Nov. 19 (UPI) -- Evan Rachel Wood, now 26, was 19 years old when she started dating 36-year-old goth rocker Marilyn Manson, an on-again, off-again relationship she now attributes to youthful rebellion. But she was shocked by public criticism of their romance.
“People were pretty mean,” Wood, who stars in the comedy-action flick Charlie Countryman, told The Daily Beast on Saturday. “At the time I hadn’t yet been exposed to that kind of cruelty from strangers.”
