Charlize Theron appeared on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast during her press tour for “The Old Guard 2” and was asked about an early audition in which a male director made a sexual pass at her. It’s an incident the Oscar winner first revealed on “The Howard Stern Show” in April 2019. Theron said she was told to go to a director’s house on a Saturday night for a movie audition. He allegedly answered the door in pajamas, then proceeded to “put his hand on my knee.” She immediately got up and left.
“I didn’t know what the audition process looked like,” Theron now said on “Call Her Daddy” when asked about the audition. “I didn’t know how you went about being an actor… [my agency] said there was a casting for this movie and you’ll have to go on a Saturday night. It was this director’s house. The little voice inside me definitely said, ‘This isn’t right.’ But then, the other voice in me says, ‘Well, I don’t know. Maybe it is right.’”
Theron has never said the name of the director because “I don’t want the story to be about him. It’s not because I’m protecting him or anything.
“He got nervous for a little bit. He heard me tell the story and he knew it was about him, and he wrote me a pretend letter trying to explain his behavior and how I must have misunderstood it, which is classic, isn’t it? It’s so classic,” Theron continued, claiming the director “panicked” about her going public.
“I won’t even fucking say your name because you know you’re the scumbag. You know it’s you,” Theron said. “If anybody ever asked me about him, I would be completely honest — and he knows that. I kind of like that he’s got to be on a hot seat. He doesn’t know when it’s going to come. I kind of like that a little more.”
The Oscar winner concluded, “I will not let a motherfucker fuck with me any day of the week, but when somebody catches you off guard like that… I was never going to get a part that night. I knew it as soon as I left. I wasn’t there because I had some value that I was going to bring to his movie. I was only valued for one thing.”
