Speaking about her relationship with Sean Penn, Charlize Theron told Vogue that she didn’t really see that coming. The two stars have been friends for a long time and, to Theron’s surprise, friendship evolved into something more.
She said: ”What I guess I am trying to say is: A friend kind of stepped into that role of boyfriend, and I really didn’t see it coming.
”Sean and I have known each other for eighteen years. We were just really good friends. And it’s been slow going because you are aware that you could screw that up and lose it. It just kind of naturally happened, and before I knew it, I was in something that was making my life better.”
To each her own, but from the outside it looks like a big mistake. She says she’s known him for 18 years. Didn’t she ever read articles about him and his odd behavior? She should have a long sit-down with Robin Wright.
Both talented actors in their own right (and she is as drop-dead gorgeous as the day is long) but I would have hoped she had a little better taste in men…
