What happened to Aragorn and Arwen?
She's 2700 years older than him! Beat that, Bond!
👏👏👏
but he's 87 so they're both elderly hehe
spiders Arwen, who lives in rivendell and is 2700 years older, is an outlier and should not have been counted
In terms of the actors, he was still about two decades older than her
@@rhiannongreen2642 yup about 20 years.
Bruh Woody Allen having the most movies with large-gaps by far says a lot about his decision to marry his daughter
Damn you for making me remember this horrible fact 😭
Before we grill Roger Moore too hard, it's important to note that he was very uncomfortable with the young Bond girls in his last movies and spoke out against it, but the producers insisted on young women.
Oh really? Even I didn't know he did that! I just made the comment:
"2:26 to be fair to James Bond, in "For Your Eyes Only", Bond (played by 54-year-old Roger Moore) rejects the advances of Bibi (played by 23-year-old Lynn-Holly Johnson)"
@@theultimatereductionist7592 Yeah, there is a famous quote from him where he said "Well, the leading ladies were young enough to be my grand-daughter and it becomes disgusting." It's the reason why he quit after View to a Kill.
True. True. But, to paraphrase Producer Guy: "Banging your granddaughter is TIGHT!"@@theomnitorium7476
yup AVTAK on the dvd with his commentary he mentioned how annoyed he was with tonya and others with their immaturity. There was something about pranking with their lipsticks too but i forget.
The only recent example I can think of where the woman was 15+ years older is “Lost City”. Sandra Bullock is 16 years older than Channing Tatum, and it wasn’t really addressed in the film. She was also 13 years older than Ryan Reynolds in “The Proposal”.
In the film, SOMETHINGS GOT TO GIVE Keanu Reeves, played Diane Keatons lover.
Sandra Bullock is also older than Trevante Rhodes, her co-star/onscreen love interest in Bird Box. Man, she's really crushing it with young guys, huh?
She also did this with Ryan Gosling in Murder by Numbers, they even dated for a while. So yeah, she's really killing it! 👌🏿😉
I guess "Prime" with Uma Thurman/Bryan Greenburg just misses out - she was just 14 years his senior.
Gross
Special mention to Angelina Jolie playing Colin Farrells MOM 😩
And Emmy Rossum playing Tom Hollands mom when she's only (check's notes) 9!! years older than him..... gross. One film that did get it right was Rachel McAdams (45) playing a mom to a teenager who was played by an actual adolescent child (12) - and Rachel still looks stunning. The man who plays her husband is 8 years younger than her! But it sounds like she was part of the production team or something.
Michelle Yeoh is older than Ke Huy Quan in Everything Everywhere is a recent example. Albeit just 7-8 years older.
Good point. Though they are both kind of ageless in appearance, to my Western eyes at least.
Lois Lane is a female character that is consistently older than her love interest (Clark Kent). Rachel Brosnahan is 3 years older than David Corenswet. Amy Adams is 9 years older than Henry Cavill. Margot Kidder was 4 years older than Christopher Reeve. The exception to this was Kate Bosworth and Brandon Routh.
On TV, Teri Hatcher is 1-2 years older than Dean Cain.
Love this fun fact
Bitise Tulloch is five years older than Tyler Hoechlin in Superman and Lois 👌🏿
OOOOOOHHHH interesting. Wonder why? The man has to be a fresh actor? While Lois has to be more worldy them him?
@@Ronariverah I'm guessing because that is what happened in comic book. Everyone knew Superman is a rookie reporter compare to Lois.
You forgot to mention TV show Lois & Clark, Teri Hatcher is 2 years older than Dean Cain.
Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly both got paired off with Gary Cooper and Bing Crosby and both loking more like their fathers than husbands.
true.
Don't forget Judy Garland and Fred Astaire in 'Easter Parade.' I believe Gene Kelly got hurt and Fred had to step in. Still, it's super off-putting.
Not having data after 2010 is a detriment to the discussion.
The thing that deeply pisses me off about this deliberate choice by the industry is that it translates into so few leading roles for extremely talented and experienced actresses. I'm hardly the first person to say it but my god the sheer loss of it all
Oh, the humanity. So tragic. LOL
women most effected
@@hope_peadSpoken like a true Tater tot, not using any science and expecting people to believe you. The only way a woman will ever touch you is with a taser.
The Reader is a movie that has an older lady and younger man. I think that came out in 2008? I just remember it because Hugh Jackman sang about it in his Oscars opening
How is Tom Cruise not among the top actors whose love interests are 15 years younger?
They said the data stops at 2010. Since then Cruise made 12 movies, that would put him on the list
@@servietsky67 he did not enjoy romance with 20 yr younger actresses though. Even Rosamund Pike, his Jack Reacher co-star is somewhat 14 yrs younger than him, while Emily Blunt 20. End of list.
