“We argue about whether or not we should fast [forward],” Sean said. “I don’t really want to hear the conversations. I want to know the decisions. Is he going to decide on this one or this one and I want to see someone cry. And then see someone get ecstatic, and then see them cry.”

Good thing there are only smiles in his relationship with Charlize. The two showed theirundeniable affection for each other at the theater. The actor lovingly held on to his blondebeauty's hand as they made their way down the red carpet.

The 39-year-old actresslooked like her stunning self in a multi-colored mini dress that featured aplunging neckline. Her 54-year-old beau stuck to a more classic look in an allblack suit. The couple attended the Hollywood event with Sean's son Hopperwhile Charlize's little one Jackson stayed home.

Dating for nearly a year,the duo seems to be head over heels for each other. "I'm surprised to bein love," Sean recently told Esquire. "To run into somebody now whoyou care about is a much more passionate, deeper, truer and – God! – a muchhappier feeling."

He went on gushing, "It's a lot moreromantic and a lot more fulfilling to be in a relationship and to think you'rea good person within it." The star even said he'd get married again,suggesting he's in it for the long haul with Charlize.

While there is no doubt that Sean gave his final rose to Charlize, these other Hollywood men love seeing who gets sent home in tears on the show. Andrew Garfield told Vulture that he would freak out if he met Sean Lowe. "If I met him, I’d be like, ‘Oh my God, it’s Sean Lowe," he said. He also once said it is the "greatest show on TV."

If these men weren't taken, we wonder if they'd ever consider being the next bachelor!
