Charlize Theron is opening up about her dating preferences.
The actress, 49, said she has no interest in dating someone who also works in the entertainment industry while guesting on a recent episode of Call Her Daddy.
“I don’t think that dating somebody in my industry is a smart thing,” Theron said. “I’m not saying it’s impossible. I’m not saying that it’s not binary. I just think that in general it’s not a good thing for me.”
The actress, who is a mother to daughters Jackson Theron and August Theron, said she has been trying out dating lately.
“I can tell [you] that no man’s moving into our house while my daughters are there,” Theron said.
The actress also revealed she recently had a hookup with a 26-year-old.
“I’m sounding very cocky here, but I think it’s because I found this freedom in my 40s where I’m like, ‘Oh my God,’ so I just want to say this in perspective,” Theron said. “I’ve probably had three one-night stands in my entire life, but I did just recently f*** a 26-year-old and it was really f****** amazing and I’ve never done that and I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. OK."”
Theron stars in the new film The Old Guard 2, which is available to stream on Netflix.
