Vincent Cassel, 51, steps out with his 21-year-old wife Tina Kunakey in Paris

The Longchamp 70th Anniversary Celebration in Paris

A few weeks ago, French actor Vincent Cassel married his girlfriend of a few years. It would have been notable no matter what – Vincent’s last long-term relationship was his marriage to Monica Bellucci, and they were considered to be the hottest, sexiest European couple by many. They were like the European Brangelina. Vincent and Monica ended in divorce a few years back, and Vincent took up with a young model named Tina Kunakey. There is literally a thirty-year age difference between them. Vincent is 51, Tina is 21. They were married in a simple but elegant wedding ceremony in France in late August – you can see the photos here.

Well, I guess it was a short honeymoon, because Tina and Vincent made their first appearance as newlyweds last night in Paris. They attended Longchamp’s 70th anniversary celebration at Opera Garnier. She looks… beautiful and very young. I’ve always thought Cassel was so sexy, and I’ll admit it, if I was 21 again, I would have been up for a 30-year age difference if it was Vincent Cassel. But would I have married him at that age? Eh. I kind of think that she’s not in it for the long haul. She’s thinking, “I’ll just stay married to him until it’s not fun anymore.” Maybe they’ll have a baby though. You never know.

    Her hair is on point…I’ma hook up that hairstyle this weekend! She is glorious looking and she makes him look decrepit AF…so if that’s the image he was going for…he ACED IT!

    • Zapp Brannigan says:

      I love this comment so much I want to marry it and move to the suburbs with 2.4 kids, a cat and a goldendoodle.

      She is stunning next to him, next to her he looks every bit of his age.

      • whatWHAT? says:

        agree as well.

        she is gorgeous…the hair, the skin, the lips…and he looks like a pepaw. I’d go further than “looks every bit of his age”…I think he looks much older than 51. he must drink and smoke a lot.

      • Nancy says:

        That woman weighs more than he does. I commented below, he looks unhealthy. Was he the dude in Black Swan. Never thought, other than the eyes, he was good looking, but now he looks emaciated. Maybe she’s into sick, skinny old guys…….with money???

      • futurenicole says:

        My dad is 71 and he looks better than this 51-year-old. (No smoking for dad, very little drinking.) Hmmmm

    • Snowflake says:

      Yes, i love her hair!

    • stacey says:

      HAHA YES

    • DiegoInSF says:

      He looks like he’s in his deathbed. Never got the attraction and yes I’ve seen him in many movies.

    • Ronaldinhio says:

      This girl is so beautiful that I notice noting else in the photograph

    • Sick-n-Tired says:

      Lala, you ain’t sh*t for this comment lol! I’mma need you to log off for a little while.

    • TandemBikeEscapee says:

      I think she’s stunning, but the body language is a bit heart breaking. She’s posing -away- from him, whilst he looks forlorn.

  2. cherry says:

    Sorry, I can’t, not even if it’s Vincent Cassel. ‘His girlfriend of a few years’ made me hurl- if the girl is really 21, that means they started hooking up when she was still a minor, and he was in his late 40s. That’s gross, no matter how you spin it.

    • Lala11_7 says:

      THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

    • Eliza says:

      Seriously!!

    • TheHufflepuffLizLemon says:

      *vom* thanks for that math. How gross…

    • whatWHAT? says:

      yeah, I thought about that too.

      when I was 18, the idea of hooking up with a late-40s would have grossed me out. I remember a friend of mine telling me that one of her college friends (we were IN college at the time) had a “boyfriend” who was 30-something. he took her on vacations, shopping, etc…but I was STILL grossed out. my friend and others were like “oh, you’re so lucky!” and I’m all “EWWWWW”.

    • Zoe says:

      Thank you for pointing that out. I am surprised that was dropped in so casually. This whole relationship is gross and it has zero to do why she is in it and everything with him perusing a teenager when he’s pushing 50.

    • Nancy says:

      Thing is (I’m late to the party), his wife was gorgeous. Italian born, 18 years together, 14 married, two kids. Same ole story, he trades her in for a young chick who could be his daughter. He doesn’t look well, I’d like to know what happened.

    • Lex says:

      They got together in 2016 so the absolute youngest she could have been was 18 turning 19….that’s not a minor…???

      • cherry says:

        The article says ‘his girlfriend of a few years’ – not that they got together in 2016.

        But yeah, thanks for pointing that out. If she was 18 it’s totally okay to get together with a guy in his late 40s. #sarcasm

      • Lex says:

        Ive read many places thats when they started seeing each other…
        And a pile of people just above were grossed by her being a “minor” which she was not. I made no other comment about the appropriateness or morality of their situation.

      • whatWHAT? says:

        in the US, under 21 years of age (legal drinking age) means you are a minor.

        I don’t know if that’s a legal definition, but it holds for a lot of folks. to add, I know that they’re in Europe so that’s not exactly the same thing, but the writers are in the US, so…

    • Starkiller says:

      Age of consent in France is 15, so no. Not denying that the age difference is still gross, but she hasn’t been “a minor” for six years.

  3. Tiffany says:

    Man, he looks his age next to her doesn’t he.

  4. OSTONE says:

    These pictures are giving me a “took my grandpa to my college art exhibit” vibe.

  5. RBC says:

    He is only 51?

    • Juls says:

      He looks 70. And would look 70 without her next to him. Hard living?

      • BengalCat😻 says:

        Hard living , bad genes… I saw Liz Phair perform the other night and she’s his age, but looks 25. He used to be sexy but all I see is gross old man.

      • whatWHAT? says:

        I agree, he looks like (as I said above) her pepaw. I bet he drinks and smokes a LOT.

