Movie Destroyed the Diva’s Marriage
Without Diva Plavalaguna, The Fifth Element wouldn’t be the same with her ice-blue hair and futuristic outfits. However, just before filming got underway, the original actress chosen for the role withdrew, leaving Luc Besson without a leading lady.
Fortunately for him, Maïwenn Le Besco, his ex-wife, intervened at the last minute to support him, and what a fantastic job she did! Unfortunately, Besson’s marriage to Maïwenn ended abruptly when he became rather close to Milla Jovovich, his second starring lady, while filming.
