The actor's rep was quick to point out that the pair has only met a few times.

"There is nothing romantic going on between them. He has only met Charlize twice!" the actor's rep told People.

As Eric makes his way down the 2012 Emmy Awards red carpet, he won't have Charlize ( or Halle) by his side - he's actually taking a friend.
