Whenever I see Marisa Tomei on talk shows, she always seems like such a cool woman with a great attitude about life. After winning her Oscar for My Cousin Vinny, I think people expected her to never live up to that early success, but she stayed in New York, worked constantly on a variety of different projects, aged gracefully, got nominated for another Oscar and… I don’t know, she just seems to have a great life. Well, I didn’t even know she was dating the young hottie and Tom Hardy look-alike Logan Marshall Green, but they’ve been together for a while, and now he’s proposed! So Marisa is going to get married for the first time at the age of 48. Mazel tov!
She was waiting for that special someone. And now Marisa Tomei is set to walk down the aisle for the very first time after accepting her boyfriend’s proposal. The Wrestler star’s groom-to-be is actor Logan Marshall Green, star of the summer blockbuster Prometheus.
The Oscar winning star, 48, and Logan spent a festive holiday season together and that’s when the 36-year-old actor popped the question.
‘He popped the question over the holidays,’ a source told In Touch. ‘She is very happy about the engagement.’
The couple has been dating on and off since 2008 after meeting while working on a New York theater project together. Marisa has previously insisted she saw no real good reason to get married or have children.
‘I’m not that big a fan of marriage as an institution, and I don’t know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings,’ Marisa told Manhattan Magazine in 2009.
Obviously, she just couldn’t resist Logan’s proposal.
Yay! Should we talk about the age difference? I don’t really care about it in this case – they’re both old enough to know the score, you know? It doesn’t feel like anyone is being misled or inexperienced or anything. It doesn’t feel like Marisa is some prowling cougar either – my impression is that she probably never thought she’d get married because the institution wasn’t for her. She only changed her mind when she met her Forever Dong. Praise it!
UPDATE: Oh, so Marisa’s rep denied this! Still, I want it to be true.

He is a nice looking guy and him and Fassy together in that one pic has now made my Friday!
I don’t think there is a thing wrong with this relationship/age difference. They look like a content couple and they have been together for almost 5 years apparently. If I had any concerns it would be that she was so adamant NO MARRIAGE and now she is acquiescing…I hope it’s real feelings and not mid-life crisis talking. Other than that…congrats to both.

I agree. They are a very attractive couple. She does not look her age at all! She still looks fantastic and I’ll even say she’s sexier than some actresses half her age. I wish them both the best of everything in their upcoming marriage.

Didn’t see this coming. Had no idea they were dating. See Hollywood you can keep your love life secret if you don’t want to whore it for the cameras. Congrats to them.

haha! Good point!
My mom is 15 years older than my stepfather, and they have been married for 23 years. Older woman-younger man can work it seems, if the woman is very solid in her skin.

My mom was thirty-four when she married my twenty-one year old stepdad.
They’ve been together since I was four, and now I’m eighteen.

Maybe because it’s a slow hot man week over here on CB, but I’m in board with the Hardy-alike, in spite of the blue steel. I’m even feeling the Grizzly Fass with you, Ms. Kay (although sadly, not literally).

He looks like a skinny Tom Hardy. Oh, and he has a twin brother:

I think he’s somewhat between Hardy and Kutcher. I see a strong Kutcher resemblance….is it only me?

Good for him, recognizing the hotness of Tomei! Aging naturally (I think) and she still looks better at 48 than many of the younger surgery faces we see these days. Also, she’s talented, so there’s that as well. Basically, I love her and I like him even more now.

I was thinking that also. The tiny wrinkles just make her more attractive, IMO.

Marissa has never been on my radar but I have to admit she looks really good for her age. She could pass for her 30′s. Her fiance is Hawt.

She looks so great! There’s no need to talk about the “age difference”, it’s minor compared to the father/child bride pairings we so often see.

Really nice couple. And the age difference is not really visible – she doesn’t look much older than him. The best thing, though, about this pairing is that there’s still hope for ladies in their 40′s!

Very happy for both of them, they’ve been together a long time. I remember looking him up when I saw that she brought him to one of the awards shows a few years ago because (like a few others here commented) I thought he was Tom Hardy. The resemblance was much stronger back then when they were both playing soldier boy-type roles.

I’ve always liked her, and she looks great. I’d never guess she was 48!
Age difference doesn’t bother me – once you’re in your 30s, 10-15 years doesn’t matter so much, IMO.

He just doesn’t have “it”, does he? There’s something about Tom’s magnetism and charm that is kinda unique and HOT!
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I think it’s the lips and the eyes. And whole sex appeal of Tom’s that is: “I will do things to you that may shame me and/or get me arrested but it would be beautiful and marvelous and I would regret nothing.” At least for me, anyways…

Having seen these two in person years ago I can attest to how utterly stunning they both are. I never would guess her to be 48. And the classy way in which she handled being accosted by some crazy fan on the street left me really impressed. Love her.

She is aging very gracefully. In this case their age difference is hardly noticeable. I don’t think she will get married, it’s obvious she doesn’t care to be married or have babies.

This guy is hot & a really good actor. I have mainly seen him as a character actor playing parts on various shows (such as “Law & Order SVU”). However, his acting always makes an impression on me. Good for Marisa…whether they’re engaged or not.

TREY! Watch out, girl…he’ll try to attack you on the beach! (Sorry…that was the “OC” fangirl in me coming out. Anyone remember how he played Ryan’s criminal brother, and then he attacked Marissa Cooper at the beach? That show was *heroin* to me. Lol!)
Glad I saw that Ms.Aubra upthread remembers Marisa’s first big role, as Maggie on “A Different World”! Lol She had red hair then, and she was one of the girls who lived in the dorms with Lisa Bonet when she left The Cosby Show and went to college. I’ve always loved Marisa. My favorite movie of hers was “Only You,” with Robery Downey Jr. The Rome travelporn in that movie is beautiful!
