They say age is only a number when it comes to love - just ask Green Mile star Doug Anthony Hutchison and his new bride.

The 51-year-old actor has married aspiring country singer Courtney Alexis Stodden, who is 16.

The pair married in Las Vegas last month and Hutchison proudly posted a picture of himself and the former beauty queen on his website this week.

He wrote: 'Doug Anthony Hutchison and Courtney Alexis Stodden became husband and wife on Friday May 20th, 2011, at 12 pm in The Little Chapel of Flowers in Las Vegas, Nevada.

'Mr and Mrs Hutchison live together happily ensconced in their Hollywood Hills home with their lil' pups, Everette and Tuna.'

Since the wedding the TV star and his teenage bride have been forced to defend their decision.

'We're aware that our vast age difference is extremely controversial,' the couple told E! Online.

'But we're very much in love and want to get the message out there that true love can be ageless.'

The legal age for marriage in Las Vegas is 18, however with parental consent it drops to 16.

Seductress: Courtney's mother insists her daughter is a 'good Christian girl' and has not had plastic surgery


Courtney's mother Krista Stodden told RadarOnline.com: 'We are totally supportive of this marriage. Doug is a wonderful man and we love him.'

She defended her daughter's decision, insisting that she is a 'good Christian girl'.

Mrs Stodden said: 'They are very much in love and we are so supportive of this.

'Courtney was a virgin when she married Doug. She is a good Christian girl.'

Looking well beyond 16, it appears that Courtney has possibly gone under the knife to obtain her more 'mature' looks, but her mother denies this.

She said: 'She is a beautiful girl. She has real breasts, real lips, she's not plastic.'

Hutchison is best know for his role as prison guard Percy Wetmore in the film adaptation of Stephen King's The Green Mile, for which he received critical acclaim.

He later went on to play supporting roles in films such as Shaft and Bait, I Am Sam, and The Salton Sea.
