GARY COLEMAN - STROKES STAR IS A 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN

Former DIFF'RENT STROKES star GARY COLEMAN is a real-life 40-year-old virgin, despite secretly marrying a 22-year-old redhead. The former child actor recently wed Shannon Price after a whirlwind courtship - but the two have yet to consummate their union. And when they do, it'll be the first time the pint-sized star has made love. Coleman, who turned 40 last week (08Feb08), tells U.S. news show The Insider he's still a virgin: "It's my business, it's my issue and I really don't think it's a problem." But he insists he never set out to become a 40-year-old virgin: "I don't choose to be one, I just am. I have love in my heart, I have the desire; I just don't know what it is. "It'll happen when it'll happen, and it'll happen for all the right reasons."
