Although Steve Martin could not be thought about as an old man, the truth is that he is 61 years old. He is not a decrepit old bird, but he is neither a young macho man anymore. However, although getting old is nothing you could battle or escape, Steve Martin’s recent idea seems to show the actor’s struggle to escape the time’s embracement.
Steve Martin has invited about 75 guests to his surprise wedding to Anne Stringfield. The guests have initially thought they had been invited to a party, but when they have seen that it was about a wedding, they have been rightfully surprised. Important stars such as Diane Keaton (who acted alongside Steve Martin in “Father of the Bride”) or Tom Hanks have been among the Martin’s guests that he has tricked in this hilarious way.
The former Senator of Nebraska Bob Kerrey has presided over the ceremony and Steve Martin’s best man has been Lorne Michaels, the creator of “Saturday Night Live”. This surprising wedding is the first one for the 35-year-old Anne Stringfield, who is a graduate of Pensacola High School and a former staffer of The New Yorker magazine. For Martin it will be the second marriage, after he divorced the British actress Victoria Tennant in 1994.
