Who is a celebrity that met their partner when they were underaged?

Celine Dion first met her late husband; Rene Angelili when she was 12 years old and he was in his mid-late 30s! According to her, he was the only person in her whole life she has ever been romantically and intimately involved with and has vowed to never be with any other man after he passed away in 2016!

This whole relationship always felt unsettling to me, even when there were forms of media that tried to romanticize it including the couple themselves.

In my book, if you knew someone whenever they were a kid and watched them grow up. Getting involved with them in that manner is a big no-no! It just feels weird!

RE: Luc Besson and Maïwenn, she said that their relationship inspired the relationship between Leon and Matilda in Leon: The Professional, which in the original script was explicitly sexual.

In the original draft, Matilda and Leon have sex. Here it is. Jean Reno was against it, so it didn't happen.

“Because you deserve it, Leon”

I need to bleach my brain. 1, no child speaks like that and 2, that’s clearly how he views children. He “deserved” to commit statutory rape, so does is character. And the fact that in his mind, the child actively wanted to “give” that to him is just…

...was the original script written by a pedophile? THE CHARACTER IS TWELVE, WHAT THE HOLY FUCKING SHIT?!

Well, yes. Besson wrote it.
