Charlize Theron, 49, details 'amazing' one-night stand with a 26-year-old
Theron also said she was having the 'kind of sex I never had in my twenties or in my thirties'.
The Oscar-winning actress, known for her roles in Mad Max: Fury Road and Monster, shared that despite being single and focused on raising her two adopted daughters, she is very satisfied with her sex life.
'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***ing amazing,' she told host Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
'I've never done that. And I was like, 'Oh, this is great. OK.''
Cooper then joked that the man in question was 'the luckiest man walking on this goddamned planet' who would be 'walking different today' knowing he'd been intimate with Theron, to which she laughed: 'He for sure is not, but thank you.'
While the South African-born star, who was previously in relationships with actor Stuart Townsend from 2001 to 2009 and Sean Penn from 2013 to 2015, said she hadn't made a habit of having one-night stands in her life, she was clear he had no regrets about embracing them now.
'I don't have many of them, I'm sitting here sounding like I do. So when I do, I'm like, 'Oh, f*** yeah, I should have done this in my twenties.''
She went on: '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***ing time for dates and shaving and waxing and make-up? And I've got two children that have to go to school.'
She adopted her first daughter Jackson in March 2012 and then August in June 2015, announcing in 2019, that Jackson, then seven, was transgender.
The actress, who is in new Netflix film The Old Guard 2, also emphasised that being single has allowed her to explore sex in a way she hadn't previously.
'I'm having sex now for the first time, like I never had before, because I'm not in relationships,' the FX star shared – who will be seen next summer in Sir Christopher Nolan's upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey.
'That part has been really exciting. But I'm not missing a relationship. I'm not missing the partnership that I think people think you miss when you're me.'
In terms of sex advice when she was asked to proffer it, Theron was equally candid saying she'd observed that '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'.
'And I have found this in my experiences with talking to other women about this,' she continued. 'Isn't it strange? We should be the ones that are like, 'F**k you. I'm gonna have an orgasm.' And yet I, my whole life, was so concerned about [pleasing].'
After Cooper agreed it had been the same for her, Theron continued: 'Okay, so my advice would be this. Don't f***ing do that – for two reasons. You're gonna have better orgasms and guess what? Your man's gonna like that.'
She added that she 'found this freedom' in her forties.
Theron also recently made headlines for slamming the star-studded excess of billionaire Jeff Bezos and fiancée Lauren Sánchez's three‑day £40million Venice wedding. More Trending
The guestlist was a who's who, including the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Oprah Winfrey, Ivanka Trump, Bill Gates, Orlando Bloom and Kim Kardashian.
The actress quipped at her fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project over the weekend: 'I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding.'
After giggles and applause from the audience, with a deadpan expression, she added: 'But that's OK, because they suck and we're cool.'

The 52-year-old told the 75,000-strong Principality Stadium crowd that Cardiff-born singer-songwriter and actress Charlotte Church would be joining them on stage. Back in 2005, the Oasis star told NME magazine of his admiration for the singer and even conceded that he thought the star could step into his shoes. You can get the latest updates from the show here. He said at the time: "It's Charlotte Church for me, man. She could be the next Liam. "She's got a great voice and she ******* has it. She knows how to get ******* hammered and she freaks people out." Tonight, the Mancunian made reference to the Welsh singer once more. Between the distinctive tunes of D'Ya Know What I Mean and Stand By Me, Liam jokingly said: "Charlotte Church will be here to help us sing now."

