Did Charlize Theron and Seth Macfarlane Ever Date? the Truth Behind the Infamous Rumor

No. Despite extensive paparazzi coverage of their 2013 dinners in Los Angeles, the pair maintained an entirely platonic friendship and professional relationship centered around the production of A Million Ways to Die in the West.

The phrase originated from an anonymous source quoted by E! News in April 2013. The insider used the line to shut down dating rumors following a dinner at Matsuhisa, unintentionally triggering a viral wave of mockery over the idea that Theron could be outside anyone's dating criteria.

When A Million Ways to Die in the West debuted in theaters in May 2014, Theron was in a high-profile relationship with actor Sean Penn. The two dated from December 2013 until their split in June 2015.
