Charlize Theron Details One-Night Stand With 26-Year-Old

Charlize Theron once again proves that age is nothing but a number, especially when it comes to enjoying life and feeling great. In a refreshingly honest admission on the July 1 episode of Call Her Daddy, the Oscar-winning actress got real about an intimate encounter she recently had and how it actually made her feel more empowered than before.

Theron, at 49, remains one of Hollywood's most unapologetically daring and confident women. And now she's making it clear to the world that she's owning her sexuality, and doing it in her own damn time, in her own damn way. Sharing with podcast host Alex Cooper, the "Atomic Blonde" actress revealed, "I've probably had three one-night stands in my entire life,," before confessing, "I I did just recently f--k a 26-year-old." Then the punchline that made everyone pay attention: "It was really f---ing amazing and I've never done that. I was like, 'Oh, this is great.'"

Many would probably hesitate to share such a personal story, but Theron opened up the conversation, proving just how much sexual freedom can look like for women of any age. Indeed, the past decade has ushered in a change in her view of intimacy, and self-advocacy in the bedroom, she added, has been a game changer. "I'm the last person who people should come to for sex tips," she quipped. Theron is very in touch with her wants and needs, and has learned to express them, a change she says has transformed sex from downright miserable to pretty pleasurable.

That Theron merely announced her truth is a statement in and of itself. In an industry (and society) that frequently pushes aside women's sexuality once they pass a certain age, Charlize is flipping the script with confidence. Her honesty and humor on the subject resonate not only because of her fame, but because they're based in truth, liberation, and the right to claim one's pleasure as one's own. In proper Charlize form, it's about controlling the narrative. And this time, she is making sure her story is as bold as the woman telling it.
