technically she wasn't even 1 day old when they met.

We don't know how old she was, but not likely to be only 1 day. Leeloo wasn't born in the clone machine.

Your point? In all the history of mankind, older men have been marrying younger women. Even young enough to be their daughters.

Love has no age limit. Unless your partner is under 18, because that's just gross.

That is what basically all of french cinema is about: Very young girl falls hopelessly in love with very old guy, who just happens to be about as old as the director or the producer.

In this particular case she was 22, Bruce Willis was 42. But the director, her husband, was 4 years younger than Bruce Willis.
