Theron was backstage, and one of Obama’s team members brought her over to meet the president.
As Theron tells it, Obama started to chatting about how his appearance on the show would help him reach a “younger demographic”.
Theron – who recently broke up with Sean Penn – said Obama handled their interaction like a pro.
In a video that’s now going viral (for obvious reasons), Kimmel asks the Academy Award-winning actress about the last time she and President Obama were on his show.
Fury Road star, 39, explained her hilariously freaky reaction to coming face-to-face with the President of the United States. “Oh my God, why did I say that?'”. As Charlize described it, “Everything had stopped around his world to meet me and it was just a lot pressure and I was really nervous”. The actress said that she could not sleep for weeks after the debacle because she was so horrified by her comments every time she shut her eyes!
