Charlize Theron went on The Howard Stern Show Wednesday to talk about Atomic Blonde—her new movie that looks like John Wick but with a badass but secretly very sad blonde woman instead of a badass but secretly very sad brunette man—and was asked about her romantic life.
Theron broke up with Sean Penn last summer (thank Furiosa), and has apparently decided to get back into the dating scene after nearly about year of enjoying the single life. And, let me tell you, it’s going just great. Like, incredible. I mean, she’s apparently only been on one date with one dude (and the date was maybe, like, a month ago) but the dude seems really cool and it seems like love is definitely in the air.
Here’s what she told Howard:
“I went on a date maybe, like, a month ago. I had a great date, I’ve got to tell you. I had an incredible date. This guy really impressed me. We went for a 9-mile hike in the middle of the night. It was a full moon. But I was really impressed. It was fun…I’m not going to say where we met, but we ended up going for a walk…It was just really fun. He was super funny. I think he’s just a really cool dude. It was super private…that’s what made it so much fun, too.”
Her comment is almost Trumpian in its verbosity, lack of preciseness, and unconvincing excitement, but instead of making me feel like the world is collapsing in on itself, it makes me feel nice and warm inside. Good for Charlize.
