Charlize Theron: Kisses woman for $140,000
On Thursday actress Charlize Theron kissed a woman on and raised $140,000 in the process for charity.
The actress, who romanced Christina Ricci in Monster, helped take over hosting duties at the OneXOne charity event in San Francisco, California after Matt Damon pulled out at the last minute. In the true sense Theron made the evening’s auction a memorable one for one female fan.
Offering a 2010 trip to her native South Africa that included World Cup soccer tickets and a meet-and-greet with Nelson Mandela, Theron was frustrated when bidding stalled at $37,000 that was far below what actor Jeremy Piven had just raised.
She growled and requested for higher bids.
She then upped the stakes and threw in a seven-second kiss, which sparked a bidding frenzy.
However it was an unnamed woman who landed the prize, bidding $140,000 and locking lips with the Oscar winner for twenty seconds.
Matt Damon was forced to pull out of the charity fundraiser at the last minute due to a family emergency.
