Luc Besson Met Wife When She Was Just 12

Luc Besson, the acclaimed French director of The Fifth Element, has had a controversial personal life, especially regarding his relationships. He met his second wife, Maïwenn, when she was only 12 years old, and he was 29. Three years later, they began dating, and by the time Maïwenn was 16, she became pregnant with their first child. The couple married shortly afterward.

Maïwenn has since claimed that Besson's iconic film Léon: The Professional was inspired by their relationship. The movie focuses on the emotional bond between an adult man and a 12-year-old girl, which has drawn criticism for its disturbing parallels to their own relationship.

A few years later, while directing The Fifth Element, Besson cast Maïwenn in a small but memorable role as the opera-singing alien Plavalaguna. However, it was during this time that Besson began a relationship with the film’s lead actress, Milla Jovovich. Jovovich, who was 19 at the time, spoke about the immediate chemistry she shared with Besson, which only grew throughout filming. Besson was 36.

This affair led to the end of Besson’s marriage to Maïwenn, with the couple divorcing in 1997. That same year, Besson married Jovovich, though their marriage lasted only two years before they parted ways.

Besson’s romantic entanglements have often mirrored the controversial themes in his films, making his personal life as noteworthy as his cinematic career.