@@amangoyal923you're forgetting his Mission Impossible costars, Rebecca Ferguson is 21 years younger and Hailey Atwel is 20 years younger
@@eileen_a_b but they aren't his romantic interests. Neither was Rosamund Pike in Jack Reacher.
@@eileen_a_b but they aren't his romantic interests. Neither was Rosamund Pike in Jack Reacher.
Now this is quality content. Very thouroughly worked out and very well presented. - By the Numbers is still an awesome show
Good video. I like that it talks about the role of women behind the camera, but it does miss an opportunity to mention that female directors still have pressure from male producers when it comes to casting
No mention of Wonder Woman? Probably a 18-1900 yr gap...
Just 7
Vin Diesel and Dame Helen Mirren had more on screen chemistry in one scene together than he had with any of the others in the entire franchise.
The list gets a little more even handed when it's a lesbian movie. It's always an older one seducing or being seduced by a significantly younger one.
2:26 to be fair to James Bond, in "For Your Eyes Only", Bond (played by 54-year-old Roger Moore) rejects the advances of Bibi (played by 23-year-old Lynn-Holly Johnson)
It seems the directors/writers just try to make their older man protagonist character seem “cool” by having them get the young hot woman
Come for the stats, stay for the random and wonderful Riverdale slam!
Never realized how bad it is. This really is disgusting.
Can you do a By The Numbers on height gaps in movie romance ? The shorter guy is almost always either bad, temporary, or played for laughs?
While actresses are allowed to be shorter they're still shoved into stripper heels for every scene to put them near eye level with their male costars - even in roles like cops, because those are SO practical for chasing down criminals.
If a short actor is good enough that they're willing to cast him in leading roles they just get creative with sets and camera angles. Tom Cruise, Vin Diesel, etc.
@@karilehman9882 Film makers commonly use "apple boxes" to adjust the heights of actors. They're small boxes of varying heights that one of the actors stands on. I acted in some amateur/student films in my 20's. They had to use apple boxes to adjust the height of 2 actresses I had kissing scenes because they were nearly a foot shorter than me and didn't want me to have to stoop to kiss them.
Hollywood has been fudging the heights of leading men for a good hundred years. The old apple box gets a lot of use. And next time you rewatch Star Wars take a look at all the creative blocking used to minimize the height differences among the cast - it's an art form.
Stop dismissing the Bigger Luke Theory!
Regina King is one of the few actresses who has younger love interests in her projects..
There needs to be a movie about Ben Franklin, that would sort this all out. And if you didn't know, Mr. Franklin was a big proponent of bedding older women. Sure there was plenty sexism in his writing, but I think it could be a fun movie.
Lol
Did not know this about Ben Franklin but respect 👊 (on the older women part, not the sexist writing part 🤣🤣)
No one movie can sort this all out. Not even Harold and Maude, outlier of outliers!
Nobody is gonna mention Blank Check for couple with older woman? Cuz the kiss in the end of it was definitely a crime….
That kiss was disgusting and vile. Abhorrent garbage kids movie.
Thank you for this video! 👏🏽
In Shazam 2 the girl was thousands of years older than the boy (It was addressed, weirdly and inconsequentially)! :p
American Pie movies - Jennifer Coolidge and Eddie Kaye Thomas? Not exactly a romantic relationship, but that was where the term "MILF" was coined. So, yay for feminsm?
5:44 OMG! Good catch! Dom & Queenie from the F&F franchise!
Thanks for this 😌💖
Very interesting, thanks
If you want older women, Norman Lear has you covered. Both Esther Rolle and Isabel Sanford were much older than their TV husbands.
Great idea for a video, but using data that stops at 2010 kind of kneecaps the relevance.
So well done. ❤ good job everyone 😊
I have been wondering how many of the leading lady winners and nominees of the academy awards were really leading roles. What percentage of the lines were spoken by the woman vs the lead man in the same film? Also comparing leading men and their number of lines.
0:41 Robert Taylor was only two years older than Vivien Leigh. (The film is the 1940 remake of "Waterloo Bridge"- one of the all-time romantic tearjerkers. The James Whale 1931 original with Mae Clarke and Douglas Montgomery (four year older than Clarke) is good too and much grittier due to being pre-code and without the MGM "gloss." However, I prefer the remake.)
Surprised they only showed footage of The Graduate, not even mentioning it
Behind the scenes, Anne Bancroft was only a few years older than Dustin Hoffman.
I - I'm too old for Leo?? I was born the year after Titanic was released...
And now you're too old for Woody Allen. (JUST KIDDING!!)🤣😅
We're all too old for Leo. Or... maybe he's too old for us.
Woody Allen is too on the nose 😂
Yes!
Spencer! Not only a great commentator but also a great movie fighter.
who did the titlecard? And how? Love it!
"Some call it robbing the Cradle, I call it robbing the grave." - Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth
Johnny Deep was 27 years old when He dated 18 year old Winona Ryder and They stared in Edward Scissorhands
Wondering if they're going by the actor's or character's ages?
