American Beauty Lolita gets hitched to 38-year-old cameraman

American Beauty's cheerleading Lolita Mena Suvari apparently has a thing for older guys in real life, too: The 21-year-old tied the knot with 38-year-old boyfriend, cinematographer Robert Brinkmann, two weeks ago.

Suvari's agent has confirmed that the couple got hitched in Northern California. They reportedly had been dating since meeting on the set of the upcoming comedy Sugar and Spice.

And Mena fans have watched her grow up quickly. The Rhode Island-born actress launched a thousand Websites when she starred as the virginal choirgirl in American Pie--which was quickly followed by her creepy turn as Kevin Spacey's lust interest in Beauty (she's the one with the strategically located rose petals).

Brinkmann, meanwhile, is probably best known for his camera work on Jim Carrey's black comedy The Cable Guy and The Truth About Cats and Dogs.

He also appears to be the guy Suvari was gushing over in the latest edition of Britain's Sky magazine, in which she acknowledges that her current "obsession" is an unnamed older man. The couple has stayed mum about the wedding details, and Brinkmann didn't accompany her at the Academy Awards Sunday night.
