Actress Charlize Theron fielded an unexpected question at a press conference in Venice for her new film, The Burning Plain: a marriage proposal!

"I would like to ask you something Charlize Theron," the reporter began. "First of all, I really like you so much and have a lot of respect for you but I would like to marry you -- and I have a question: which side [of the bed] do you prefer to sleep [on]?"

The 33-year-old Academy Award winner -- whose longtime boyfriend is actor/director Stuart Townsend -- quipped: "The side that you are not on."

The reporter was rebuffed. "Oh, then I think it doesn't work," he said.

"Security! Security! Security!" Theron joked. "The man with the red... you are very cute, but you know my boyfriend will kill you."

"Yeah, I am married, I am taken, whatever," she added. "How much money do you have?"

"I am poor," the journalist responded.

But Theron still entertained the offer.

"See, we are gonna have to talk about that," she said. "I will talk to you later. I have something for you, you are ready? Ananas [meaning pineapple]. There you go, sit down."
