Act like it\u2026 Have some class.\u201d<\/p>\n Later in the episode, Kelly implied that Theron may be misrepresenting<\/a> her sexuality and exaggerating sexual encounters for attention.<\/p>\n \u201cI kind of call bulls\u2013t, because I believe that Charlize Theron probably prefers women. That\u2019s my belief. Okay, I\u2019m entitled to my opinion, and there\u2019s no reason to get into the details as to why I believe it, but I believe it,\u201d Kelly said.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAnd I don\u2019t think that she\u2019s telling the truth about the 26-year-old.\u201d<\/p>\n Theron, who is currently promoting the upcoming Netflix film \u201cThe Old Guard 2,\u201d told Cooper during their conversation: \u201cI did just recently f\u2013k a 26-year-old, and it was really amazing\u2026 I\u2019ve never done that.

Good for you,\u201d Kelly remarked.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a very strange thing to see one of our best known actresses sit down like that, with the crossed legs, with this sex podcaster, talking about their orgasms and who they f\u2019ed. It\u2019s just really off-putting.\u201d<\/p>\n Theron adopted her eldest child, Jackson, in 2012, and her second daughter, August, in 2015.
