Some celebrity couples make you fill up with love, while others make you cringe with awkward, inappropriate feelings and thoughts. Reasons behind the awkwardness can be many, but they usually have something to do with age difference, abuse, opiate consumption, and even borderline incest.

Who else but the Father of Surrealism would be the man who would marry the “first noted cougar?”
