“Why not?” Theron responded in the clip above. “It’s so strange when we speak so much about [someone’s sexuality]. It should be normalized by now. It’s something I perceive is not represented enough in cinema and I feel that when you make movies, if you’re going to hold that mirror up and reflect community then you should reflect society.”

Wondering if this was a case of art imitating life, Cohen followed up Theron’s response by asking her, “Have you ever swum in the lady pond?” (the host’s favorite euphemism for a female sexual encounter).

Her character, Lorraine Broughton, is double attraction, and Theron said on Sunday's "Watch What Happens Inhabit with Andy Cohen" that it's significant that bisexuality is reflected on screen.

"It should be normalized by now," the actress explained. "It’s something that I feel is not represented enough in cinema, and I feel that when you make movies, if you’re going to hold that mirror up and reflect society, then you should convey society."
