists of just one line, and co-creator Alex Gregory of “The Studio” expressed that this was an incredibly cool move, referring to it as the epitome of coolness.

At her own party, Charlize Theron told Seth Rogen’s character Matt Remick and Ike Barinholtz’s character Sal Saperstein to leave, following a disagreement about Martin Scorsese’s film project. This dispute arose when the men reportedly informed Scorsese that not only would he not be producing Jonestown for Continental Studios, but also that they wouldn’t permit him to take his supposed final movie elsewhere as Continental was focusing on their Kool-Aid Man film instead. During my recent conversation with Gregory, he shared this insight about Theron’s role in the story:

As a movie enthusiast, what struck me as incredibly badass was when Charlize Theron decided to reduce her lines to a single, powerful statement. It was as if she were saying, “I don’t need many words to make an impact.” She carries herself with such grace and professionalism; a true class act.

In the initial episode of The Studio, titled “The Promotion”, we could’ve seen more of Charlize Theron, but she declined. Instead, her character made a single demand, and it proved to be effective. Matt and Sal left dejectedly, and I’m sure they won’t be invited to any future events hosted by Theron. As Alex Gregory pointed out, it was quite a bold decision on her part.

It’s understandable that Charlize Theron, having worked with Seth Rogen on the comedy film “Long Shot,” might find it straightforward for him to invite her to visit the highly praised studio, The Studio. Interestingly, Gregory mentioned that many celebrities appearing in The Studio have either collaborated with Rogen before or admire his work. This creates a strong bond of trust, and Gregory also pointed out that Rogen and Evan Goldberg, another co-creator of the show, have been diligent in ensuring their guests are comfortable and clearly understand their role in the production. He further stated:

Seth excels as a performer because he understands that people crave knowing their joke will be entertaining. To fulfill this desire, we took extra care to ensure each performance included a genuine anecdote, rather than simply greeting the audience casually.

Alex Gregory commented after discussing Charlize Theron that once it was known Martin Scorsese would feature in The Studio, “it became simpler to secure cameos.” Although I don’t anticipate seeing Theron again this season, if the Apple TV+ series is renewed for a second season, I hope she reappears to glare at Matt Remick. I feel she should maintain her anger towards him for causing one of the most renowned directors in history to cry.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to find ourselves right smack dab in the middle of Season 1 for The Studio! Fresh episodes are dropping every Wednesday, with one even inspired by the glamorous Golden Globes. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for Charlize Theron who will grace our screens once again in The Old Guard 2, set to premiere on Netflix starting July 2.
