Hayden Panettiere's mom says it's okay to live with a 30 year old man

[Ravenna]

I think that what bugs a lot of people is that they met & started dating while she was 17. That said, Hollywood 17 is a lot different that Omaha 17.

Maybe, but I think the idea that people magically become mature on their 18th birthday is stupid. If it's wrong for a 29 year-old to date a 17 year-old (and it usually is), then it's wrong for a 30 year-old to date an 18 year-old.

I agree. I just hope that she doesn't plan on having him stick around long. I have a feeling the expiration date on that relationship is quickly approaching.

[Kirsten89]

Yeah, there is a 12 year gap, but I don't see the problem with it. I just have a problem with her. Can't stand her.

[Sarzy]

What's the problem here? They are both adults. She is probably pretty mature for her age and maybe he is young for his age. Who knows!

[ingi]

He looks a lot younger than he is, and she looks a lot older than she really is so it doesn't quite bother me.

But then I always think what the hell does a 30-year-old guy have in common with an 18-year-old girl??

Other than boinking like rabbits all night? Hayden will figure this out soon and it will be on to someone higher up on the Hollywood food chain

[moomies]

what the fuck could a 30 year old and 19 year old have in common unless the 30 year old is emotionally retarded?

That's what I think, too, but not just emotionally retarded but maybe intellectually, too?

I'm thinking maybe this is more of a publicity though for their show...just creating some buzz for it, "wooo the co-stars are dating and moving in together!"

[mizglam]

I think she looks cute in that pic above.

I doubt she is your average 18 year-old. Most child actors, and that is what she was, are much more mature than the average person. I don't think it is the number but the maturity and they are probably compatible or closer in that respect. 18 and 30 is creepy but I don't think these are normal circumstances.

I completely agree

[greysfang]

Its completely pervy, you can rationalize it all you want.

[Penny Lane]

W/e... didnt he hit an ex? Allegedly.

[sweetness]

If he did go out with a chick his own age it might look kind of ridiculous. He looks about 17.

But is considerably less creepy with Milo looking about 25. Katherine McPhee, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion practically married their dads!

I was gonna say something to that effect. But along the lines of I've seen several 30-something yr old men who are probably the same speed maturity-wise as an 18 year old girl.

Still pathetic though.

[Buffy Burnett]

He just wants some young poon and won't marry her because he can move onto younger poon without commitment as she ages.

I hope not.
