"Lost" actor Doug Hutchison, 51, marries 16 year old

[underpants]

51-year-old "The Green Mile" actor Doug Hutchison believe that "true love can be ageless." The actor, who is also known for his role as Vadim in the "Days of Wrath", has made a headline as he decided to marry a very young aspiring country singer Courtney Alexis Stodden who is only 16 years old. The newlywed couple tied the knot on May 20 in Las Vegas

According to the Clark County, Nevada Marriage Bureau, marriage license applicants for both parties must be at least 18 years of age. Those who are below the age of 18 are able to obtain a licensee, but with a consent of a parent or legal guardian. In this case, Stodden's parents have to approve of their daughter's May-December marriage.

Hutchison's adolescent wife is a former beauty pageant queen who took part in the Miss Teen Washington USA in 2010. She's been pursuing her career to become the next big star from Nashville. However, she slammed the suggestion saying that marrying a much older D-list actor is one way to achieve fame by insisting that she and her husband are so in love with each other.

1. if it's really true love

don't you think they could have waited 2 more years until she was 18?

or, five years until she was 21?

and, her parents had to give their permission for her to marry that young. WTF were the parents thinking?

[rurallib]

8. maybe they thought it was like a learner's permit for driving?

2. True love? Or child molestation?

3. If someone is below the age of having understanding.

They can not have consent by not being mature enough to make decisions around topics of intimacy, from that society sets laws to replace the thoughts of selfish ownership of people, that was done for centuries in society, and instead defends people from getting into relationships before the age of consent.

It makes complete sense why there are laws about age of consent.

[NewJeffCT]

10. They had to get her parents' permission to marry

WTF mom & dad?

[Xithras]

20. The age of consent in both Washington and Nevada is 16

Legally, in both states, they can move in together and screw all they want without breaking a single law. They can have babies together without breaking any laws. Parental consent is only required for marriage.

41. Neither.

She has a woman's body, but most likely a girl's mind. He isn't a pedophile for being attracted to her, but the chance of finding true love with that much of an age difference is unlikely.

Sixteen is a girl. She doesn't even know what she wants to be at that age.

[Bunny]

4. Disgusting.

[av8rdave]

5. That is downright creepy on so many levels

Suppose he will take her to her high school prom?

[RedCloud]

6. Just like in cave man times. Except she would be 10, he would be 25 years dead.

[LynneSin]

7. She's 16? She looks 30

nuff said.

[NewJeffCT]

9. she does look much older than 16

If somebody had posted that a 51 year old actor had married a woman half his age and posted the same picture, nobody would have said she looks young for her age...

[Rosie1223]

11. Do they have a show on Bravo?

If not, they probably will soon.

:hi:

[Orrex]

12. Maybe she saw those X-Files episodes where he stretches himself reeealllly far

What woman could resist such an ability?

[Ikonoklast]

13. That guy looks pretty good for being 51.

And as far as her age, well, for me personally I think that she's just too young.

But I'm not one of her parents, and I didn't need to give my permission.

[Bucky]

15. looks pretty good for being 51

Looks 51

But yes, ditching the trench coat and black socks outfit was a flattering move.

[Ikonoklast]

16. Meh. I see raggedier-looking thirty-somethings at my gym.

Some of those guys look like they are 51.

[Bucky]

17. Well the 30 somethings shouldn't be marrying high school students either

I'm giving it 2 years, tops. Once she takes the braces off, it's over for him.

[Ikonoklast]

26. "honey, please stop putting your dentures in the same glass as my retainer."

[nolabear]

37. *snort!*

Gotta remember that.

[Arugula Latte]

14. What.The.F@#$.

Child molester. Disgusting.

[Iggo]

18. Aw. What a cute couple!

[AngryAmish]

19. Anyone who says you can always tell when a girl is underage, I'm gonna show her picture

[Patiod]

22. How about this one?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQYXyU1AS8Y&feature=related

I have to agree with you - I can't imagine thinking this girl is underage.

And in addition to letting her marry a 51 year old, her parents obviously also paid for breast enhancement surgery.

[petronius]

24. As bad as her singing is, her 'dancing' (or whatever that's supposed to be) is

even worse. :eyes:

I can't help thinking (hoping) there's a spoof or a prank buried in here somewhere...

[Lasher]

31. That looks like stripper dancing.

I kept thinking there should be a pole for her to hang onto.

[kick-ass-bob]

39. I laughed at a comment on the video:

i am quite impressed that she was able to "sing" and smile whilst having a seizure

[AngryAmish]

34. I went to high school with a girl with a chest like that (pre-implant days)

She was dating professional athletes and never got carded.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

21. This has to be a hoax

She is not 16.

[AtomicKitten]

23. Hutchison played the creepy character Tooms on the X-Files.

[Hepburn]

25. Ooooooooooh......

........true love...:puke:

[Moondog]

27. Sixteen, going on twenty nine.

It's not the age, it's the mileage.

Hard to tell from here which one of that couple is getting the short end of that particular stick.

Having said that, he ought to be ashamed of himself.

And no doubt he will be, once the flow of blood to his other head is restored . . . .

[Moondog]

28. Dupe

[mainstreetonce]

29. She's not even old enough to drink DHARMA beer

Horace Goodspeed was a time traveler. He might be her grandfather.
See ya in another life, brother.

[Tabasco_Dave]

30. Jacob dies and everything goes to hell. n/t

[JI7]

32. this is country music ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOrD5kqyov0

this whole thing seems like a joke.

[cherish44]

33. I call BS on her being 16

I hate to bash a woman's looks but she looks like she could be in her 40s in some of her pics. This reeks of publicity stunt

[Lasher]

38. Know what, I think you're right.

I'll second that bullshit.

[NewJeffCT]

40. I know - I'm thinking it may be BS as well

but, you never know.

However, Perez Hilton is suspicious as well.

42. Thanks for the links.

The comments at the first linked article are particularly entertaining. I can always use a laugh.
