10 Iconic Couples of the Golden Era Then and Now (6 of 6)

Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich — The Fifth Element, 1997

One day, Korben Dallas picks up a confused, scantily clad redhead named Leeloo, and their weird sci-fi adventure full of ugly aliens, government conspiracies, and ancient mysteries begins. It’s not a romantic shoo-in, more of a dad-daughter vibe, but their on-screen chemistry is unparalleled. Nowadays, Willis has retired from acting after a diagnosis of aphasia was announced in 2022, and a year later, it was determined to be frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Milla Jovovich is still taking on plenty of action/fantasy roles, starring in all the Resident Evil movies and, more recently, George R.R. Martin’s In the Lost Lands.
