A reporter made
Charlize Theron blush at the Venice Film Festival in Italy on Thursday by asking her to marry him and then quizzing her about sleeping arrangements.
The actress was promoting new film
The Burning Plan at a press conference when the unnamed reporter plucked up courage to pop the question. He asked, "I really like you so much and have a lot of respect for you but I would like to marry you - and I have a question: which side (of the bed) do you prefer to sleep on?"
But Charlize replied immediately, "The side that you are not on," before joking, "Security! Security! Security!" She then added, "You are very cute, but you know my boyfriend (Stuart Townsend) will kill you."
She then further confused the world's press by stating, "I am married, I am taken, whatever."
