Hollywood has always done this from what I can tell by the old movies my grandmother watches. It's not only a problem but a damn creepy one at that. This has got to come from Hollywood's past and even current creepazoid treatment of younger actors and their sex for hire ideals. I remember reading recently that some actress, I think Gyllenhaal,was told that a 37 year old was too old to put with a 55 year old... WTF? Seriously, Hollywood is kinda creepy here people. Is it their belief this will mean more guys will show up if they believe they can have a lady 30 years their junior? Is it a way to show young women they should set their sights on a higher age when dating? What's the belief system here, I just don't get it.
It's just what's attractive, so it's what sells. Older, more established men are more attractive than younger, riskier men. Younger women are more attractive than older women. Why is that a bad thing?
I think with many films, authenticity is far more important than what's attractive. And I think if many directors got their way, they wouldn't hire some of the pretty actresses that can't really act. Like Jennifer Lawrence.
