He has a bit of a belly in that pic, but nice that you aren’t so picky.

Look at the pics of 41 year old actor Adrien Grenier of Entourage and his 25 year old GF.

Anyone else think it looks a little creepy for a man that age to date such a young woman? I know this is par for the course in Hollywood, but what about IRL?

I had zero interest in 40 year old men in my 20s. 40 year olds were the dads of kids I babysat in my teens. I had zero in common with them. And now as a 40 something married to a 40 something, I could not imagine my DH dating a young woman slightly older than our own college-age sitters.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

If it’s just something short-term and for sex, no, not weird.

Catherine zeta jones and Michael Douglas have 20 year difference. This is 16 years difference. On the high side but nothing too shocking.

So Hollywood it is good exposure to date a “star”. If he does something(movie whatever), there is a good chance she will be in it.

Does nothing for me. Remember as Anne Hathaway's cheated on bf on the Devil Wears Prada.

He's hardly your average 41 year old.

Yeah. I’m a 41 year old woman who had a crazy crush on a 27 year old guy. Heh!

It seems that some women prefer the maturity of guys who could be their fathers. Not weird; just not the typical age difference.

I dated a man in his 50s when I was 23. It was fun at first, but got boring quickly. We just didn't have anything in common. I wanted to go experience life, while he already had and just wanted a quiet life. I thought about marrying him at the time but now I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like with someone so old. Even my relationships with men 5-10 years older had age-related problems.

Now I'm in my 30s and a guy 10 years younger than me is interested in me. Yea, he's hot (really, really, really hot....mmm, abs!), but he's just....immature. Not in a bad way- he's more mature than most mid-20s guys- but there are still insecurity and immaturity issues. He needs a lot of reassurance. Plus we have different habits and lifestyles- for example, he wants to text and send selfies all the time, while I'm not really interested in that. He still does a lot of "young guy" stuff like playing video games for hours on end, which is kind of a turn-off for me at this point in my life.

So I don't find it creepy, but I think in most cases it doesn't work out. There are, of course, exceptions, but as a general rule I think there are too many generational and maturity differences. Then again, Hollywood actors probably aren't the most mature people

My first thought is that there's a thread like yours every few months on DCUM.

There's a 19 year difference between my husband and me. It happens a LOT in the rich man-hot girlfriend category. We are not in that category, but it still happens.

So, move on and broaden your mind.

Of course it's weird. But slightly less weird in Hollywood.

He is great looking, so I can see what she sees in him. Plus money, maturity, power.
