Charlize Theron "was making out with [herself] at seven".
The Oscar-winning actress – who has recently been romantically linked to fellow Hollywood star Brad Pitt – revealed she mastered her kissing technique by smooching the inside of her elbow as a child.
She confessed: "I was making out with myself at seven, I made out with dolls and with myself in the mirror."
The 43-year-old star – who has denied the rumours linking her to Brad, 55 – also joked that her childhood antics explain why she’s currently single.
Charlize – who has two adopted children, Jackson and August – told ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’: "It’s why I’m single."
Despite being one of the most in-demand actresses in Hollywood, Charlize previously admitted she’s convinced she’ll get "fired" from every movie she works on.
The blonde beauty confessed to having some deep-rooted insecurities about her acting talents.
She said: "I still have this every single time I start a job, ‘I’m gonna get fired. They’re gonna find out I’m a terrible actor. This is gonna be the one. This is gonna be the job where they all find out I’m just a total lie.’"
However, Charlize thinks it’s important that female performers know their true value.
The ‘Tully’ star reflected: "We just need to not be so polite about it and say what we want? … The amount of traction and the amount of women who are being empowered by other women to step forward and actually speak their truth – I know in my life I’ve never seen anything like that.
"This is a rock rolling down a mountain really fast, and I’m quite enjoying watching it."
