Age-gap relationships in movies (or at least between actors)

There's not much of a point to this but I thought it might be interesting (I can't find a lot of topics I'm interested in replying to, and there's not that much activity on the board).
Some random examples- Denzel Washington at 52 with Lamari Nadal at 29 in American Gangster (2007), Harrison Ford at 37 with Carrie Fisher at 23 in Empire Strikes Back (1980), George Clooney at 48 with Vera Farmiga at 36 in Up in the Air (I haven't seen this or even heard of it before now, apparently it came out in 2009), Brad Pitt at 41 with his now ex-wife Angelina Jolie at 30 in Mr. and Mr. Smith (again, I haven't seen it; it came out in 2005). Tom Hanks at 37 with Robin Wright at 28 in Forest Gump (which came out in 1994); I guess that's not much of a gap, etc. I'll add one more: apparently Richard Gere was 63 with Laetita Casta at 34 in Arbitrage (haven't seen it, never heard of it before now, it came out in 2012). I liked Pretty Woman (the article says Gere was 40 during production and duckduckgo seems to confirm that, even after I checked out his age for some reason I thought he was 39 or something, and Julia Roberts was apparently 22. I remember in the movie the manager at the hotel they were staying in advised them to pretend that she was his niece instead of a hooker). This article came out in 2013, would you say that significant age-gap relationships are less common in movies from this decade?
I'm already conventionally unattractive (especially body) but I'd love to age like Denzel. I was wondering how many women find/found him attractive in his 40s, 50s, etc. I'm terrified I'll lose everything on top/in the middle the next time I cut my hair.
