I’m not first one to be with a younger man: Demi Moore

She may be credited with sparking a boom in the number of women seeking young lovers.

She may be credited with sparking a boom in the number of women seeking young lovers.

But Hollywood star Demi Moore says she doesn’t understand how she’s become a poster girl for cross-generational relationships.

The 46-year-old star,who is married to actor Ashton Kutcher who is 15 years younger to her told W magazine,”I’m certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man,but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster.”

“I don’t know why that is. But I just kind of step back sometimes and say ‘There is some reason,and what is it that I have to share in a positive way?’,” Moore added.

Moore’s marriage to Kutcher has been reportedly instrumental in causing a surge in women looking to date a younger man.

In 2005,just 8 per cent of single women in their 40s and 50s said they would date a man five or more years their junior. Today,more than a third said they would consider a younger man,according to online dating service Parship.

Despite the age gap,mother-of-three Moore said she and Kutcher 31,are still very much in love.

“Now we’ve had the physical time together. The love he has for me makes me a better person by giving me the courage to take risks. I can fail and have someone who loves me just the same. I never knew it was quite possible,” Moore said.
