Doug Hutchison, 51-Year-Old 'The Green Mile' Actor, Weds 16-Year-Old Country Singer Courtney Stodden

[Zywiec]

Talk about a strange couple. E! Online reports that actor Doug Hutchison of 'The Green Mile' and 'Lost' has married country singer Courtney Stodden in Las Vegas. This may not seem out of the ordinary until you consider that Hutchison is 51, while Stodden is a mere 16-years-old.

The couple provided a statement to E!: "We're aware that our vast age difference is extremely controversial," the couple said through their spokeswoman. "But we're very much in love and want to get the message out there that true love can be ageless."

They look so happy together:

1. I just posted this in the Lounge

Yes she is beautiful but this is cringe-worthy

[Zywiec]

2. You don't believe true love can be ageless? n/t

[vanbean]

53. He has the look of a jackrabbit on a date. He just looks ornery.

[PCIntern]

3. Her father said:

“Courtney is one of the most level headed girls out there and I’m not just saying that because she’s my daughter. Doug is the nicest man I’ve ever met in my life,” Alex said of his 51-year-old son-in-law, who tied the knot with his daughter in Vegas on May 20.

4. & when 16-yr-old males routinely fall in love with 51-yr-old women

or 26- or 36- or 46-year-old males regularly fall in love with women 10-30 years their senior, I'll believe it.

[liberal N proud]

12. Here's to you Mrs. Robinson

And here's to you Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know wo, wo, wo
God bless you please, Mr. Robinson

[Zywiec]

14. Do 51 year old women want 16 year old males? n/t

[kstewart33]

16. The sane ones don't. nt

101. That's about it. Charisma? Zero. Conversation? Zero. Trim the hedges? OK.

[MrMickeysMom]

23. I'd wager to say for at least one romp i the hay...

But, why settle for that when you can get his replica as a sex toy, ladies?

Hmmmm????

[tishaLA]

28. reminds me of the old Bette Midler joke...

I was talking the other day with my boyfriend Ernie. Soph, he says to me, I think I'm gonna take an 18 year old lover.

Ernie I says, what 18 year old is gonna take a 40 yea old man as a lover?

I can find one, he says.

In that case, I think I'll get me an 18 year old lover, too, and I'm betting I'll have more fun than you.

Why's that? He says.

Simple math, i tells him. 18 goes into 40 a hell of a lot more than 40 goes into 18.

[Freddie Stubbs]

32. Every week there is a news story of a female school teacher who does this

[seabeyond]

33. and the women call bullshit and the men say, if i were only 12 fuckin my teacher.

i hear ya

[LynneSin]

43. I didn't want a 16 year old male even when I was 16 years old

They're just to jack rabbit happy and not enough skills to truly enjoy it.

[Ikonoklast]

57. Today's local paper showed a 50 year old woman just got convicted

of having sex witha 15 year-old boy.

[Darth_Kitten]

44. exactly!!!

:)

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Is Hutchison older than his father-in-law?

[exboyfil]

6. The girl is a year older than my daughter

and she is marrying a man four years older than me? First of all the bride does not look 16. My daughter isn't even dating yet. She is worrying about her Sophomore year in High School.

Childhood - what an overrated concept.

What is wrong with these people?

[KittyWampus]

39. In that photo, the girl looks 30.

[seabeyond]

41. lol. i had to re read. i thought she was old and he the kid. but then

i dont have glasses on.

[Chimichurri]

60. Heh I thought the same thing and I have my glasses on.

[CurtEastPoint]

7. Sorry...That 'girl' is sixteen? Yikes! n/t

[Zywiec]

8. See, sixteen is only a number. n/t

[chrisa]

9. A little young methinks.

Most 16-year olds don't know what they want to do in life or care yet. This is a little bizarre.

[XanaDUer]

10. She's only 16?

Add about 20 yrs to that number...

[baldguy]

11. So, all the creeps he's played on TV and the movies isn't acting?

[geardaddy]

55. That was my thought.

lol

[Dawson Leery]

58. LOL!

[opihimoimoi]

13. *I just knew it....Its PERCY WETMORE.... the guy who pissed in his pants

[Evasporque]

15. Okay for men to marry children....

But gay couple cannot wed...brilliant.

[Arkansas Granny]

30. Isn't that the truth?

[originalpckelly]

42. Precisely. And don't forget all the states that allow you to marry first cousins.

:puke:

And yet people who are consenting and not related can't get married. Fuckers.

[rucky]

19. I'm sure they have a lot in common.

they both like soup

[smokey nj]

40. ....

:rofl:

[justiceischeap]

20. The question no one seems to be asking is how old she was when they met...

I mean really... I'm guessing Mr. Hutchison may be guilty of some statutory rape charges at the least.

