Theron surprised by Townsend's love

Charlize Theron was surprised to find love with Stuart Townsend - because she was initially adamant he wasn't the man for her.

Theron wasn't looking for love when she met Townsend on the set of 2002 movie Trapped, but she insists fate threw them together.

She tells British Elle magazine: "At first neither of us would admit to being a couple, but fate kept conspiring to put us together."

"It was just a couple of weeks into the relationship, but I knew I was falling in love. We had a bottle of wine and just talked and talked. I stood up and said: 'Let's pack up your stuff and ship everything to LA.' We spent all night packing and that was it."
