Evan Wood On 'Manson Romance & Spiderman

4 months ago 12th Jun 03:40

Actress Evan Rachel Wood has called her romance with rocker Marilyn Manson "a bad idea", suggesting young girls shouldn't date much older men.

Manson was in his late 30s when he started dating The Wrestler star, who is now 21, and the odd couple split last year (08).

They briefly reconciled this past spring (09), but Wood has moved on again and is now dating actor Shane West, who turned 31 on Wednesday (10Jun09).

And she's speaking out about age-gap romances.

She tells FemaleFirst, "I don't think it works. I think it's abad idea. I think as long as you learn from it - good or bad experience - it's an experience, and you should take something away from it".

And her viewpoint on romance with much older men is shaping the roles she plays - Wood insists she'd have turned down the chance to work with Woody Allen on his new film Whatever Works if her character's relationship with Larry David's went too far.

She explains, "I spoke to Larry about it and told him if the relationship went any further sexually I wouldn't have done the movie... That's one of the things that I liked about the relationship in the movie; it never crosses that line or gets creepy".

Actress Evan Rachel Wood has signed to star as Mary Jane Watson in the new Spider-Man stage musical.

Two months after the show's director Julie Taymor denied Wood would play the web-slinging superhero's love interest, the actress has confirmed to Moviefone.com she's preparing to make her Broadway debut in the show, which opens in New York next February (10).

She has been forced to pull out of plans to star in movie Sucker Punch to take on the stage project.

The other lead roles, including Peter Parker/Spider-Man, have yet to be cast.

The musical, which will feature tracks by U2 stars Bono and The Edge, will reunite Taymor with Wood - she previously directed the 21 year old in 2007 movie Across The Universe.
