come on Arabic feller doesn’t worry
about age ain’t nothing but a number but
in the case of these age gaps it’s a big
number
messy too
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie couples with ridiculous age gaps
charming erotic no question about that
for this list we’re looking at those big
screen couples that have such a large
age gap that we can’t help but be drawn
to it and wonder just what the
characters are thinking why do you love
me I’m so awful to you
you smile this gap can be one that’s
explicitly stated in the movie or one
that’s a result of the actor’s actual
ages we’re including intentional age
gaps too not just those movies in which
it’s hoped we wouldn’t notice but we’re
excluding one-night stands and other
one-off relationships how old it’s not a
guess by your eyes I’d say you were 50 I
went by your eyes I’d say you were kind
so to be eligible the two people in
question have to be or become an actual
romantic or sexually intimate couple in
the movie we move number 10 Grace Kelly
and James Stewart rear-window they
admitted especially who knows we’re
going back over 60 years for this entry
with a mystery thriller featuring two
screen legends in one of Alfred
Hitchcock’s finest masterpieces it’s
pretty hard for you to keep away from
that word isn’t it
in the film Jimmy Stewart’s Jeff
Jeffries becomes convinced that his
neighbor is a murderer so he enlists the
help of his very obviously younger
socialite girlfriend Carol Fremont
played by Grace Kelly when rear window
was released
Kelly was about to turn a chipper 25
years old the perfect age for the social
scene like to see
big telly the only thing is that Stewart
was a middle-aged 46
making their gap a troublesome 20 plus
years how’s your leg hurts a little
I do stoma I have there’s a football you
loved I’m not too active number nine
Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson as good as
it gets
yeah what do you care this film won both
the Best Actress and Best Actor Academy
Awards so age differences aside at least
we know the lead performances are good
is bothering you
after he’s entrusted with his neighbor’s
dog Jack Nicholson’s Melvin Udall begins
to fall for the only woman who will
tolerate him Helen Hunt’s Carol Connelly
there’s some idea how strange that
sounds this despite their age difference
of over 25 years which makes Nicholson
old enough to be hunts father I’m not
going to sleep with you I will never
sleep with you never ever it’s still
oddly sweet to see a 60 year old
Nicholson Court someone almost half his
age that way we’re not screwy
just do people that like warm rolls
number 8 Julianne Moore and Joseph
gordon-levitt Don John just watching
what now it’s okay hard no I’m not
judging you during the previews for this
movie about a porn addicted young man
everyone expected the then 32 year-old
Joseph gordon-levitt to end up with the
much closer in age 28 year old Scarlett
Johansson however the film threw a
curveball at the audience when the
titular Don John decided to begin a
relationship with Esther played by the
53 year old Julianne Moore the 21 year
age difference is somewhat hard to grasp
while some might consider John’s
relationship with Johansson’s Barbara
more normal considering their age
difference his move to a woman 21 years
his senior is essential in pinpointing
his characters progression
yeah about we get what writer-director
JGL was trying to do but it was
definitely unexpected
it’s a two-way thing and love it number
seven
Olivia Wilde and Liam Neeson third
person quite as sweet as me have you had
many women here the requisite a lot for
some reason we just can’t envision the
stoic Liam Neeson being with anyone this
young and especially the gorgeous Olivia
Wilde but alas third person proves us
wrong as Neeson’s Michael is in an
on-again off-again relationship with
wilds Anna right sugar enough you don’t
want me to know how much you missed me
Neeson was 61 years young when the film
premiered and wild only 29 making their
gap of 32 years more than a little
disconcerting despite how awesome Neeson
is and shut up
brilliant that’s only five years less
than the age gap between wild and her
actual dad so yeah in the romance
she is basically dating her father ah
sweet he’s trying to save her from
herself I’m not your child don’t act
like one
number six Maria Schneider and Marlon
Brando Last Tango in Paris with its
American who’s a v-neck so murrica
Marlon Brando is practically a God among
actors so really who cares what the age
gap is you get to work with Marlon
freakin Brando let’s go
I left uh more to eat more such seemed
to be the case for 19 year-old Maria
Schneider who had to pretend to be
sexually interested in Brando a man over
28 years older than she was when her
character begins an anonymous sexual
relationship with his in this erotic
drama no let’s just look at each other
the film focuses on their anonymity but
