Charlize Theron gave President Barack Obama a bizarre suggestion for how he can reach a more diverse demographic.
The 39-year-old actress admitted on Monday's "Jimmy Kimmel
Live" that she cringes every time she thinks of what she said to the
Commander in Chief.
Theron recalled that Obama said he enjoyed being on Kimmel's show
because he reaches a younger audience. The "Mad Max: Fury Road" star
then blurted out, "Well, if you're looking for a different demographic, I
can take you to a strip club."
Mortified, she added, "I couldn't sleep for four weeks because
every time I closed my eyes, I went 'Agh, oh my god, I said that.'"
Kimmel joked, "If you said that to [former] President Clinton, you
would probably still be there."
Apparently, Theron puts her foot in her mouth often when in uncomfortable
situations.
"I have this thing when I'm nervous that I will say something
really inappropriate and it's like tourettes," she confessed. "I
don't know how to stop it. It's like verbal diarrhea. [Obama] waited to meet
me. Everything had stopped around his world to meet me and it was just a lot of
pressure."
Theron -- who recently broke up with Sean Penn -- said Obama handled
their interaction like a pro. "He was so gracious and funny," she
continued. "And you could tell I was really nervous and he was nothing but
lovely."
