Picture of Catherine Zeta Jones and Aaron Eckhart

Older men have always dated and married much younger women and in recent years the opposite has also become popular. That is why it is stupid to even ask a younger woman why she is in love with an older man, but Rob Chilton of OK! did it anyway while talking to Catherine Zeta Jones about her movie "No Reservations."

Her response was predictable. How could she say that she hated Michael Douglas? She says, "...it's more of a blessing than anything else. We're at different places in our lives and careers. We're not vying for the attention that two actors together around the same age are vying for."

It may be somewhat less true for mere mortals like us but in my opinion if two people like each other, age makes no difference.
