Marylin Manson's "Twin" is Evan Rachel Wood
Marilyn Manson has found his "twin" in girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood, who is 19 years his junior. "I've found my double, my twin, with my new girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood," the 38-year-old rocker told France's Le Parisien newspaper.
"She's l9 and certainly that's very young," he said, "but that's not a problem for me. She likes the same things as me. She understands I like to get up when night falls and go to sleep at dawn."
Manson, 38, was in Paris for a few days to promote his upcoming album, Eat Me, Drink Me. He said depression and his ongoing divorce from wife Dita Von Teese, 34, inspired the album.
"Our relationship ended at Halloween," he told the paper of his split with Von Teese last year. "I was completely destroyed psychologically. I'd rented a house and begun working on this disc, which sort of tells everything that happened to me during the past year."
Manson and Von Teese were married in December 2005. Sources told People magazine that Manson's relationship with 19-year-old Wood was a factor in Von Teese's decision to file for divorce in late December.
"I was married to someone who wanted me to change," Manson says. "Become more adult, more responsible. I began not to like myself, not like what I do. I lost my identity. Everything began collapsing around me. The record allowed me to put an end to that. Dita left at Christmas while I was recording."
Manson can be fairly certain that his 19-year-old girlfriend won't be asking him to become more adult any time soon.