    • Jamie says:

      Standing next to a beautiful young woman ages men. I don’t think they know that.
      George Clooney never looked so old until he started standing next to his young, statuesque wife. Now, he too looks like someone’s grandpa.

    • Pansy says:

      Right?! My 52 year old husband has a clean(ish) lifestyle and looks two decades younger than this guy!
      BUT I’m not 21. Maybe it’s relative to the super beauty beside him…..

  6. Michael says:

    She should just get $$$$ tattooed on her forehead

  7. Jenns says:

    It looks like a father posing with his daughter.

  8. LizB says:

    No. Just… no no no.

  9. HK9 says:

    Love her shoes though. 🙂

  10. anna2222222 says:

    I find that age difference offputting and yes he looks verrrry old alongside her. Honestly though, I’m a lot younger than him and he can still get it. Any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

  11. minx says:

    He looks terrible.

  12. Naddie says:

    I bet she can run faster than him, even in high heels.

  13. cherry says:

    Speaking of the late European Brangelina, anybody know what the lovely Monica Bellucci is up to these days? Is she also prancing around with a 21-yo boyfriend? I’ll be really disappointed if somebody tells me that no, she isn’t, she’s at home taking care of her and Cassel’s two children.

    • Parigo says:

      I don’t know what she’s up to now but I think they always had an unconventional (read: open) relationship. He lived in the 20th arrondissement in Paris which isn’t glamorous and she was thought to not spend too much time there. And he was often seen out with young pretty things, so now he married one.

  14. T.Fanty says:

    They both got the crazy eyes going on. This is going to end poorly, mark my words….

  15. Bug says:

    I really like Cassel, but he seems to have aged dramatically in the past few years. Wow.

  16. Diana says:

    She is breathtakingly beautiful

  17. Lightpurple says:

    I love the horse statue photo bomb over his shoulder.

    He looks much older than 51 in these pictures. More like 71. Is he sick?

  18. Zoe says:

    “if I was 21 again”
    Well I can answer as I will be 21 soon.. He may be great actor sure but hot? He looks like a grandpa next to her. Gross age difference.

    • Mira says:

      Right? I’m 21 and I would NEVER (not that he’d ever be interested in me, but still)

    • Ginger says:

      NEVER waste the pretty. You’re only young once, don’t hand your youth to a 50-something womanizer who looks 70-something. Ugh.

  19. If he’s happy & she’s happy…cool. Every relationship is 2 people receiving something they want/need from the other. I know a couple w/ a 34 year age difference & together 38 years…still thrilled with each other. An anomaly? Maybe. But it is what it is.
    Like Kaiser’s last line…you never know.

  20. Cupcake says:

    It’s gross. Hopefully it’ll help her career.

  21. Alex says:

    She’s beautiful, no comment on him. These pictures are actually better than their wedding pictures IMO, he looks a tad better here & that’s not saying much. He calls her his ” bish” ugh. Goodluck to them anyway.

    Monica Bellucci was the first celebrity woman I found truly lovely and still do. I hope she’s happy & living her best life too.

    • Derriere says:

      If he’s saying his “biche,” it means “doe,” “little deer,” “pet” in French. It’s actually a cute, nickname in relationships in French.

  22. NWRose says:

    I remember his hot days when he was with Monica but now, no thanks. If I were 20 something, I would have also taken a younger Vincent out for a ride but def not marry him. Good luck to the bride.

  23. Elle says:

    Get that paper girl. Don’t know what else to say.

    • KLO says:

      Yup Girl. Make it work and get that career.

      He looks as grey and wrinkly as my 70-year old father.

      I am sure they are into it right now but eh…..

  24. Amy Tennant says:

    I agree that the age difference n’est pas bon if one was a teenager when they got together. I did google for other pictures of them, and there are more flattering ones of Vincent out there. The pap shots here in particular aren’t doing him any favors. He doesn’t look this decrepit all the time is what I’m saying. And of course looks aren’t everything.

  25. Ginger says:

    She already looks unhappy.

  26. saltandpepper says:

    She’s gorgeous, but looks like high maintenance. He’s gross. Cancelled.

  27. Nancy says:

    Man, he has shrunk. He almost looks ill. She looks pissed off. All in all, one not happy looking couple. Good luck I guess!

  28. Londongal says:

    Her stunningness is illuminating the fact that our Vince ain’t aged well. (Pains me to say.) he looks like her Grandad, never mind Dad!

  29. Huldah says:

    Does it mean he is age mates with Halle Berry and nine years younger than Angela Bassett? Good Lord!!! He looks 100.

  30. CK says:

    I hate the age gap, but given the opportunity, I too would have probably dated/married Vincent Cassel in my 20s especially after dating a few years. Idk, but I really don’t want to have a prolonged dating relationship with anybody. At the 1-2 year mark, I’d be evaluating whether I can see myself settling down with this person in the future. I’m definitely not the 5-7 years BEFORE an engagement type.

  31. Kerfuffles says:

    He’s only 51?! He has aged like guacamole at a summer picnic.

    She is GORGEOUS.

  32. Digital Unicorn says:

    As others have said, standing next to her he easily looks like he’s collecting a pension. He’s a good actor but as a person has always creeped me out.

    I give them a few years at most – she’ll be the one to move on to someone younger. I would not be surprised if she ends up moving into acting, has a few starring roles and then dumps him.

  33. RoxyRoller says:

    I’m so happy for Gollum. He finally found his precious.

  34. Olenna says:

    Y’all are killing me with these comments! Peepaw! LOL! Dude is getting no sympathy here for his mid-life crisis.
