Henry Golding thinks Charlize Theron is a "rare commodity in Hollywood".
The 38-year-old actor stars alongside the Oscar-winning actress in The Old Guard 2, and Henry has lavished praise on his co-star, observing that Charlize is one of the most professional people he's worked with.
Speaking to People, Henry explained: "You know what it is? She leads from the front. She's like a rare commodity in Hollywood.
"She is the female counterpart to a Tom Cruise. She's the producer. She's on set first thing in the morning, last at night, and she's creating what she wants and she's in there with the action. She's in there with the choreography."
Henry believes that Charlize and Tom are unique figures in the movie business.
He said: "She and Tom Cruise are some of the last of the movie stars."
Meanwhile, Charlize recently revealed that her children are unimpressed by her acting career.
The 49-year-old movie star is one of the best-known actresses in Hollywood - but Charlize's kids are underwhelmed by her achievements.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Charlize quipped: "My children have zero respect for me.
"It's just unbelievable, I feel like I'm pretty humble, but every once in a while I'm like 'there's a f****** Oscar right there.' They are so not impressed with me."
Charlize noted that one of her kids is more impressed by Tom and his action movies.
The actress - who has adopted daughters Jackson, 12, and August, nine - said: "My kids were with me when I shot Old Guard 2 and I worked on this incredibly intricate sequence where we brought in this amazing helicopter pilot, Fred North, and we were gonna choreograph this incredible me fighting helicopters and jumping on this real helicopter and hanging off. Shooting 99 percent of it on a real helicopter as it's trying to shake me off like a rag doll.
"We took like two weeks to shoot this sequence and I was like, 'Wow, I just did that, that's really amazing.' And my child yesterday just looked at this poster of Tom Cruise and went, 'It's weird, he looks so much cooler than you did when you were hanging off the helicopter.'"
