Charlize Theron made a risqué comment about her married co-star, Matt Damon, who played her onscreen love interest in Christopher Nolan's newly released adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey.
The Oscar winner - turning 51 next month - marveled at how the 55-year-old Oscar-winning screenwriter went from 200lbs to 167lbs in order to transform into the legendary Greek king of Ithaca, Odysseus.
'Have you seen him? I've seen him without all of that suit on. He's incredible. Incredible,' Theron gushed in an ET interview posted last Saturday.
'I'm like staring at him weirdly. I'm looking at his a** right now. I shouldn't do that! That's just wrong. He looked amazing, yes.'
The Daily Mail has reached out to the South African stunner's rep for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
In the Greek poem, Odysseus had an extramarital affair with Theron's nymph goddess Calypso and fathered two of her children during his seven-year incarceration on Ogygia where she offered him immortality.

And while he's set on reuniting with his wife Penelope in Ithaca, Odysseus was said to have welcomed at least eight more children with characters like the sorceress Circe, Queen of Thesprotia Callidice and Princess of Dodona Euippe.
It's been 26 years since the pair played golfer Rannulph Junuh and his girlfriend Adele Invergordon in Robert Redford's dismally-reviewed flop, The Legend of Bagger Vance.
Theron is happily raising two adopted daughters with her live-in mother Gerda Maritz but she previously dated Sean Penn, Stuart Townsend, Stephan Jenkins and Craig Bierko as well as having had rumored flings with Alex Dimitrijevic, Alexander Skarsgård and Gabriel Aubry.
Meanwhile, Damon romanced Minnie Driver and Winona Ryder before marrying former bartender Luciana Bozán Barroso Damon, who was still married to first husband Arbello Barroso when they met in 2003.
The married couple of 20 years never spend more than two weeks apart and they've welcomed three daughters - Bella, 20, Gia, 17, and Stella, 15 - and he's stepfather to the Argentinian 50-year-old's 27-year-old daughter Alexia.
The Odyssey has already earned back its $250 million budget with an eye-popping $264 million profit in its first four days in theaters.
