Charlize Theron has recalled showing off her catwalk strut in a fancy hotel, only to "fall" into the elevator in a "hilarious" fashion.

The Hollywood actress is renowned for appearing in the famous Dior advertisement in which she impressively strides through a glamorous Parisian apartment stripping off until she's naked.

Charlize has recalled re-enacting the walk at an exclusive hotel only for it to go horribly wrong.

"Oh, God. That f**king walk was so hard to do. I was in a hotel recently, all dressed up to go down to a function, and I did the walk in the corridor leading to the elevator.

"But I was wearing patent shoes, and they got stuck to each other, and I ended up falling into the lift as the doors opened. The whole thing got caught on security camera. It was hilarious," she laughed in an interview with the latest UK edition of Vogue.

Charlize resides in Los Angeles where the weather is renowned for being sunny. The blonde beauty has joked about her crazy lifestyle there.

"God, I love this weather," she chimed about the rain outside during the interview. "We all live in these houses here with fireplaces that we only get to light about four times a year.

"I love this rain. I can curl up at home and light a whole load of candles and the fire, and cook.

"That's the kind of wild life I have."
