Charlize Theron swooned over Matt Damon’s “incredible” physique in a gushing interview about her “Odyssey” co-star.
When an “Entertainment Tonight” reporter pointed out “the shape” the actor is in at the film’s recent world premiere in London, she pointed out, “I made this movie with him. … I’ve seen him without all of that suit on.”
The actress, 50, gazed into the distance before confessing, “It’s weird. I’m, like, staring at him weirdly. I’m looking at his ass.”
The Oscar winner jokingly reprimanded herself and admitted she “shouldn’t do that” since “that’s just wrong.”
Nevertheless, she subsequently doubled down on how “amazing” the 55-year-old actor looks.
Theron and Damon, respectively, play Calypso and Odysseus in the Christopher Nolan-directed blockbuster, which came out Friday.
The duo have worked together before, co-starring in “The Legend of Bagger Vance” with Will Smith in 2000.
Reuniting on set was “sentimental,” Theron told “Today” show viewers earlier this month.
“We did the first take, and I just went, ‘Oh my God, we did this when we were babies, and here we are, two old humans,’” she recalled during the July 13 interview.
“[He’s] just one of my favorite people,” the Golden Globe winner added. “It’s rare that you get to do something like that, you know, to experience the same experience, like 30 years later, and with someone as great and as wonderful.”
At the time, Theron continued, “He’s just good people. He’s lovely people to be around, and we’re all so happy for him that he got this opportunity [to play the titular role]. A better man couldn’t have gotten it.”
When the pair filmed “The Legend of Bagger Vance,” Damon had yet to meet his now-wife, Luciana Barroso, in Miami.
Damon started dating the then-bartender in 2003, with the “Martian” star popping the question two years later.
He and Barroso, 49, walked down the aisle in December 2005 in New York City and have since welcomed three daughters — Isabella, 20, Gia, 17, and Stella, 15.
Damon, who also adopted his partner’s daughter Alexia, 27, from a previous romance, told People last week that family dinners are a “non-negotiable” in their home.
Theron, for her part, has adopted two children — Jackson and August — whom she raises as a single mom.
Her star-studded dating history includes Third Eye Blind singer Stephan Jenkins, “Trapped” co-star Stuart Townsend and actor Sean Penn.
