Warren Beatty Wants You To Know He's Not a Slut

Warren Beatty, 79, recently sat down for an interview with AARP to talk about his sex life. Here's what he had to say:

On his film Rules Don't Apply:
"I — and the character of Frank — come from a Protestant American background. The consequences of American Protestant puritan sexual guilt and repression, which I feel is the theme of the movie, is something I have a strong interest in."

Interviewer: "So you're saying you — you? — felt hindered by your sexual puritanism when you came to Hollywood?"

Beatty: "What do you think? The answer is yes."


On biographer Peter Biskind's claim the Beatty has slept with 12,775 women:
"Think about it, sleeping with 12,775 people. That would mean not just that there were multiple people a day, but that there was no repetition."

On why his exes don't hate him:
"Look, I never misled anyone. And … and I'm a nice guy."

On marriage:
"I waited a long time to be married. When you don't get married until you're 54 … well, as Arthur Miller said, 'It comes with the territory.' You're participating in a profession that, for obvious reasons, needs to heighten elements of sexuality, [especially] if you delay marriage a long time...My delay in forming a family, marriage, was that I felt, or maybe I would say feared, that there was an element of impermanence to relationships that was somewhat new."
