Yeah, somehow I didn't think that would be his stylo but what do I know? Longtime actor, big taste of fame, lots of women around... 20 years is a BIG gap though. I'm trying to imagine being 22 and a 42 year old (famous or not) introducing himself to me... I think I was creeped out by a 4-year difference back then, lol.

I really don't get why people seem to be creeped out by something as silly as age. I know that my dad was about 15 years older than my mother. I mean my grandfather didn't forbid her to marry him. Then again, my dad had a government job and $$$$, which in the 1950's was nothing to sneeze at. I also know a lot of women, older than me, who married men who were a lot older than them, it happens. I just wish someone could explain to me, what happened in the consciousness of this world that 20 years suddenly became SOOOO much of a difference when it comes to love and marriage because I really don't get it.

I think it depends on the people involved. In some cases I can see where it would be creepy, and in other cases it wouldn't. My grandfather is 22 years older than his current wife and I don't think that's creepy nor do I think anyone ever thought it was. They've been married for over 40 years so it seems to work for them.

Yeah, my opinion differs from person to person because we're not all the same. I'm not as bothered back by such a huge age difference like 30, 40 even 20 years ago but we as a society has just changed. A 20 and 40 year old are at completely different phases in their life and I just don't understand what they could possibly have to talk about. It's just weird to me but whatever floats their boat.

He's like Wentworth Miller to me: I find both of them attractive, but I'm pretty sure they're batting for the other team. I'm not usually a conspiracy theory nut job, but I'm calling surrogacy for him and his partner. So the age-difference wouldn't bother me.

I agree that the woman is most likely a surrogate. I never got the whiff of fanboys and fan girls desperately wishing he was gay from the rumors.

Like I said above, I (just me) think 20 years is a big difference, just considering where I was at mentally as a 22 year old. As long as she was legal, I'm not judging either of them. It seems like an amiable, drama-free situation, which is refreshing.

I am 16 years younger than my husband. It didn't matter to me in the beginning but bothered people around us. Now no one really minds however I am the one feeling the age gap.
Anyway...I don't see the handsome. I try but he just doesn't do it for me. And as mentioned, I think he is gay.

aaand....just to add to the narrative, my mother is 12 years older than my dad. They married when he was 19, she was 31. Had four kids and were married for 45 years, until her death at 76. Often it works.
