Dennis Quaid and his interview with The Guardian

The negative comments going around about the age gap of 39 years between Dennis Quaid and his young fiancee, Laura Savoie do not bother Dennis. He spoke to The Guardian about it and in fact, defended it.

Talking about the ongoing criticism of him dating a much younger woman, Dennis said:

“That was really a laugh,”
“I thought it was wonderful actually.”

Dennis said that neither he nor Laura is taking the criticism as an offense. He said that they are not taking it personally and are not at all hurt by the comments.

Dennis Quaid and his insistence

The actor emphasized that the negative comments have no impact on them. He said:

“No, it really doesn’t bother us,”
“Everyone comes from the perspective of their own life and so I can’t comment on the way they feel; I can’t even get angry.”

But Dennis clarified that he had never deliberately looked around for a girlfriend that young. It was, never his intention to do so. He elaborated:

“I didn’t go out looking for an age gap or someone really younger than me,”

It just happened to the elderly boyfriend. He continued:

“I met her at a business event and then the relationship developed.
“You have no control over who you fall in love with,”
“I don’t fall in love easily. But I can’t let what a few people think control all that. I’ve been married three times and this is the final one, I know it is. I feel like I have a real partner in life.”
