'Green Mile' Actor Doug Hutchison, 51, Marries Aspiring Singer, 16

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jun 20th 2011 01:00PM

They say love is timeless but is it ageless too? Apparently it is for 'Green Mile' actor, Doug Hutchison, 51, and his 16-year-old bride. Hutchison tied the knot with nearly legal, Courtney Alexis Stodden, an aspiring country singer, on Monday in Las Vegas, according to E! Online. We're sure that Stodden had an overload of material for her diary this year -- a driver's license and a marriage license!

Hutchison, who is most known for his role as Percy Wetmore in 'The Green Mile,' has also appeared in 'Lost' and '24.' The actor and his new bride share a 35 year age difference -- a gap that the couple isn't trying to hide.

"We're aware that our vast age difference is extremely controversial," the couple said in a statement released by their spokesperson. "But we're very much in love and want to get the message out there that true love can be ageless."

According to the Clark County, Nevada Marriage Bureau, both marriage license applicants must be at least 18 years of age. But minors (below the age of 18) are able to obtain a license with the consent of a parent or legal guardian -- reasoning that at least one of Stodden's parents approves of their daughter's May-December marriage.

Hutchison's young wife is a former beauty pageant queen and hopes to become the next big thing out of Nashville. Marrying a much older D-list actor is certainly one way to do it -- although the couple insists that their union is based purely on genuine love.

I agree the term pedophile does not fit here due to her age. However, she IS too young to really know what true love is and as such the claim they are "in love" is a cover for his chasing young girls.

This is to Sam:

What the heck does being Jewish have anything to do with being a typical pedophile. You are a bigoted idiot!

By Jon

He's a pedophile even though she looks older than he does; therefore any man attracted to any woman at all, is a pedophile.

WHAT?????????????? Really; maybe someone younger OK.........but what can they even have to talk about???? She isn't even an adult yet.

By rick

I don't think talking has anything to do with it.

By Lisa

Not true! They talk about, like, prom and junk. :)

....and he can help guide her when she develops into womanhood and give her "the talk."

What was Mr. Hutchinson's pick up line? What's your favorite color? Maybe it was "What is your favorite food/music? This guy is gross...after how many “weekly” anniversaries did he propose? Over/under 7 weeks?

By Brandy

No, maybe his pickup line was "hey want some cookies and milk?" Geesh what moron would sign off for their child to marry, especially a 51 year old perv!!

By Camkid

Really, you think they're carrying on Philosophical discussions?! What do most 16 year old girls talk about other than hair, makeup and boys! She can know brag to her friends that she married a movie star!

By fattrucker

it's just like Hef, why do celebrities marry much, much, younger women? Because they can. It looks bad, it's wrong, but I'm 61 and if i could marry a 16 year old beauty queen, I would do it in a minute. Sorry, but I just would.

By angie

Terrific, your 61 going on 16, are you a part time pedifile prest, morman moran . Won,t your 3 leg pit bull you are doing get jealous.Ok, JUST HIM YOUR BONE.

By John & Candace

I'm sorry, but true love can be timeless, but aren't there laws about under age sex etc? One could applaud the man for marrying the girl, but for me this is beyond creeping me out, I actually feel physically sick reading this story. Sorry, that's just the way I feel when I hear a 51 year old man, married a 16 year old girl, however mature she might seem, in the eyes of the law of this country, she is still a child.

By Barbara

I agree with you, it is sickening to even read about. I would never let my 16 yr old date a man that is 51 yrs. He should be ashamed of him self. He is the creep that he was in the movie.

By Old man

Can you imagine the outrage if the ages were reversed?

She is NOT a child! Children cannot drive, she can. She can work, children can't. Get over the age thing. Some 16,17, and 18 year olds are more mature than others. Depends on how you were raised. Humans stop being children at 15, they are young adults and should be treated as such.

By Pat

Gina, Gina, Gina In many countries children work at 8 years old, they are still children even though they are working.