[Zywiec]

21. I'm sure they waited until the wedding night to consummate their relationship. n/t

[HappyMe]

22. She looks way older than 16.

It probably won't last.

[originalpckelly]

24. What's really going on:

He's horny for someone younger because she is more fertile than an older woman.

And that's it.

Women don't have to worry about that as much, and there you have it. With men like this, the natural instinct to prefer a younger more fertile person is taken to the extreme, and it delves into the area of unacceptable relationships.

I really do not know what's wrong with these parents though. Who would let their daughter do this shit?

I'd have a problem with it, if say my niece were to do this, and the dude was in his 30s. I'd have a problem if he was in his middle to late 20s. I'd probably still be looking for a bat to break his fucking legs if he did this and he was in his early 20s. And I would design the wedding cake if they were younger, but if he was 19 I'd give him a dirty look the entire time the ceremony was going.

Wouldn't this dude be receiving a visit from Chris Hansen if he arranged to do it on the internet? But it's OK if the dude has the parents permission.

[JoePhilly]

25. When did they start dating, when she was 15? ewwwww.

[seabeyond]

27. meh...

men sexully peak at 19 and sperm begins degenerating at about 24. if about biology, he would not be reproducing at all.

girls under 20 have more premature and underweight babies, not to mention less ability for the successful raising of the child

so no, a kid is not optimal, nor is an old man

[snooper2]

37. The World revolves around me...When I walk into Target

Everybody stops what they are doing to ask how they can help...including the customers

[seabeyond]

38. me me me. isnt it amazing, me, too. nt

[EOTE]

45. Men can produce healthy babies well into their 80s.

It's very rare that women will produce healthy babies in their late 40s. So yeah, it's an incredibly different situation. You may say that sperm starts to degenerate at 24, but that doesn't stop them from producing healthy babies for another 60 years or so. Women have FAR smaller of a window. That you still don't recognize this amuses me.

[seabeyond]

46. women can produce healthy babies well into forties. not optimal.

nor is it optimal for a girl under 20 to have a baby. and that is the discussion. nor is it optimal (biologically) to have the old, tired sperm of an 80 yr old man.

[EOTE]

61. 80 year old sperm is far more optimal than 45 year old ovaries.

That's what you don't seem to understand. There is far more biological imperative for an older man to pursue a younger woman than the other way around. I know you don't believe in evolutionary biology, but it exists.

[seabeyond]

62. no, not really. all kinds of disorders can manifest with older sperm.

and 45 yr old can have a perfectly healthy baby.

the only biological imperative for an older man is if he is the only one available. kinda like the 45 yr old woman. though, at the least with the 45 yr old woman, it would be optimal child rearing as opposed to a kid or an old man

if it was really about evolutionary biology at its best, you would be arguing the woman going for that 20 yr old man. not an old man

[EOTE]

64. And 80 year old sperm can produce a healthy baby.

You seem to be having a very hard time understanding here. Tell me this. Do you think an 80 year old man having sex with a 20 year old woman or a 20 year old man having sex with an 80 year old woman is more likely to produce a healthy offspring? I look forward to your many tales of healthy babies born to octogenarian women. And your last comment regarding evolutionary biology suggests to me that you really don't know what it is.

[seabeyond]

66. has anyone suggested this? nt

[EOTE]

68. Suggest what? I mentioned many things in my post.

You are being far too vague.

[cherish44]

115. I have 3 friends who had babies in their mid forties (one was actually 48 when she gave birth)

None were on birth control because they believed there was no way they'd get pregnant at their age. All had good pregnancies although they did have extra prenatal care because they were "high risk" due to their age. But they had healthy babies and say they couldn't imagine life with out their suprise bundles of joy.

[girl gone mad]

71. They can, but younger sperm is still preferable.

Healthier, less risk of birth defects, plus the man who produces it is more virile and better able to defend the family over the long term. Research shows young women strongly prefer men close to their own age (and attractiveness), and couples with an age difference of no more than 5 years have the highest rates of fertility.

I would be willing to bet this girl will cheat with males in her own age group if given the opportunity.

[EOTE]

79. But the chances of producing a healthy baby for a women after her 40s is VERY low.

The chances of a male producing a healthy baby after his 40s with a younger woman are very high. THAT is where the difference is. There is a evolutionary reason that men tend to desire younger women. One can deny it all they want, it doesn't make it any less true.

[seabeyond]

80. i betcha that 40 yr old woman would love to play with the 20 yr old man, too. so what?

the 20 yr old woman or the 20 yr old man, dont want the old person.... unless using them.

that is what you are refusing to get

on edit... the 40 yr old woman isnt using some bullshit argument of biological impertative either. just he is hawt.

