Charlize Theron recently admitted to sleeping with a 26-year-old, and people have some strong opinions on this.
Theron, who has worked in well-known movies such as Mad Max, Monster and Mighty Joe Young, recently revealed all while appearing on the famous Call Her Daddy podcast.
The 49-year-old explained that she’s been having the best sex of her life, and one of those encounters was with a man 23 years her junior.
The actress was previously in a relationship with fellow actor Stuart Townsend from 2001 to 2009, but has said she doesn't want another partner until her two adopted daughters leave home.

But having kids or not, she's still having a sex life and a good one at that.
The star once dated Sean Penn, 64, from 2013 until 2015, and recently split up with model Alex Dimitrijevic who she was with for around two years.
Now, she's keeping it casual.
Recalling a recent sexual encounter, the actress said on the latest episode of the podcast: "I've probably had three one-night-stands in my entire life. But I did just recently f**k a 26-year-old and it was really f**king amazing."
She added: "I've never done that. And I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. OK."
As for if she's usually 'down for a one night stand,' she replied: "Yes. I don't have many of them. I'm sitting here sounding like I do. So when I do, I'm like, ‘Oh, f**k yeah, I should have done this in my twenties."
She explained that she was married for a long time, however it's not certain who she was talking about.
After having children, she explained that there just wasn't any time for her to dedicate to going out and getting ready and doing all the things that single people generally tend to get up to.
But now, her sex life is back in action and people love it.
One person wrote online in response: "Literally who knew we needed Charlize so much!! She is so authentic and refreshing! We will need a second interview in a year."
And another said: "I didn’t know much about her but I have so much respect for her. Love someone modeling living solo as I am in the same boat and loving it!"
Charlize went on to talk about her past relationships and how she's different now.
She said: “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**king time for dates and shaving and waxing and makeup? And I've got two children that have to go to school.”
But now at nearly 50, she's enjoying herself.
She said: "I'm having the kind of sex I never had in my twenties or in my thirties."
While it's great, she did go on to reveal that she's not looking for something serious, stating: "That part has been really exciting. But I'm not missing a relationship. I'm not missing the partnership that I think people think you miss when you're me."
She continued: "I'm having sex now for the first time, like I never had before, is because I'm not in relationships."
As for how she's dipping her toes into the dating pools, she's now on the celebrity dating app, Raya.
She explained: "I am on the apps, but I don't use the apps. So I have a few friends that are very, very good. And one of them I know is listening to this right now, who always is like, okay, you need to come here right now and you need to meet this person. And I'm very grateful for her.
"I have not been brave enough on a lot of her offers, but recently I have and it has paid off tremendously."
As for why she doesn't want a relationship, she explained that while people say that when women don't want to be with someone that 'something must be wrong', there's nothing about a relationship she's interested in.
She concluded: "I literally can't imagine a man moving into our house and me sharing my closet. I just don't see that happening."
