Sally Field doesn’t believe the third time’s the charm when it comes to marriage.
Actor Forrest Gump, who has been married twice, told Julia Louis-Dreyfus that she “can’t imagine” tying the knot again and laughed at the thought.
“It would certainly depend on meeting someone I wanted to spend more than 37 seconds with,” Field said on the latest episode of Louis-Dreyfus’ podcast, Wiser Than Me, released Wednesday.
“So I don’t know,” said the actor as Louis-Dreyfus laughed.
“I was never very good at choosing a partner for myself, so I can’t blame them – men. We didn’t match up well,” explained Field. “Several people I went with or around me would say, ‘Why can’t you treat me like you treat your sons?’ Oh, because you are not my son…”

“I’ve never been good at choosing a partner to be with who would love, and know me and not want to change me, and also challenging for me, but I wouldn’t hope to be anything less. I,” shared the Lincoln actor. “You know, [they would say] ‘Be smaller so I don’t feel like I have to be bigger.’”
Field was previously married to Steven Craig and Alan Greisman – and had a high-profile affair when she dated her former co-star, Burt Reynolds.
While Reynolds has called Field the “love of my life,” Field has shared less than fond memories of her ongoing relationship with the actor.
Reynolds was apparently “not happy” when Field won Best Actress at the 1980 Oscars and told her then-partner that she was “not going to go” as her date to the ceremony. Field won Best Actress at the Oscars and Cannes that year.
Field said, “He wasn’t a nice guy around me back then.”
