In a new interview with Howard Stern, Charlize Theron recalled an incident when she was “18 or 19” where she was forced to make a quick exit from her very first acting audition after a producer acted inappropriately.

She explained that a modeling agent told her to head to the producer’s house in Los Angeles on a Saturday night, but when she arrived, the producer welcomed her barefoot while wearing pajamas.

“I should’ve [turned around and left]. I didn’t. But he had a very healthy ego, he felt very good about himself,” she said. “Then we sat down and started talking. He sat very close to me, that was strange. The drinking bothered me, I was like, ‘This doesn’t feel right.’”

Though she tried to read him script pages, the producer said he just wanted to talk. “And then at one point he put his hand on my knee and that’s when I just went, ‘Oof.’ And it’s crazy, and girls talk about this, where you just go blank. Like, you don’t know what to do.”

Thankfully, Charlize got up and left the producer’s house.
