Hollywood star Charlize Theron spoke out this week to reveal the one rule she has for anyone who wants to date her.
While appearing on “The Drew Barrymore Show” on Thursday, the 45 year-old Academy Award-winner let it be known that she isn’t actively seeking out a relationship right now.
“I’ve been on a few dates, but I haven’t dated anybody for over five years,” Theron said. “… I’m open when friends of mine are like, ‘You should go on a date. You should meet this guy.’ I’m always open.”

While Theron isn’t actively looking to date at the moment, she still has some rules for her ideal suitors.
“I feel like I’m in a place in my life where you gotta come with a lot of game,” Theron explained. “Not the kind of game that we think of, the kind of game that’s like, my life is really good, so you better be able to bring that and maybe better. ‘Cause I just won’t accept anything less.”
She went on to explain that her standards are so high because her life with her two children, Jackson, 8, and August, 5, is so amazing.
“My life with my children and my incredible adopted family that I have around me, I don’t long for that much. I can honestly say this, on my life, I don’t feel lonely,” she said. “Once I had my children, it’s not that it replaces something or that it makes you less interested in something. I was just two seconds ago talking about a dude that I thought was really hot. I’m still firing on all cylinders.”
“I just think your priorities are in a place that is of high demand, because it’s a lot of work to be a parent,” Theron continued. “Part of that is, at the end of the day, I get in bed and I go I wouldn’t want this day to be anything different.”
The star has made spending time with her children the focus of her quarantine, rather than prioritizing finding romance.
“There’s a part of all of this that is so devastating. We are really, truly living in a whole new world. When I look at my children and how they are adapting to it so well,” Theron said. “The other day I walked out of the house and I had to walk back into the house because I forgot my mask. And I realized my children don’t forget their masks, they literally always have their masks on them… They have just embraced that this is what their world is right now.”
“I have to say even the homeschooling when we went into the first lockdown it was really, really hard because they are kids right? And so they just don’t fully comprehend,” she added. “But by now they figured out, ‘OK this is what it is and it’s really different.’ They’ve kind of embraced this now. They still can share they miss their friends and that they miss going to school, but at the same time they are just not dwelling on it, which is so incredible. They are just moving on with it.”
