Charlize Theron is pulling back the curtain on her dating life.
The South African actress-activist, 49, said she has “zero interest” in romantic relationships with peers in the entertainment industry while speaking to Alex Cooper on the Wednesday, July 2 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast.
“No, my god. No, no, no,” responded Theron when Cooper, 30, asked if she wanted “a man in the industry.”
“I don’t think that dating somebody in my industry is a smart thing,” said the Oscar winner. “I’m not saying it’s impossible. I’m not saying that it’s not binary. I just think that in general it’s not a good thing for me.”

Theron got candid with Cooper about her love life, being a single mother and where the two overlap — or don’t. “I don’t have to share them with somebody,” she said of daughters Jackson and August. “I love that I don’t have to run every f—ing thing by a guy.”
Having “tried dating” recently, the Old Guard star added, “I can tell that no man’s moving into our house while my daughters are there.”
As for dating apps, Theron didn’t hold back. “It’s a f—ing clown show. I’m sorry guys, but please, like, no.” Her turnoffs are specific, she clarified: “No Burning Man photos. No photos of you with other women… I don’t want you shooting a f—ing selfie in your closet of your hand in a jean pocket.” The latter, she quipped, “makes my vagina close.”
She also shared that while she’s open to long-term commitment, that does not include marriage. “I’m not missing a relationship. I’m not missing the partnership that I think people think you miss when you’re me,” said Theron.
“I did just recently f— a 26-year-old and it was really f—ing amazing and I’ve never done that,” she added.
Theron stars in The Old Guard 2, the sequel to 2020’s action-fantasy hit The Old Guard, premiering July 2 on Netflix. The actress-producer also has the films Apex and The Odyssey in the works.
