20 Things Only Marilyn Manson Fans Will Understand

17. He's Made Some Icky Dating Decisions

When you're 19 years old, it's typically wise to date within your age group, or at least cap it off at college seniors. Of course, when you're a 19-year-old celebrity, the rules don't exactly work the same way. However, it was still seriously super skeevy when Manson, then 36, started hooking up with the very young and impressionable Evan Rachel Wood. We're still trying to burn the music video for "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)" out of our memories without much success. When even Wood later went on to say that people gave her flack for dating Manson, you know it was a match made in hell. As Manson fans, it's a bit embarrassing too. It's bad enough when he goes cavorting around with Courtney Love. The 17-year age gap between Manson and Wood at the time was too weird even for us.
