A few days ago, I was just sitting around idly, wondering who Charlize Theron was dating. I think my wondering began when I saw some recent bitchface photos of her, and I was thinking that Charlize might be trying to pull an Uma Thurman, and only date rich, powerful, successful businessmen at this point. Turns out, Charlize is no Uma. According to Life & Style’s sources, Charlize is now coupled up with a 45-year-old model/actor named Eric Thal. These are a few of the photos we have of him:

He’s kind of cute. After the Irish hotness that was Stuart Townsend, I was kind of hoping for another really gorgeous hookup, but apparently not. Life & Style’s source – who is identified as a friend of Eric’s – claims that Eric and Charlie “have a lot in common. He’s a farmer who grows all his own vegetables, and Charlize grew up on a farm in South Africa. The two like to escape Hollywood and go to his farm in upstate New York.” Well… he sounds nice and low-key. Maybe that’s what she likes.
