Spain is renowned for its gastronomic excellence, a sentiment echoed by luminaries such as Bruce Springsteen, Steven Spielberg, and Barack Obama.
Even they, during their sojourns in Barcelona for the artist's concert, couldn't resist the allure of the city's finest dining establishments. With such a strong gastronomic identity, it's no surprise that many celebrities hold Spain in high regard as one of their preferred epicurean destinations. Charlize Theron, the acclaimed actress, is one such aficionado.
Indulging in delectable dishes is a genuine pleasure for the actress, and she has made no secret of her culinary passion. For years, she has openly declared that she'd "do anything to eat," diligently crafting lists of restaurants to explore in every city she visits.
A viral fragment from a decade ago, a testament to the enduring power of social media, features Charlize Theron's appearance on David Letterman's iconic late-night show. During the interview, Theron passionately discussed her love for gastronomy and, in particular, her deep affection for Spanish cuisine.
"I have a passionate love for Spanish food. If I could marry it, I would," Theron declared with unreserved enthusiasm. Playfully, the host quizzed her on the legality of marrying food in Spain, to which the actress responded with a hint of humor, stating, "Anything is legal in Spain. I'm sure you can marry a croquette if you want."
Theron's genuine affection for Spanish cuisine is palpable, and her nearly native pronunciation of 'croquette' has drawn considerable attention from viewers who chanced upon the video. It's evident that her fondness for Spanish food is not merely for show but a true and lasting connection, quite distinct from the presenter's, who, while not lacking in enthusiasm, doesn't quite share the same level of dedication to Spanish gastronomy.