[EOTE]

81. You are confusing anecdotes with science.

I'm sure there are PLENTY of 40 year old women who would love to play around with 20 year old men. But the reality is that the opposite is far more likely to occur. Many, many DO want the old person. And your cynicism aside, most aren't being used. Evolutionary science bears that out. That is what you are refusing to get.

[seabeyond]

83. you are confusing evolutionary behavior with science.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=439&topic_id=1315787#1316779

[EOTE]

84. Evolutionary biology is a subfield of biology, which is a science.

I know you don't take much stock in science, but it exists whether you want it to or not. I know you think you're so much smarter than these scientists, and that you could show them a thing or two. However, I'd recommend mastering the use proper punctuation and grammar before daring to suggest you're more knowledgeable in these fields. Really, it's rather funny seeing someone who has such a poor grasp of a subject suggesting that it's the scientists who don't know what they're talking about.

[seabeyond]

85. you didnt bother with my links, did you as you lecture on knowledge. i KNOW you wanna believe

it is all of who your manhood is. i KNOW it is important that you believe.

the earth is flat, too

[EOTE]

89. The link that has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion?

And was added after your edit? Yeah, you're right I didn't bother with your link (singular). So, do you have anything intelligent to add to the conversation? Are you going to even bother responding to my question of your ridiculously open ended post? Or have you just given up there? I believe many things, but I have strong factual basises for almost all of them. On the other hand, when you believe something strongly enough, you could give a fuck less what people actually educated in the field believe. Science and you are not very good friends at all. If it makes you feel any better, I'm guessing science wants nothing to do with you as well.

[seabeyond]

90. if you had bothered to go into that single link... after edit, that you are aware of, THREE links

are provided arguing why this supposed science is anything but and nothing but the cult like male dominant sect follow.

[EOTE]

91. I saw the tripe you were trying to peddle as an argument.

More than anything, it shows me that you're not capable of adequately expressing your argument. So you cut and paste incredibly vague attacks from Wikipedia. And then link to ridiculous strawmen trying to suggest that evolutionary psychology (which, while having similar roots, is a distinct discipline from evolutionary biology, you should know) does anything to excuse rape. Perhaps you should learn the difference between the two before you claim to be an authority on the matter.

[seabeyond]

95. gotta believe..... lol. hey

have a good evening.

[TorchTheWitch]

51. What's really going on...

He's a creep who glommed onto a gorgeous teenage idiot who is young enough that her tits still stand up on their own and is and dumb enough to control easily. This one is so stupid that even at 16 she doesn't realize that a strapless ultra-short skintight sheath isn't an appropriate wedding dress just because it's white.

And THAT'S it.

Biology doesn't enter into it - society does. Thankfully, society has progressed far enough to realize that females are worth more than easily controlled baby making machines which is why most people find relationships like this not only inappropriate but disgusting. If this was all about biology he'd be shit out of luck because her biology would have her going after young, strong and virile men capable of producing lots of healthy offspring and capable of protecting said offspring until they are old enough to leave the nest and so she will be less likely to be without a protective mate in her golden years. This is why biology naturally couples up people of similar age.

Shame on her parents... it's the job of the parents to keep creeps like this far away from their kids, and hers failed miserably.

[treestar]

56. Did he say that?

He wants to marry a 16 year old to have as many children as possible?

[Shandris]

59. If you'd be out to 'break his legs' if he was in his early twenties...

...then you've got some serious issues you might want to have addressed. I recommend professional help immediately.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

70. +1

[alp227]

105. So do you think people should be 18 to get married?

This wedding is a consequence of state laws that allow older teens to get married with parents' permission, if I'm correct. It's crazy how gay marriage = not allowed but May/December marriage = allowed in current American society.

[ehrnst]

26. Yes, we wouldn't want Gay marriage to threaten this sort of Godly union.

:eyes:

[originalpckelly]

29. Yeah. First cousins can married, this shit can happen...

but consenting adults cannot choose of their own free will to get married.

[JanMichael]

31. That poor girl; I hope she gets therapy in a few years

when she is old enough to understand that apparently every adult instrumental in shaping her childhood used her.

She doesn't even look 16; in the bad photos I have seen she looks like a thirty year old. Her hair is fried from bleach, and she is posing like a Baywatch actress. I wonder if she has had plastic surgery already, frankly.

What a shame.

[snooper2]

34. This is really going to affect my life...

:eyes:

36. it is not always about....

i pulled that out once with one of my kids, and i laughed. just teasin

35. Percy Wetmore Do A Dance, See Him Squishin' In His Pants

That's some Chesire smile he's got there. I'd probably be smiling too.

I give it two years, plus or minus six months. Pretty soon she'll be old enough to vote, and Percy will have to find himself a newer model.

