About to turn 50 years old, Charlize Theron confessed that she had sex with a 26-year-old man.

Charlize Theron, Oscar winner and renowned for her talent and versatility, surprised with intimate and uninhibited statements during an interview on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, hosted by Alexandra Cooper. At 49 years old, Theron, the South African actress, reflected on her sex life, her single motherhood, and her firm decision to live as she describes "with total freedom."

"I don't need a man in my life," she stated with conviction. The Monster actress explained that she is currently going through a stage of personal liberation, where full enjoyment and connection with her own desire are at the center of her life. "I'm having the kind of sex I never had in my twenties or thirties," the 49-year-old actress confessed.

In that sense, Charlize did not shy away from details: she revealed that she recently had a sexual encounter with a 26-year-old man, something she had never experienced before. Referring to her adventure with the young man 23 years younger than her, she said: "It was truly amazing," she assured with laughter, adding that she prefers to connect with people outside the film industry, although dating apps haven't been her strength in these cases.

During the interview, she also spoke about the stigma that, in her view, still persists regarding women without partners. "People always think there's something wrong with a woman who doesn't have a partner. But it's rarely considered that she might be living her truth," she expressed, questioning the social pressures surrounding female singleness.

Theron also referred to her childhood in South Africa and how her family environment, marked by alcoholism, shaped her life forever. She shared that this experience, along with challenges in the film industry, strengthened her decision to raise her daughters alone. "I love not having to share my children with anyone," she declared, making it clear that her family model is a deliberate choice that she decided to pursue.

Finally, she revealed a key turning point: a past romantic crisis led her to therapy. "I went to therapy to try to save a relationship, but I ended up saving myself," she finally confessed.
