Slightly Shocking Duo

The new film, Battle In Seattle, stars Charlize Theron and was directed by Stuart Townsend-her boyfriend! "No matter what I say, people think I am biased because I sleep with him. It was great. He loved directing and I've never seen him so happy before-which hurts my feelings as his girlfriend!" Theron told reporters.

As Townsend's big writing and directing debut, he worked on it for five years. It's about the 1999 World Trade Center Organization meeting in Seattle, reported People.com.

The two have been dating for seven years, and the Irish author turned director said: "She called me by my pet name a couple of times. The crew then started to call me by my pet name and I said to them, 'That's not cool. I'm trying to be a serious director here.'"
