Creepy Old Rock Stars Discover The Fountain of Youth with Women Less Than Half Their Age
When Mick Jagger recently courted 27 year old ballerina Melanie Hamrick, their 44 year age difference seemed scandalous. But Sir Mick has nothing on his fellow 71 year old pal Jimmy Page. The legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist is now reportedly dating 25 year old actress Scarlett Sabet.
Depending on your perspective, Jagger and Page have either found the fountain of youth, or they're just a couple of creepy old perverts preying on young women with a lust for fame and some serious "daddy issues". Then again, there's a long list of rock stars who've fallen for women less than half their age.
Take, for example, Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis, who at 52, recently started romancing 20 year old Australian model Helena Verstergaard. Then there's 66 year old Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, who is rumored to be dating his 20-something "personal assistant" Aimee Preston.
Relatively tame, by comparison, is 55 year old former Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora's budding relationship with Oranthi, a 29 year old Aussie singer-songwriter known for her stint in Alice Cooper's band. Only a 16 year age difference? That's almost like dating an older woman on the rock star conversion scale.
