Charlize Theron is an Oscar-winner, a style icon and an outspoken voice for empowerment.

She's also "shockingly" single and would love for for someone to step up to the plate.

The actress, 43, joked to Entertainment Tonight that she's been single for "10 years" and that "It's not a long shot. Somebody just needs to grow a pair and step up."

"I'm shockingly available," she added. "I've made it very clear."

Theron obviously hasn't really been single for a decade, she was last linked to fellow Oscar-winner Sean Penn, though the duo broke it off in 2015.

Theron's "shocking" interview comes in advance of her movie opposite funnyman Seth Rogen called "Long Shot."

Rogen commented in the same interview what it was like to work alongside the actress. Given her history as a style icon, Rogen said he's been stepping up his fashion game at events.

"I was highly aware I was going to be standing next to Charlize for a lot of pictures. I always have that image in my head of us like Beyonce next to Ed Sheeran in a T-shirt and I was like, 'I don't want that," he said.

Theron is never one to mince words. Recently on Instagram, she posted a delightful photo, eating ribs with the caption, "Austin, I f----- love you. #SXSW #LongShot."

Ladies and gents, will a real person please stand up!

Oh and this.
