As a single mom in her late 40s, actress Charlize Theron is discovering the joys of casual hookups. Charlize has been in several high-profile relationships over the years, but recently, she has focused on being a mom to her two daughters. Though she previously said she doesn’t have as much time for serious relationships, she recently opened up about her sex and dating life during an appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast.
Charlize recently hooked up with a 26-year-old.
The 49-year-old actress admitted that one-night stands are not typical for her — she’s “probably had three one night stands in [her] entire life.” However, she did recently hook up with a much younger man.
“I did just recently f— a 26-year-old and it was really f—ing amazing,” Charlize told Alex. “And I’ve never done that and I was like, ‘Oh, this is great, OK.'”
Something has shifted for Charlize in her 40s.
Though she didn’t elaborate on the “amazing” sexual experience she shared with a younger man, Charlize explained how she’s “found this freedom in [her] 40s.” When Alex asked her to share her best piece of sex advice, Charlize said she is “the last person to ask.” But something that she has observed is that a lot of women focus on pleasing men. Instead, she encouraged them to prioritize themselves.
“Women who come across as confident, women who come across as outspoken, ones that wouldn’t speak up for themselves tend to also be, in bed, people who want to please males,” she said. “I have found this in my experiences with talking to other women about this. Isn’t it strange?”
“So my advice would be this,” she added. “Don’t f—ing do that.”
She is ‘down’ for one-night stands now.
Though she says she doesn’t have a lot of one-night stands, Charlize is open to them at this stage in her life. She explained that she didn’t really have casual sex when she was younger because she was always in a serious relationship, then she adopted her children.
“When I do [have casual sex], I’m like, ‘Oh, f— yeah, I should have done this in my 20s,'” Charlize said. “I was married from the time that I was, like, having sex to the time that I had my last relationship. Then I had children. Who has f— time for dates and shaving and waxing and makeup? And, like, I’ve got two children that have to go to school.”
In 2020, during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Charlize described being less interested in romantic relationships after becoming a mom. “I just think your priorities are in a place that is of high demand,” she said at the time. “It’s a lot of work to be a parent. Part of that is at the end of the day I get to bed and I think, ‘Oh my God, I wouldn’t want this day to be any different.'”
