Charlize Theron recently sat down for an interview with Esquire magazine, where she really opens up a lot about Sean Penn. Like more than anyone should talk about him in an interview. The magazine quotes her as follows:
"We've been friends for twenty years He was married, I was in a long-term relationship, our spouses -- not regularly, but we were in each other's lives. I think our friendship stemmed from mutual respect -- more on my end, because I really didn't have a body of work twenty years ago, but my love and passion for making films -- that was our common ground. And also, Sean liked to have conversations outside of just making movies. That's sometimes hard to find among friends here, and that's where our friendship really blossomed.
A lot of people want to tell you the answer to solving all of Africa's problems from what they've seen on CNN. Sean is not that guy. When he started working in Haiti and I started working on the AIDS front in South Africa, we spent a lot of time talking about those worlds. I think that for both of us there was never a moment where we thought that this -- what we have today -- would ever even be a possibility. Evereverever. I think we're both finding ourselves at this moment in our lives kind of shocked. Both of us. Just when you think you know how things are supposed to go down, life just kicks you in the ass and guess what? You don't have a clue.
It is nice to be in something where the friendship came first. I've never had that. There's a weight to the relationship already that I don't think you have when you just meet somebody and enter a relationship. There's a foundation of twenty years that the two of us have shared with each other in all these different ways that is really the foundation of something that has brought a lot of beautiful things into my life. We get so stuck in wanting to predict the future that we forget the moment that we're in. And the moment that we're in is just really good.
The marriage thing is always so strange to me anyway. I love the possibility of anything, but I'm really enjoying myself and the everyday moment and how that coincides with my son and my life and my friends. I'm a very, very, very lucky girl. Very lucky. He's hot. He is hot. How do you say that in an interview? You're a forty-year-old woman sounding like a sixteen-year-old. Theres something beautiful about that, but you lack the articulation of really saying what it's like when somebody walks into your life and makes you see something that you really never thought you'd be able to see."
Read even more of Charlize's thoughts about Sean Penn at Esquire. After reading all of that, I think these two crazy kids might just work. I think Sean Penn has finally found someone that loves him as much as he loves himself!