[jorno67]

47. so if she tweets him some naughty pics he can go to jail for having child porn...

[-..__...]

48. Publicity stunt?

Two "celebrities" that rank below "Hollywood Squares" level of fame and recognition looking for attention and publicity.

[RebelOne]

49. Believe me, it won't last. In a few years, you will be reading about their divorce. n/t

[seabeyond]

50. months.... her step into adult. can divorce in a couple months and then play as adult

at that age, a couple years is TOO hard. marriage early, puts them in adult world a couple years sooner.

[TwilightGardener]

52. Yuck.

[kenny blankenship]

54. Keep your heart pills on top of the nightstand Doug. Try not to kill him Courtney.

Good luck, and a sincere THANK YOU to you both. Without the news of your wedding, we might have missed our one outstanding opportunity this week to sit in judgment of others. And without that satisfaction, our lives would be so bleak.

[me b zola]

63. They should have kept Percy locked in the closet

in a straight jacket. Geebus this is sick shit.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

65. She looks more like 27

And with some work done.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

72. ...and he looks 35.

The creepiest thing is that the photo doesn't look creepy.

[SoCalDem]

67. ick ...n/t

[JI7]

69. She looks a lot older than she is so they don't look that weird

together.

the Fred Thompson pics with his wife look more strange.

[wndycty]

73. She ain't 16. try 32, if not 42.

:kick:

I dunno...she looks rather virtuous to me.

[A HERETIC I AM]

77. If this girl is sixteen, then I'm the Pope of Nebraska.

Taking the extraordinary step of replying to my own post to put up this pic;



I find it fascinating that a liberal message board really gives a fuck what happens in the lives of people like this.

This once again, PEGS my "Who-gives-a-fuck-o-meter"





So what?

Leave em' be.

[JI7]

82. i heard she had Plastic Surgery, and she does have that plastic surgery type face

which always makes people look older than if they had a few wrinkles

[WinkyDink]

88. No, you did not so "hear." The few articles all quote her mother as denying surgery.

[HipChick]

109. Hardly anyone ever admits to plastic surgery...

but she looks 'enhanced' to me

Maybe 26.

[Taverner]

76. He doesn't look 51

In fact, on first glance she looks older than him

[underpants]

93. and she doesn't look 16

I agree with you. Still that is a huge age difference.

[Taverner]

102. Eh, they make a cute couple

Maybe they can star in a Cop Drama together

[Courtesy Flush]

78. She can play with his grandchildren. nt

[Bluenorthwest]

Wow! Just look at the Sacramental look in his eyes!

92. I heard a snip of her record. She ain't no singer,

97. You certainly make DU look good.

Or is that your purpose here?

98. Did you miss the picture?

That guy hit the jackpot & I see no problem with this if her parents are on board..

[seabeyond]

99. ha. lol. like you say... b stupid. that is funny. nt

[Hugabear]

104. Very fitting nickname you chose

Enjoy your stay here on DU

[Marr]

96. Sheesh, they look the same age in that photo.

She looks way older than 16 and he looks way younger than 51. Weird.

[Liberal_in_LA]

100. they do. here is a better picture.

[Arkana]

103. Damn, that's creepy.

I really liked Doug too. He has that extraordinary ability to play creepy characters really well.

[Liquorice]

106. That's so sad. 16 is too young to be married, and it's especially awful to be

married to a man older than your own father. That girl's parents did her a great disservice. When she grows up she is going to be wondering WTF her parents were thinking to allow her to get married so young. And the old letch? Well he obviously found a good family he could take advantage of. He should be in jail.

[HipChick]

107. More pictures here...and she looks like a walking poster child for Plastic surgery

[Blasphemer]

108. This young lady is looking to score herself a reality show

In a world where the Kardashians make tens of millions of dollars for doing nothing, this girl and her family are looking to cash in. He is a D-List actor who never makes any news and this marriage announcement is all over the MSM. Her "career" in country music is just another angle to help sell her inevitable reality show to E!, VH1 or TLC.

[SoDesuKa]

110. Best Wishes to the Happy Couple

I always cry at weddings.



Happy the bride the sun shines on today

111. It's the end of the world!

Gawd I hope they get a reality show after they've went to all of this trouble.

[formernaderite]

114. I think this is a publicity stunt to get her career moving

My son showed this to me and a sampling of her "music" lol.

[cherish44]

116. Agree 100% this is a publicity stunt

The fact that the parents are commenting on her "virginity" and her "all natural breasts and lips" is very weird. Reminds of me Jessica Simpson's parents. And she looks like she could be in her 40s in some of those pictures.

[Stevenmarc]

117. Maybe she was "born again" 16 years ago but when was she born the first time
