Charlize Theron Isn't a Fan of Romance

Charlize Theron, the ever-candid Oscar-winner, is making waves with her unfiltered take on romance. The 50-year-old actress recently shared her thoughts on intimacy during an episode of Kareem Rahma's 'SubwayTakes' series, leaving fans both amused and intrigued.

In her typically straightforward style, Theron admitted she's not into the whole "making love" narrative. "I don't want you to make anything with me... just f--- me," she declared. Her statement quickly caught fire online, becoming a topic of lively discussion.

“All the ladies know what I'm talking about,” Theron added, emphasizing a shared sentiment among many women.

'I Don't Want You to Make Anything With Me'

Theron didn't hold back as she elaborated on her feelings about romantic clichés. She described men's attempts to "make love" as a major "ick," humorously stating it makes her "dry-heave." "Just don't f------- say it, because my v------ closes up," the South African star bluntly explained.

Instead, the 'Mad Max' actress prefers more straightforward language. "I want you to do something with me," she said before adding with a laugh, "Please don't make anything – especially not love."

Charlize Theron Confessed She Slept With a 26-Year-Old

On a separate occasion, Theron opened up on Alex Cooper's 'Call Her Daddy' podcast about her personal life, revealing she once had a fling with a 26-year-old. "It's not because I don't want to be in relationships, but I'm seeing things for what they are," she shared.

Reflecting on her past, Theron noted she's historically attracted to narcissists and used to lose herself in relationships. Despite this, she cheerfully recounted her recent encounter with a younger man, describing it as "really f------ amazing."

While she has dated high-profile names like Sean Penn and Stuart Townsend, the actress is more focused on her daughters, Jackson, 12, and August, 9. She remains uninterested in marriage and candidly admits she doesn't have time for dating, steering clear of dating apps.
