James Woods New Girlfriend Almost 40 Years Younger23 May 2006 Academy Award nominated actor James Woods has been reported to be dating an aspiring actress nearly 40 years his junior.
19-year-old Ashley Myrick was photographed with her 58-year-old love interest as they shared some romantic time in New York?s Central Park. The image of the couple seemed familiar to a scene the pair did together as they guest starred on the HBO television show Entourage. On the show, Myrick played the girlfriend of Wood?s character.
?Ashley has it all, beauty, brains and charm,? explained Woods. ?I knew her when she was a little kid.?
James Woods is no stranger to romantic encounters with actresses. Names like Nicollette Sheridan (Desperate Housewives), Heather Graham (Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me), Missy Crider (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) and many more once found placement in Wood?s black book.
One obstacle for budding romance was the fact Wood?s was good golfing buddies with Ashley Myrick?s father John. He has reportedly given his blessing to his daughter?s relationship with Woods, his longtime acting friend.
?She is astonishingly gorgeous and the funniest person I?ve met. We spend a lot of time together, playing poker and karaoke,? said Woods. ?But we?re just good friends, of course, nobody believes it.?