Netflix has me hooked on this 'naughty' hidden gem Spanish period drama
This week I've been bingeing a new-to-me period drama that's a whole heap of fun, but I somehow missed when it was initially released earlier this year. However, my Netflix recommendations eventually came through for me last weekend when they suggested I try a Spanish historical show. A hidden gem, The Lady's Companion tells the story of chaperone Elena Bianda (Nadia de Santiago), who is hired on a trial basis to find husbands for three wealthy sisters (Isa Montalbán's Cristina, Zoe Bonafonte's Sara and Iratxe Emparán as Carlota) in Madrid by their foreboding father, Don Pedro (Tristán Ulloa). Battling the sharp elbows of her fellow chaperones alongside frustrating relatives of the family's, it soon becomes clear that Elena is also hiding from a past that comes back to bite her, with the audience drawn into a late 19th-century world of love, scandal and comic intrigue. And obviously there are several potential suitors running around, causing chaos, including Álvaro Mel as Santiago, Iván Lapadula as Eduardo and Carloto Cotta as Gabriel. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. I would describe The Lady's Companion (Spanish title: Manual para señoritas) as a mix between Bridgerton and Fleabag with a touch of Amélie's vibrant colour and whimsy, producing an entertaining and period drama in its own right – with a sprinkling of naughtiness. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It has some of the sauciness and irreverence towards the traditional view of these kinds of shows as Bridgerton does; there are certainly some pre-marital bedroom shenanigans going on from as early as the first episode… Our heroine Elena regularly breaks the fourth wall, addressing the camera and talking directly to the audience à la Fleabag (although no one's caught her out yet, like Andrew Scott's Hot Priest). She also argues with the show's narrator when she deems he's stepping out of line. While the abundance of flowers and the characters' gorgeously sumptuous dresses are also reminiscent of Bridgerton, with the brightness turned up to 11 on the colour as well as the quirkiness of fun graphics onscreen, we are also – knowingly – enjoying the artifice and fantasy, as with Jean-Pierre Jeunet's 2001 French film starring Audrey Tauou. The Lady's Companion also reminds me a bit of The Law According to Lidia Poët, although this show has matchmaking and romance more at the centre of it than Lidia Poët's mystery and crime. But Sara's quest to become a doctor also has a clear parallel to Lidia's experience as a female lawyer also trying to succeed in a male dominated profession and society. The show boasts plenty of racy moments alongside the general rebelliousness of its female characters, including its very own raunchy carriage-based rendezvous and plenty of illicit affairs. Anachronistic music choices are also injected, like Bridgerton, to spice up certain scenes, such as Whitney Houston's version of I Will Always Love You and The Turtles' iconic 1967 song Happy Together soundtracking a group dance number. I'm far from the only one enjoying The Lady's Companion either, with it nabbing 89% from fan reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. 'Amazing! I binge watched this. It is witty, funny, romantic, and has a fascinating storyline that forces you to develop an attachment to the characters. It is impossible not to love this series,' enthused Elise Hartley in a Google review as Rawan Najji G added: 'I love it. Can't wait for season TWOOO LETS GOO [si]. I literally finished it in one day y'all 😭😭' Sylvia W also revealed she had 'binged it in less than a week, which is very unusual for me' on Rotten Tomatoes, while Hannah labelled it 'a must watch'. More Trending 'Me and the wife could not stop laughing. We both agree they MUST not leave us hanging and bring it back for season 2,' chimed in Erich H. Sadly, it looks like The Lady's Companion may have fallen foul of the Netflix curse after the streamer confirmed in May that it had been cancelled after one season – despite being shaped around a continuation and ending on a cliff-hanger. Still, if you enjoy escaping into the safe space of a glossy and witty period drama, there are eight episodes waiting for you, nonetheless.

Nile Rodgers to guest-curate display at new David Bowie Centre
London's V&A Museum, which is behind the new David Bowie Centre, said Rodgers has also selected a bespoke Peter Hall suit worn by Bowie during the Serious Moonlight tour for the Let's Dance album. Photographs of Bowie, Rodgers and guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan recording Let's Dance in New York will also feature. The David Bowie Centre will open within the museum's new East Storehouse in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, in Stratford, east London, on September 13, where it will host items including costumes worn during the singer's Ziggy Stardust period. Rodgers said: 'My creative life with David Bowie provided the greatest success of his incredible career, but our friendship was just as rewarding. 'Our bond was built on a love of the music that had both made and saved our lives.' Rodgers produced Bowie's single Let's Dance and the 1983 album of the same name, as well as his 1993 album Black Tie White Noise, with the personal correspondence in the exhibition relating to the latter. Brit Award-winning indie rock band The Last Dinner Party have also curated part of the exhibition, describing Bowie as a 'constant source of inspiration to us'. Their items include Bowie's elaborate handwritten lyrics for his song Win, and notes and set lists for his 1976 Isolar tour. The band said: 'David Bowie continues to inspire generations of artists like us to stand up for ourselves. 'It was such a thrill to explore Bowie's archive, and see first hand the process that went into his world-building and how he created a sense of community and belonging for those that felt like outcasts or alienated – something that's really important to us in our work too.' Access to the David Bowie Centre will be free, with tickets released nearer its opening. The David Bowie archive, which boasts more than 90,000 items, was acquired by the V&A with the help of the David Bowie Estate, the Blavatnik Family Foundation and Warner Music Group. The centre will be spread across three zones, which will include curated displays, audio visual installations and quieter study areas, allowing visitors to view the Bowie archive on their own, from musical instruments to stage models. Small displays will tell the stories behind the singer's albums and also look at his multi-dimensional creative approach, including unrealised projects, collaborations and influences. The East Storehouse opened at the end of May, and features the Order An Object initiative, allowing visitors to pre-book to see an item from its entire collection. The V&A will also open the V&A East Museum in spring 2026, in an area named East Bank. Its main museum is in South Kensington, west London, and it also runs the Young V&A in Bethnal Green, east London.
