Los Angeles, May 15 (IANS): Actress Charlize Theron was a multi-tasking mother on the set of post-apocalyptic action film “Mad Max: Fury Road”.

The 39-year-old was a new parent to her adopted son Jackson at the time of filming her role as Imperator Furiosa for the film. While shooting in the deserts of Namibia, Charlize had to do night feeds, exercise and act. She describes it as "tough", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I was a new mum, Jackson was only about three months old when we landed. He wasn't sleeping through the night yet, so most of that shoot I still had to do feedings throughout the night, train, do the film. It was a tough shoot,” Theron said on TV show “Lorraine”.

In "Mad Max" Theron worked alongside Nicholas Hoult and Tom Hardy, who plays the title role, and she has praised the two British actors for their talent, saying: "Nicholas Hoult is going to be huge, but Tom is just stupidly talented, so it was really ... you had to stay on your toes (during filming)."
