    Charlize Theron is on the celebrity dating app Raya - but it hasn't helped her to find love

    The Oscar-winning star was introduced to the app by a friend, but Charlize hasn't had a great experience on Raya so far.


    During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the 49-year-old actress shared: "I am [on Raya, but] I don't do anything with it.

    "A friend put me on it, I went on two dates and then I kind of ... it's like, every guy has a Burning Man picture, and they're a CEO of like, nothing. Or like a fitness ... Then you meet with them and they're not [a CEO]. They just say it up front. Well, why did you put that on your thing?!

    "No, I don't like it."

    Meanwhile, Charlize recently revealed that her children are unimpressed by her acting career.

    The movie star is one of the best-known actresses in Hollywood - but Charlize's kids are underwhelmed by her achievements.

    During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Charlize quipped: "My children have zero respect for me.

    "It's just unbelievable, I feel like I'm pretty humble, but every once in a while I'm like 'there's a f****** Oscar right there.' They are so not impressed with me."

    Charlize - who has adopted daughters Jackson, 12, and August, nine - recalled a recent incident when one of her kids admitted to being impressed by another well-known movie star.

    She shared: "I was picking up my youngest from dance yesterday and we drove past the new Mission Impossible poster where Tom Cruise is hanging onto some yellow plane, and he just looks really cool.

    "My kids were with me when I shot Old Guard 2 and I worked on this incredibly intricate sequence where we brought in this amazing helicopter pilot, Fred North, and we were gonna choreograph this incredible me fighting helicopters and jumping on this real helicopter and hanging off. Shooting 99 percent of it on a real helicopter as it's trying to shake me off like a rag doll.

    "We took like two weeks to shoot this sequence and I was like, 'Wow, I just did that, that's really amazing.' And my child yesterday just looked at this poster of Tom Cruise and went, 'It's weird, he looks so much cooler than you did when you were hanging off the helicopter.'

    "I was just like, 'I hung off the helicopter, [can I have] some credit?'"
