The “Old Guard 2” star opens up about the joy of late-in-life confidence, an “amazing” one-night stand with a 26-year-old, and what turns her off on dating apps in a no-holds-barred conversation.
Charlize Theron is proving age is just a number—especially when it comes to confidence, sexuality, and saying exactly what she means.
In a refreshingly unfiltered interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the 49-year-old Oscar winner and Old Guard 2 lead opened up about her life in her late 40s, her evolving views on sex, and a particularly memorable night with a man nearly half her age.
“I did just recently f––– a 26-year-old, and it was really f–––ing amazing,” Theron told host Alex Cooper. “I’ve never done that. And I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. Okay.’”
While she admitted to only having had three one-night stands in her life, the Atomic Blonde star described this recent encounter as a liberating experience. “I have found this freedom in my 40s where I’m like, ‘Oh my God,’” she shared. “I should have done this in my 20s.”
But between raising children and managing her career, spontaneity wasn’t always an option. “Who has f–––ing time for dates and shaving and waxing and makeup? I’ve got two children that have to go to school the next [day],” she quipped.
Theron also used the platform to drop some no-nonsense advice to women—particularly around intimacy. “Women who come across as confident and outspoken tend to also be, in bed, people who want to please males. Isn’t it strange?” she said. “We should be the ones that are like, ‘F––– you, I’m going to have an orgasm.’”
Her advice? “Don’t f–––ing do that. For two reasons: You’re going to have better orgasms, and your man is going to like that.”
When the conversation shifted to dating apps, Theron—who’s dabbled on platforms like Raya—was hilariously blunt. “No Burning Man photos. No photos of you with other women. I don’t care,” she said. “And don’t tell me you’re a CEO, because you’re not… I’m a 50-ass-year-old woman telling you, ‘Don’t do it.’ Girls don’t like it. They don’t f–––ing like it.”
Theron also recounted some of her biggest visual turn-offs: “I don’t want you shooting a f–––ing selfie in your closet of your hand in a jean pocket… It makes my vagina close. I just can’t.”
With The Old Guard 2 on the horizon and her spirit clearly undimmed, Charlize Theron continues to be a force of nature—on screen and off. Her latest revelations show a woman fully in charge of her life, her body, and her standards.
