The 49-year-old actress revealed all on Call Her Daddy with Alex Cooper, and said she\u2019d recently enjoyed a night of passion with a younger man. \u2018I’m sounding very cocky here, but I think it’s because I found this freedom in my forties where I’m like, \u201cOh my god,\u201d so I just want to say this in perspective,\u2019 she said. \u2018I\u2019ve probably had three one-night stands in my entire life, but I did just recently fuck a 26-year-old. It was really fucking amazing and I\u2019ve never done that. I was like, \u201cOh, this is great.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n Of course, the same as when any woman in the public eye confidently speaks about her sex life, some have attempted to slut-shame her, with one post on X calling \u2018crude\u2019 and \u2018objectifying\u2019. And there have even been comments criticising the age gap. But honestly? Good for her. At 49 and 26, they\u2019re both adults \u2013 and needless to say, she\u2019s only doing what men in Hollywood have done for generations, have casual sex with people younger than them.<\/p>\n But that wasn\u2019t all Charlize spoke about in the bedroom department. She also stressed how important it is to advocate for yourself during sex \u2013 something we couldn\u2019t agree with more. \u2018Women who come across as confident and outspoken tend to also be, in bed, people who wanna please males,\u2019 she explained. \u2018Isn\u2019t it strange? We should be the ones that are like, \u201cFuck you, I\u2019m gonna have an orgasm.\u201d My advice would be this: Don\u2019t fucking do that. For two reasons, you\u2019re going to have better orgasms and your man is going to like that.\u2019<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Though she spoke about her recent encounter, Charlize said she doesn\u2019t have a lot of casual sex. \u2018I sound like I’m sitting here sounding like I do,\u2019 she said. \u2018So when I do, I’m like, \u201cOh, fuck yeah, I should have done this in my 20s.\u201d\u2019 But, she says, the reason she\u2019s embracing it all now is because she finally has the space to do so. \u2018I was married from the time that I was, like, having sex to the time that I had my last relationship,\u2019 she added. \u2018Then I had children. Who has fuck time for dates and shaving and waxing and makeup? And, like, I’ve got two children that have to go to school.\u2019<\/p>\n The actor also credited her daughters Jackson, 12, and August, 9, with being the most important relationship in her life. \u2018It\u2019s the thing that you don\u2019t quite realize until you have kids,\u2019 she said. \u2018I\u2019m not saying that it replaces one love with the other, but it\u2019s such a tremendous love that I do not miss love. I might miss sex, but I\u2019m not missing a relationship.\u2019<\/p>\n Charlize first adopted Jackson in 2012, and then later welcomed August to the family in 2015. In 2018, she told People she\u2019s always seen herself adopting kids. \u2018Even when I was in relationships, I was always honest with my partners, that adoption was how my family would look one day,\u2019 she said. \u2018This was definitely not a second option for me. It was always my first.\u2019<\/p>\n And speaking with Alex, she revealed she\u2019s not going to have a man live with her while her daughters are growing up. \u2018I can tell that no man’s moving into our house while my daughters are there,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n In previous interviews, Charlize has long been honest about the fact she doesn\u2019t ever want to get married. But she has been in long-term relationships. She was with Oscar winner Sean Penn from 2013-2015, after they were friends for two decades. And she was also with Irish actor Stuart Townsend for a decade, after they met while working on the 2002 film Trapped. (Charlize didn\u2019t tie the knot with Stuart, but they did call each other husband and wife and wore commitment rings.)<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_code][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2074353030-scaled.jpg” alt=”Charlize Theron” title_text=”96th Annual Academy Awards – Roaming Red Carpet” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Though her two most famous exes might have been actors, it seems Charlize has now widened her dating pool, as when Alex asked if she\u2019d date \u2018a man in the industry\u2019, Charlize admitted she didn\u2019t think it was \u2018a smart thing\u2019 for her. \u2018I’m not saying it’s impossible,\u2019 she said. \u2018I’m not saying that it’s not binary. I just think that in general it’s not a good thing for me.\u2019<\/p>\n So Charlize has been single for a while \u2013 but, knowing her worth, she\u2019s not prepared to settle. \u2018You gotta come with a lot of game,\u2019 she explained, speaking about her approach to dating on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2021. \u2018The kind of game that\u2019s like, \u201cMy life is really good, so you better be able to bring that and maybe better because I won\u2019t accept anything less.\u201d My life with my children and my incredible adopted family that I have around me, I don\u2019t long for that much.\u2019<\/p>\n Charlize\u2019s attitude to sex and dating is one we can all get behind: don\u2019t accept less than you deserve. <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”] Photos: <\/b>Getty<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’re obsessed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":11731,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"guestgrazia","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11727"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11727\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11734,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11727\/revisions\/11734"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