their intimacy is one of companionship
and lovemaking so it can be a bit hard
to imagine an almost 20 year old getting
it on with a 48 year old difficult
I didn’t either yet you know trying hard
enough
number five Lolita Davidovich and Paul
Newman blades powerful expression of
basic human needs in this loose
adaptation of blaze star’s memoirs Paul
Newman stars as Earl long the brother of
an assassinated governor who falls in
love with a young stripper blaze star as
played by Lolita Davidovich got a little
treat for you cheer up honey the actress
was 28 years old when the movie was
released and Newman was 64 but since the
movie is supposed to be based on reality
we can’t be too amazed by the gap I
realize never had a chance to make love
to it my power cloud there 36 year age
difference is a reminder that Affairs
like this actually take place
considering the real age gap between
long and Star was about the same give or
take a few months might be a humbling
experience
number four Catherine zeta-jones and
Sean Connery entrapment you do your pomp
I do my sure we can see being interested
in Sean Connery when he was the cool
suave James Bond of the 60s with his
chiseled cheekbones and slicked back
hair
loners good enough no bullshit
I hate alone alone sucks but the white
haired balding 68 year old version of
Sean does not seem to bother Catherine’s
Jin Baker June in this 1999 caper flick
SATA Jones character is an insurance
investigator who falls for an aging
thief Connery’s Mack mcdougal during a
heist now come on
too easy considering he was turning 69
years old at the time of entrapments
release it’s a little hard to believe
that Jin would fall for him especially
since Catherine wasn’t even 30 yet
making the age gap a Grand Canyon sized
39 years
number three mariel hemingway and Woody
Allen Manhattan like mmm-hmm I’m
locative you getting through to your
right
yeah often considered one of Woody
Allen’s finest films Manhattan follows
Woody’s Isaac Davis a TV comedy writer
who is dating Muriel Hemingway’s
teenaged Tracy reach the age gap is
explicitly stated within the film and
might be considered disturbing to some
as Isaac is 42 and Tracy only 17 I’m
older than my father do you believe that
not only is this a 25 year age
difference but their sex life is verging
on illegal as New York law states that
an individual over 21 cannot have sex
with someone under 17 when you’re 17 now
when you’re 36 I’ll be sixty three sixty
three right Thank You number two sue
Lyon and James Mason Lolita put your
head back
open your mouth you could have one
little bite leave it to stanley kubrick
to adapt such a provocative story
the film adaptation of Vladimir
Nabokov’s novel follows a middle-aged
man named Humbert who falls for a
flirtatious teenager the age difference
is constantly brought up throughout the
movie is it just you in the girl as
Lolita is mistaken for Humberts daughter
due to their 20-plus year age difference
what makes you say I’ve stopped caring
well you have anyone kissed me yet honey
in real life Mason was 53 when the film
was released and sue Lyon was barely 16
so when you think about it it’s almost
like you’re watching a young woman be
with someone that could pass for her
grandfather oh there’s no point in going
into that it’s all over
but then again we guess that’s the point
9 40 41 42 43 4 45 46 before we unveil
our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions a few of these this
one anyone talk too fast I wasn’t really
looking for anything permanent right now
but I really like seeing you oh you’ve
got to come we’re all going down on the
boat you didn’t in button
well it isn’t his carnival
somebody was shooting it and it wasn’t
an accident
no one shooting you know you know I’m
pretty sure this is a bad idea number
one Ruth Gordon and bud cort Harold and
Maude like some licorice
perhaps one of cinema’s most diverse yet
memorable couples Harold and Maude have
been amazing audiences with their
50-plus year age gap for generations
sure picking up on faces the plot of
this romantic dark comedy revolves
around 20-something Harold played by bud
cort who becomes disillusioned with life
and soon begins a relationship with the
79 year old Maude played by Ruth Gordon
there’s a million
you know there are while the film may be
beautiful meaningful and a true classic
it also seems unrealistic to imagine
that a twenty-something young man would
be so romantically interested in someone
his grandmother’s age one little
surprise that I hope will make you very
happy
I am and yet Harold and Maude’s
reputation has grown over time become an
midnight and the fact that the film
makes you think about life is perhaps
what we should take away from it the
most I love you I love you
do you agree with our list what movie
couple do you think has the most
surprising age gap oh when the saints go
marching and oh when the saints go
marching for more non conventional top