I wonder if "The Final Solution of Grace Quigley" was included in the list. That's the other movie where you have a much older woman. Nick Nolte would have been 30 years younger than Katherine Hepburn.
How about that Viking movie where Nicole Kidman plays the mother of the lead actor (a Skarsguard?) and she is 5 years older than him
How about that Turkish show where a guys mother was played by a 6 years younger actress and his aunt who's at least 15 years older in the story was played by a 4 years younger actress.
@@sokoforrealz Magnificent Century. The story covered several decades and generations so that made the ages of the actors a bit messy relative to their characters and each other. The same actor might need to play a 17 yo and a 45 yo version of the character. Good show nonetheless.
Severe lack of Vampire romances in this video.
Was thinking that it's a Hollywood phenomenon, but then again it happens a lot in French cinema too...
This is flawed thinking, James Bond is 35ish in the books and movies, that they use older men to portrait him is another discussion.
If Roger Moore Bond is meant to be 35, that's just silly
If Roger Moore is 35 then I'm 15
Why does Spencer sound like he's on the toilet?
1 Bond movie had Diana Rigg a year older then George Lazenby
Just throwing this in here before watching: "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" has "5000 Year Old" Rachel Zegler dating/love interest with Adam Brody/Superhero Freddy / Jack Dylan Grazer /Freddy Freeman.
Wait... no Steven Seagal even listed.
Why's the video of gwaneth Paltrow case missing from screen junkies
fyi: in "cry macho," clint eastwood is 90+, his love interest is at least 40 years younger.
Stiffler's Mom!!!
I assume this video was inspired by Chris Evans’ recent nuptials?
Nuptials??? Woow. I swear I get my news through UA-cam comments now. 😂
42 -26 At least her brain is fully formed? 😬
Well at least he isn't a 25 and under kind of guy.
I wonder if this is done to: 1. Seemingly normalize the relationships of older men and younger women, and/or 2. Make the older men appear/feel younger by comparison and energy matching of the younger women in the film?
whats the movie in 3:50
On that note anyone remember Yashahime?
I doubt the success of Barbie is going to make any changes
Careful,
They might hear you.
This show must be the most rewarding for the researchers at Fandom.
3:22 Luc Besson didnt make this list?
this really is just art imitating life though. compare these stats to real life relationship %'s with the same conditions, and you'll likely see pretty damn close to the same breakdowns
2:30 to 2:32 - I'm in love.
Old woman, young man in Once Bitten... first place I ever saw Jim Carey
Good old Harold and Maude... THE outlier.
Great film!
They could’ve said about the data cut off in 2010
wow!
What happened to Cary Grant?
Woody the P Doe Allen.
Whether you think it's good or bad, to me this is just a reflection of our cultural history. Women look to older men for security and men look to younger women for breeding.
Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow. Wow.
It must be tremendously hard for an old man to be a romantic interest with a much younger woman in a Hollywood movie, wouldn't you say? You'd say that's very hard, wouldn't you? (insert response)
@@theultimatereductionist7592 actually it was...
5:44 About what? Them hooking up, or that franchise ending?
Probably both LMAO 🤣
Who is the woman at 3:51, sipping on a straw? I totally recognize her, but can't come up with a name to go with the face.
Where's the Blank Check reference?
There's also an older w0man in Alfie.
Maybe, instead of discussing [and promoting] the films, you could discuss [and promote the careers of] the women who refused the roles.
These actors are not "cradle robbing." Everyone spoken about in this video are consenting adult, old enough to drink, vote and go to war.
I wish this was remotely surprising.
Welp that was depressing😅
Good luck to you, Leo Grande
Anakin and Padme
Hello
Narration sounds like inside of a washing machine.
Just over 400 incels giving a thumbs down, because they think they should have gotten together with any of these fictional boys or girls :')
wow, grape is sour, huh?
I take it this only covers theatrically released movies, because if it included straight to video releases, Steven Seagal would be top of the list. Now everyone reading this needs to take a shower.
Now do the same for Bollywood.
Stifler's Mom???
Yeah, this video isn’t gonna cause any issues.
men like younger women?! whats next? women liking older men who have a career and can drive.....crazy world
I find nothing about this shocking or new. Evolutionary psychology explains it all.
It's not sexist, it's how the real world is. Stop trying to fix what isn't broken
will society ever stop messing with other peoples lives and preferences?
the video its too short..... more analysis
Everyone comments about how older women get screwed in these arrangements, but what about young men? They don't get with older women or younger women. They just get to play sidekicks with no chance at getting punani.
Yes, ofc. What about the men 🙄
4:36 So statistically women get more casted with younger men ? Then men with younger women?
😂😂😂 so creepy
WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS
Lucky guys!
Michael Jordan got divorced, remarried a woman 25 yrs his Junior & made 2 more kids !!!! Its great to be a man...and if your rich...(Leo DeCap) only time ends it 😂😂
