Charlize Theron insists her boyfriend Stuart Townsend is a great director.

And the actress admits there were perks to being directed by Townsend in their new film Battle in Seattle.

“No matter what I say, people think I am biased because I sleep with him,” Theron joked with reporters in New York City Wednesday. “It was great. He loved directing and I’ve never seen him so happy – which hurts my feelings as his girlfriend!”

The 35-year-old actor made his writing and directorial debut in the new drama about the 1999 World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle where protesters shut down the streets.

Theron, 33, says Townsend spent five years on his work of art. “We would go on vacation to Fiji,” she said, “and I would be like, ‘Romance time!’ But he would have a pile of research and I would be like, ‘Oh my God, this is so not sexy!’ But that passion paid off.”

But it wasn’t always easy working with his glam girlfriend, Townsend said.

“She called me by my pet name a couple of times,” he admitted. “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.’”
