Charlize Theron is afraid that her on-screen liasons with women will lead to her being unwittingly typecast as a lesbian or bisexual type.

After all this excitement with members of her own sex (Christina Ricci in Monster and Penelope Cruz in Head In The Clouds), Charlize yearns for some romantic drama with men before things slip too far.

Femalefirst quotes a source: "Charlize has noticed that she's getting offered a lot of scripts which would have her playing a lesbian or feature her kissing another woman.

"She doesn't intend on making a name for herself in that way. She'd love to do a real romantic drama next - but preferably with a man."
