He played a hippie in LOST's third season, but actor Doug Hutchison is now in a marriage that even Horace Goodspeed might disapprove of. The actor, 51, who is also famous for his turns in The Green Mile and The X-Files, has married a sixteen-year-old aspiring country music singer. That girl, Courtney Alexis Stodden, is trying to position herself as a Nashville star, E! Online is reporting.
Hutchison and Stodden tied the knot on May 20 in Las Vegas. And while they likely to attract plenty of controversy (she's a third his age!), they're surprisingly not trying to hide from the tabloid limelight. In an exclusive statement to E! News, the couple insists that it all comes down to love.
"We're aware that our vast age difference is extremely controversial," they said, "But we're very much in love and want to get the message out there that true love can be ageless."
The union certainly is a little strange, and will probably attract a lot of media attention over the next few months. But maybe that's what the couple wants, either to spread their message of love or to spread Stodden's name (the whole "there's no such thing as bad publicity," sort of thing).
In any case, godspeed to them both.
Goodspeed to both of them. Gottem.
Hellz yeah. Doug is livin' the dream.
I'll go ahead and be one of the people who has a problem with this.
This is kinda disturbing. She's my age… and he's my father's age. *shudder*
Oh damn. She's my daughter's age and he's my father's age!
if true love is so timeless, he shouldn't have had a problem waiting until she was an adult.
I'm 24 and my fiance just turned 42 in September. We met when I was 19 and he was 37 so age doesnt matter but what DOES matter is this girl is UNDERAGE. He could have at least waited 2 more years til she turned 18 instead of insisting that they marry so early. When I was 16, I was "in love" but then when I turned 19, I realized that love was not real, it was infatuation. Maybe he should've waited til she was mature enough to really know if she truly loved him. So no, I do not agree with him marrying a 16 yr old.
This dude is as creepy in real life as he is in his roles, how fitting.
