Warren Beatty, a legendary Hollywood lothario, has slept with a lot of women – just not 12,000 of them.

Warren Beatty On 12,000 Women Rumor

Over the course of his storied career, Beatty has starred in a number of notable films. But, in addition to his reputation on the big screen, is his reputation as a ladies man on and off set. Among his past romantic partners are Natalie Wood, Barbra Streisand, Carly Simon, Janice Dickson and Madonna.

While Beatty, 79, doesn’t deny getting around back in the day, he refutes the notion of sleeping with nearly 13,000 women.

“Think about it, sleeping with 12,775 people,” Beatty told AARP magazine. “That would mean not just that there were multiple people a day, but that there was no repetition.”

“Look, I never mislead anyone,” Beatty added. “And … and I’m a nice guy.”

In 1992, at the age of 54, Beatty settled down and tied the knot with with actress Annette Bening, with whom he has four children — Stephen, 24, Benjamin, 22, Isabel, 19, and Ella, 16.

“I waited a long time to be married,” Beatty explained to AARP. “When you don’t get married until you’re 54 … well, as Arthur Miller said, ‘It comes with the territory.'”

“I always knew I wanted to have children. I wanted to do it well, and I wanted to do it with someone who felt the same way,” Beatty continued. “I’m an attentive father, I have to struggle somewhat not to be overly attentive. It’s a burden to be the child of not only one famous parent, but two.”
