We all know the highly talked about story of teenage bride, Courtney Stodden, and her husband, Doug Hutchison — who is 35 years her senior. People seem to have mixed feelings. I can’t say I’ve never dated anyone older than me… at one point I was dating someone who was 8 years older than me (I was 23, he was 31). I never felt like we had a significant age difference, but I have people in my life who think otherwise. I tend to believe it depends on the people in the relationship, but maybe a 35 year difference is a bit of a stretch.
The fact is, in Hollywood, it gets kind of hard to tell how old people are… you know, with botox, plastic surgery and other treatments people get to stay young looking. It’s kind of crazy and I never really realized, but there are quite a few celebrity couples with fairly large age gaps. Check some of them out under the cut.

I wouldn’t mind at all to have Daniel Craig…

I’m okay with couples having a large age difference as long as both are legally adults. Personally, I would probably not be interested in dating a man who was my dad’s age or older. (He was 32 when I was born.) To each their own.

Mary-Kate looks terrified, just sayin.

Dick Van Dyke is 86??? He hasn’t aged much. He looks GREAT for his age. I also cant believe Harrison Ford is 70 now… Where does the time go? The next 2 decades are going to be very very saddening when we start loosing all of these amazing actors.

I actually think an age difference between two people is appealing.
Perhaps not when the woman’s older than her s/o, though…
guest
@could_itbe@xanga - haha she so does!
guest
@could_itbe@xanga - lol I was thinking that exact same thing
It’s not so bad when both people are over the age of 18, like someone else said, though personally I wouldn’t date anyone old enough to be my dad. The thing that bothers me about Courtney and Doug is that she was 16 when they married and wasn’t he already 50? And her parents okayed that? Plus the fact he said on Couples Therapy that he’s basically raising his wife…that just doesn’t sound like an okay relationship to me

johnny depp is about 20 years older than me. I don’t mind his age if he’s still sexy. I love his pirate accent. my bf is near johnny’s age. sexy has no age limits for the most part. I wouldn’t date someone, who looks like they are going to drop dead lol too scary.

My bf is 8 years older than me but its not a big deal to us. Once you get past a certain age the difference isn’t a big deal anymore.
guest
My spouse is 10 years older than I am..married 35 years.. but more than that? I think is too much!!!

Fuck Jeff Goldblum, man!
I was 17 and dated/ was engaged to a man who was 2 years younger than my father. I think its about a connection. It should be nobody’s business but your own.

Jeff Goldblum is so hot!

Like everyone else said… g-d Jeff Goldblum is freaking hot

That picture of MK Olson and her boyfriend looks like a father and daughter, for real.
I really do think physical age is just a number. Age difference hardly matters. But, maturity difference shows and proves to be dysfunctional. Truth is you can’t assume someone to be mature or immature just because of how old they are…and that’s okay.
