Academy Award-winning star Charlize Theron celebrated International Dance Day by recalling the day she rocked the Oscar stage with her actor fellow Channing Tatum.
On April 29, one of the most recognized actors worldwide, fired up her social media accounts with a two-photo gallery seeing her dancing with the ‘Magic Mike‘ actor during the 85th Academy Award ceremony. As fans might remember, the actors performed a ballroom dance along with the legendary singer Frank Sinatra’s song ‘The Way You Look Tonight‘ back on February 24, 2013.
Alongside the photos, Theron added a note saying that she got to relive her dancing days at the Oscars. Then she continued by stating that she thought that she just would do a quick spin at the stage when actor and singer Seth MacFarlane asked for the performance. In her own words:
“In honor of International Dance Day, throwing it back to that time I got to relive my dancing days at the Oscars. When Seth MacFarlane asked me to do this he made it sound like I’d just have to hop onstage and do a quick spin, and then he tells me to show up to rehearsals and it’s a whole damn choreographed number!”
Instead of a real quick spin and hop, Theron and Tatum, who is really good at dancing, amazed all the audiences with their unique performance on the stage. Regarding that, the Hollywood star wrote:
“So thanks for tricking me into what turned out to be an amazing experience. And shoutout to Channing Tatum for being the best dance partner ever.”
Theron may be quite right that Tatum is the best dance partner ever; as known, the actor appeared in dance movies such as ‘Magic Mike‘ and ‘Step Up‘ and received high praises for his both acting and dancing performances.
