Charlize Theron is not often one to kiss and tell, but she recently enjoyed some time with a younger man.

When Theron, 49, appeared on the Wednesday, July 2 episode of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast to promote her new movie The Old Guard 2, the Academy Award-winning actress revealed that she recently hooked up with a 26-year-old man.

“I almost choked. I am the last person to ask,” Theron said, when Cooper, 30, asked her for her best sex tip, after a prolonged conversation about her approach to dating these days. “I’m sounding very cocky here, but I think it’s because I found this freedom in my forties where I’m like, ‘Oh my god,’ so I just want to say this in perspective. 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—— amazing and I’ve never done that and I was like, ‘Oh, this is great okay.’ “

“Let me just say that 26-year-old is the luckiest f—— man walking on this god damn planet,” Cooper, 30, responded. “He’s walking different today knowing.”

“He is for sure is not, but thank you,” Theron added.

Theron, who is a mother to daughters Jackson, 12, and August, 9, has been famously single for a number of years after dating actors like Sean Penn, Stuart Townsend and Craig Bierko, as well as Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins. While the actress has long been committed to never getting married, she told Cooper elsewhere during their conversation that she is happy to have a one-night stand, although she said she does not “have many of them.”

“I sound like 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 20s,’ ” Theron said of casual sex. “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—- time for dates and shaving and waxing and makeup? And, like, I’ve got two children that have to go to school.”

While Theron did not share any more information concerning her recent 26-year-old date, she expressed a desire for women to prioritize their own pleasure in bed more frequently. “I think this is kind of like a thread throughout our conversation,” she said. “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. Like, and I have found this in my experiences with talking to other women about this. Isn’t it strange? We should be the ones that are like, ‘F— you. I’m gonna have an orgasm.’ “

“So my advice would be this. Don’t f—— do that for two reasons. You’re gonna have better orgasms and guess what? Your man’s gonna like that,” she added. “Practice helps. You have to practice, and then you’ll figure it out. In a safe way, please.”

The Old Guard 2 is streaming on Netflix now.
