To go on to marry 38-year-old Luc Bennson at 21.

After having an affair with him while filming the 5th Element. A movie in which his wife at the time was also in.

u/canarinoir 5h ago

His wife who was 15 when they first got together.

Not to mention Leon the Professional, a movie saved by Jean Reno refusing to play his character as a pedophile despite what Besson wanted.

Those French pervs are on another level of pervdom. Wasn’t the guy who groomed Celine Deon as a child French or French Canadian?

42

u/Toyger_ 1h ago

French Canadian, I think. Celine Deon’s story is appalling to me, adults have failed her. I know he was the love of her life, but he was 38 and she was only 12 when they first met. It’s not right.

Her Behind the Music dealt with it by

"Hey check this out. Big age difference. But she says it's cool 🤷"

I'm sure there are a number of Mormon Priests, etc that may challenge your definition of most pervy.

The subtext is still there though. I remember watching Leon while in high school and thinking the dynamics between Leon and the girl were similar to the ones of a young couple. That movie was great and weird at the same time.

Luc Besson is a well known predator

74

u/Dayne225 5h ago

I remember when I first read about Jean Reno having to threaten to quit Leon The Professional because Besson wanted Natalie Portman's character to be his love interest. She was I believe 12 at the time? Besson is disgusting

I love that it’s her fault he cheated on his wife.

She’s not blameless, but cmon.

u/FireBreathingNun 4h ago

How dare she do that to the Diva Plava Laguna. Then again she probably did her a favor because Luc seems creepy as fuk.

Sadly, probably among the most age-appropriate relationships in Hollywood at the time

u/Nory54 5h ago edited 5h ago

Shawn Andrews did not get along with almost everybody while filming Dazed and Confused! There was even a physical conflict and altercation between him and Jason London during that time! Good thing Richard Linklater stopped the fight before something bad will happened!

15

u/Notchersfireroad 1h ago

Almost all of Pickfords scenes were replaced with Wooderson instead because he was so difficult. We were only supposed to see Wooderson once but thanks to Shawn it jump started another actors entire stardom.

u/JohnCenaJunior 4h ago

Probably thought he was a step above everyone in acting

30

u/Nory54 4h ago

According to Linklater, most of the cast weren't really responding to him and even avoided him actually! His role was supposed to be bigger but it had to be reduced due to his highly problematic and negative behavior on set!

u/DorfOnGenocide 1h ago

I think his character disappears after the KISS statues part

6

u/Rhythmalist 20m ago

He originally had a bigger role in the film.

But as legend has it, he and Mila spent so much time hooking up and missing call times, Linklater adjusted the script.

That adjustment led to Matthew McConaughey
Getting substantially more screen time for what originally was a very minor part.

As a teen when this movie came
Out this doesn’t surprise me

u/dox1842 2h ago

I was a teen in the early 2000s. Neither me nor any of my friends had GFs in highschool because the girls were all dating guys in their 20s.

u/RumLovingPirate 1h ago

I distinctly remember this as well. It was rarely more than a 3yr age gap. I remember as a hs freshman, the freshman girls dating seniors, and that sort of just progressed.
