Age ain't nothing but a number!

Major age differences between couples in Hollywood are becoming increasingly more common. Whether it's an older woman with a man, or vice versa, some of Tinsletown's most famous faces have been romancing much younger stars.

Here's a compilation of some of the most well-known celebs with big age gaps in their relationships.

1. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, 25-Year Age Gap: The couple wed in 2000 in New York after being introduced by fellow actor Danny DeVito. The two have stuck together through a string of ups and downs including Michael Douglas' battle with throat cancer and Catherin Zeta-Jones' bipolar disorder struggles.

2. Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison, 35-Year Age Gap: The unforgettable couple has seemingly flaunted their love affair despite the almost four-decade age difference between them. The two married when Courtney Stodden was just 16 years old, after she got legal approval from her parents. The Hutchisons most recently celebrated their two year anniversary at Disneyland, well, it is the Happiest Place on Earth!

3. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, 23-Year Age Gap: The pair met while filming former The Rum Diaries in 2010, but weren't romantically linked until after Johnny Depp split with his longtime partner Vanessa Paradis in 2012.

8. George Clooney and Stacy Keibler, 19-Year Age Gap: The hunky A-lister has never been shy of dating some of the world's most beautiful women, but he seems to have met his match in the much younger Stacy Keibler. The two have been very quietly dating since July of 2011 and don't show any signs of cooling down just yet. The two were most recently spotted on a dinner date in Berlin while Clooney films his latest project in the German city.

And these famous couples aren't the only ones taking part in May-December romances. Madonna's boy toy Brahim Zaibat is 29 years her junior, while Dick Van Dyke is an astounding 46 years older than his wife.

Annette Benning and longtime hubby Warren Beatty share 21 years between them, and Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi don't let their 15-year gap come between them either.

We bet that Harry Styles (who generally likes himself an older woman) will be the next star to land on this list!
