Is 42 too old to date a 19 year old? We want YOUR views

As much as we like to drool over Robert Pattinson, the McFly boys and sometimes even Lil' Chris (yes, yes, we know that's a bit wrong), there's never been a time where we actually considered getting it on with them. Without giving too much away, let's just say we're a bit out of their league... Age-wise, that is. But maybe we were worrying unnecessarily. Artist and director Sam Taylor-Wood, 42, is dating Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging actor Aaron Johnson, 19 – and they don't care who knows it. Just last night, heat's very own Film Editor Charles Gant spied the pair looking very cosy at a party in Cannes, and neither one is letting the 23-year age gap worry them. Interestingly, Sam is actually the former squeeze of art dealer Jay Jopling, who set tongues wagging when he was snapped frolicking in the Caribbean with the much-younger Lily Allen in January. One source from the film on which the couple met explained, "From the start, Aaron was dead set on her... Sam resisted it for a long time." The pair have now been together for a few months. So, do you think this is more wrong than Blake Fielder-Civil having a fling with Margaret Thatcher, or should we all just keep our nosy beaks out?
