I find this interesting, the phenomenon of younger guys marrying older women who were famous teen idols when the guys were in their pubescent years.

Most famous example: Ashton Kutcher (born 1978) and Demi Moore (born 1962).

Less famous example: indie filmmaker Noah Baumbach (born 1969) and Jennifer Jason Leigh (born 1962).

According to Wikipedia, Leigh filed for divorce from Baumbach in late 2010, only months after giving birth to their first child. They married in 2005.

I wonder what is going on in these relationships. Is it just pure, old-fashioned love? Is the man fulfilling some sort of fantasy from his teen years? Is the idea of making love to a woman you admired on screen decades ago that entrancing? Or is it a careerist move? After all, everyone knows who Jennifer Jason Leigh is, perhaps attaching himself to her was a savvy professional gambit for an indie filmmaker.

Would you marry one of your teen idols if you had a chance?

Here's probably what Noah had in mind when he was marrying her

   

Here's Jennifer Jason Leigh, around the time of their divorce, after four or five years of marriage:

status bro.

as the husband of an A (or B) list actress you're going to all the parties with all the topnames in the entertainment industry. you're networking. You're A list too for all intents and purposes. Marrying a high status female provides all the things that nailing 18 year old tramps does not. There's a time and place for it all in this world.

[Humanist]

I think she looks pretty good in those pics of them together. She doesn't look mid-forties to me. If you didn't know their ages, you could believe they were approximately the same age.

[tenderman100]

Here's the thing.

At 21 she was probably a little squeaker in bed, a shoulder shrugger when you dialed her nipples, and moved about 1 inch.

At 40 something, she probably straddles the cock, slaps up and down like a battering ram, and screams in ecstasy when the cock throbs.

Somethings are an improvement.

Katie Holmes marrying Tom Cruise was this in reverse. She talked about having his movie posters on her wall, and here she was, marrying him. And there was a much greater age gap than the examples above, so she TRULY married a guy that was well into adulthood while she was a teen. I hope it was worth it for what that nut put her through...HA HA!

[Timoteo]

If you watched "Weeds," you got a good idea of what Jennifer Jason Leigh looks like these days...

That's an excellent point. And speaking of eighteen year old tramps, are there any people in the world less entitled to be arrogant than eighteen year old clubgoing tramps? I mean, even if they're "tens," their main asset is depreciating faster than a low-end Kia, and they'll end up as interesting and sought-after as a ten-year-old cell phone before you can bat an eye.

It's kind of funny that guys spend so much time mulling over how to bang these anonymous hordes of good-looking women who are basically interchangeable, flash-in-the-pan trash whose main functionality is as a briefly attractive cum receptacle.

With someone like Jennifer Jason Leigh, there is a depth of personality, a significant body of work, surely some intellectual spark as well.

Yeah, the rappers have it right calling 99% of the girls out there hos.

Myself, I can still be intimidated by hot 18 year olds. Then I remind myself that other than being hot they provide absolutely no useful value to society in the least bit, nor will they ever. That helps to relax me.

[Mage]

Having female idols is beta enough already.

Well there may be some women who's looks and acting you love to watch there is no shame, but one has to be really living in phantasy to don't realise that they all have their hamsters in reall life and are not their screen personas. (Even trough many women are shameless bitches even on screen and still manage to be worshipped despite or aybe even because of that.)

Yeah, why the hell would someone wanna fuck an 18 yr old over this beautiful, intellectual woman?

[bacon]

given the way her face has lost all of its beautiful youthful glow, can you imagine the horror of seeing her naked today?

[soup]

Ha- yeah she's over the hill, but there is something cool about the idea of literally getting the girl of your dreams. They probably have a twisted relationship.

The problem is that once you get to that level of status, that which seemed relevant from the lesser perspective ceases to have the same meaning.

Baumbach probably has some mental health issue if he isn't banging girls on the side.

[Humanist]

What's strange is how SUDDEN the decline in Jennifer Jason Leigh's looks seems to have been. Those pics of her with Baumbach are fairly recent and she looks pretty young and hot in them.

She might be one of those women that reject all of the Hollywood beauty ideal bullshit, and purposely not try look glamourous. She actually stopped working for many years, then popped back up in a couple of things. I think while she makes her living in Hollywood, she doesn't really embrace all that Hollywood is.

[rudebwoy]

She has probably seen the dark side of Hollywood and done a few casting couches.

Come to think of it, she looks like a typical German woman in this photo.

Jennifer Jason Leigh basically peaked physically in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." Even then she wasn't exactly hot - she was young, so her body was decent. At the same time, look at Phoebe Cates' body in that movie. Judge Reinhold wasn't the only dude jerking off to that vision of her getting out of the pool! JJL has never been hot, and none of her roles really demanded that. She didn't really have anything to maintain. At least she didn't get really fat.
