Glenn Close opened young Charlize Theron up to sex talk with mum

Washington: Charlize Theron has revealed that it was Glenn Close, who opened her up to sex talk with her mum, when an early screening of ‘Fatal Attraction’ had left the young South African with a host of questions.

Theron further revealed that she had no idea about sex before she saw the racy 1987 film at a drive-in cinema.


“I grew up in a farm community town and we didn’t have movie theatres. My mom loved movies, and every Friday she would drive us out to a drive-in 45 minutes away from our farm. But we didn’t know what would play,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling Close.

“When the cars started lining up, you would see what was playing and you would see the rating, and my mom would hide me under a blanket if the rating was R, she added.

“I was about eight or nine, and it was Fatal Attraction, and my mom was sitting in the car, and I could feel the panic. And this conversation started, and it ended up being my sex conversation,” she added.

The 36-year-old beauty personally thanked the Hollywood veteran during a recent ‘Actress Roundtable’ staged by industry magazine The Hollywood Reporter.

“It screwed me up, so I can’t have a healthy relationship... You guys (Close and co-star Michael Douglas) were so graphic about it (sex), I was like, ‘OK, what’s happening?’” she added.
