Charlize Theron, the 49-year-old actress, recently shared details about her personal life, including a one-night stand with a 26-year-old, during an appearance on Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast. This revelation has sparked a range of reactions online, with some praising her openness and others criticizing her.
Theron, who is promoting Netflix's "The Old Guard 2," confessed that the experience was spontaneous and left her feeling "young again". "I think I've had three one-night stands in my life," she said. "It's not my thing, but this one was just… I was in a different place". She also mentioned that she's been having the kind of sex she never had in her 20s or 30s, which has been exciting.
The actress also didn't hold back her opinions on dating apps, calling the exclusive platform Raya "a f***ing clown show". She advised men to avoid clichés like Burning Man photos, pictures with exes, or vague job titles. She also expressed her aversion to men who claim to be CEOs of businesses they can't explain, stating that it makes her "vagina close".
While some internet users applauded Theron's freedom and confidence, others were less accepting. Some criticized her for being too open about her sexual experiences, while others pointed out the double standard, noting that a man making similar comments would likely face severe backlash.
Theron has had several high-profile relationships, including a nearly decade-long partnership with Irish actor Stuart Townsend and a nearly two-year romance with Sean Penn. She was also rumored to have been involved with Alexander Skarsgård. However, she has never been married. Theron has two adopted daughters and has stated that she is not seeking a serious relationship until her children have left home.
Theron's candid discussion about her sex life and dating preferences highlights a broader conversation about female sexuality and aging in Hollywood. By sharing her experiences, she challenges societal expectations and encourages women to embrace their desires and preferences, regardless of age.
