The last time Charlize Theron was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, she shared the guest roster with President Obama. Obama wanted to meet her, and it didn't go all that well, she told Kimmel on Monday's show. "I have this thing that happens when I get nervous," and it involves blurting out "really inappropriate things," she explained. "I don't know how to stop it."
Obama told Theron he was glad to be on Kimmel so he could reach a group of Americans that don't watch much political news, Theron said, "then there was this pause, and I didn't know what to say. All I could come up with was, 'Well, if you're looking for a different demographic, I can take you to a strip club.'" That threw Kimmel for a loop, for a second. "Oh my goodness," he said, then recovered: "And he didn't go?" He didn't. But Kimmel could think of a least one president who would have. Watch. Peter Weber
