Does it seriousherly not bother any one that?

Bruce Willis is 20 years older than Milla Jovovich. Did that not come off as just a a bit creepy to anyone but me.

When two people are of a certain age it doesn't matter.

Also, it can be a nice pairing. An older person who is a little mentally tired can get revitalized by a younger person while a younger person can find an older one quite interesting.

I completely agree, some people find it difficult to accept. A friend of mine is in his 40's and his girlfriend is just 21. Yeah it was weird at first but they're the same mental age and enjoy the same interests. Fair enough.

But anyway Bruce can do whatever he likes, he's freaking Bruce Willis after all. :-)

Did it bother me? No, no it did not. Next question.

Plus, it's not like Willis looked that much older than Jovovich. I love him, and think he's aged extremely well, and I think he had reached his peak, looks-wise, during this movie. He was just gorgeous, and I truthfully the difference in their ages didn't jump out at me at all.

For what it's worth, they tried to make him look younger. Also for what it's worth, in the context of the movie, Milla's character was much much older than he was.

Not really. It didn't affect me at all but I guess because I was 13 when the movie came out. I mean, it wasn't until I was in my 20's when I realized that Phyllicia Rashad was over ten years younger than Bill Cosby and playing his wife.

Age is just a number.

I didn't even think about it. But I don't have an issue with it now that I have.

My dad was exactly 20 years older than my mum.

I think once both people are adults, age is more a logistical issue. Not a moral one.

Please do not make negative comments about a film YOU NEVER SAW. It makes you look stupid.
