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

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.

This marriage cold not have happened without the written consent of a parent. Was it the mother or the father that got a envelope filled with cash that gave the okay?

THIS IS B.S.

No 16 year old child should be married in this country. Charges should be brought against him and her parent(s).

Most states here in the US recognize 16 as the age of consent.

-Amanda- I understand that. But the laws are too old - written when life expectancy was much less. At that time people had to pop out a lot of babies since the mortality rate was significant. They also needed help on the farms - none of this applies now.

My 18 year old son received a phone call from the Sheriffs Dept. because his girlfriend was 17 and underage, because someone called it in anonymously. So, if he married her, it would have been ok? What the hell is wrong in this world? That was only a year difference and he could have been registered as a sex offender. This guy though.....SICK F@*K and the law is fine with him marrying her.

By bellasol1124

It's ok because he is a celebrity! For all others it's wrong and h perverted!

By Susy

This is sick!!!! This guy is a pedophile! Ok, so she is not twelve but sixteen is close enough. She is still a child, and it is not like the guy is twenty something he is freakin' 51!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My sister is 16 and this story makes me sick to my stomach. Obviously the 16 year old girl has issues too. What sixteen year old marries a 51 year old man. What is wrong with people?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy should be arrested in my opinion. True love my rear. He just wants to carry out sick fantasies.

Pedophile, is the word to use here.
It does not matter if her parents like the man or not.
In my book, these parent just sold their own daughter.
I hope the girl wakes up asap, and goes back home where she should be. Or some where she wont be sold.

By Eddie

He should be ashamed of himself and thrown in jail!

By E

Well.......too bad she could have done a lot better!! Didn't she know that Hugh was single and looking for his next victim?? At least she would have got here hair bleached till it fell out and PLASTIC boobs that were too large for her body out of the marriage!! LOL

By erin

her parents should go to jail for child abuse for allowing it.

By susy

Google her and you will see pics. It is scary!!!!!!!!!! She looks 40! This girl has lost her mind and her parents should be the ones arrested. She has had to have several plastic surgeries and a boob job.
