The young girl seen on actor James Woods’ arm at the recent premiere of “White House Down” caused a stir this week, as she's clearly much younger than the 66-year-old entertainment veteran, famous for his roles in “Casino" and “The Virgin Suicides." Turns out the mystery brunette is 20-year-old Kristen Bauguess, not known in the entertainment business so much as in Georgia's crime logs. According to Radar Online, Woods' girlfriend was charged with two felonies and three misdemeanor charges earlier this month after authorities in Georgia arrested her for possession of marijuana and controlled substances, speeding and allegedly switching license tags on her vehicle.

The new couple, who only recently revealed their relationship to the public, have made their love for each other well known on social media. As of Friday, Bauguess’ Twitter account was peppered with interactions between the pair, the 20-year-old telling the actor he is a “genius” at his craft and complimenting her much older beau, saying, “No one is cuter than you.”

Woods' decision to date a younger woman might raise some eyebrows, but he isn't the only celebrity who has been flamed for a similar crime of the heart. Here are six other male stars known for having a younger better half.

ROBERTO CAVALLI

Fashion designer Roberto Cavalli drew headlines this month after photographs of his much younger girlfriend, model Lina Nilson, bathing him aboard a yacht in Sardinia surfaced online. In the graphic images the duo don’t seem to mind cameras capturing their intimate moment, the 72-year-old designer at one point appearing to check out his much younger girlfriend’s bikini body after stripping down and showing his bare bottom. While Nilson’s exact age isn't known, it has been reported that she is in her 20s.

Possibly the most highly publicized famous couple of late with a large age gap, 53-year-old “Green Mile” actor Doug Hutchison and aspiring singer Courtney Stodden, 18, created massive buzz when they married in 2011. With 35 years between them, the couple wed when Stodden was only 16, with the blessing of her parents. The duo went on to star in VH1’s reality series “Couples Therapy” in 2012.

The “Expendables” star is 19 years older than his girlfriend.
