CHARLIZE Theron says she and her boyfriend Stuart Townsend are still “completely crazy” about each other.

The South African actress and the Irish actor have been dating for over nine years and have managed to keep their relationship intact — despite the pressures the of showbiz.

“He’s a remarkable, warm and caring man,” said Charlize. “We’ve been able to make a great life for ourselves — and that can be pretty hard in this business.

“What holds us together is great love, great respect and great friendship.

“After nine years, we’re still completely crazy about each other.”

It was recently reported that Theron is planning to get Townsend tickets for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

“Stuart is a big soccer fan and is already planning on seeing as much of the World Cup as he can,” a source said.

“Charlize really knows nothing about the game but she’s calling in a few favors for tickets for Stuart and a few other friends and family for next summer.”
