He was too old for her

Saw this movie as a child in the late 1990's on TV.. even back then I was like? ''that age gap i huge''. Let's be honest, she's young enough to be his daughter.

Fun fact, Jennifer was 14 when filming the Labyrinth.
That being said I don’t think the film showcased anything remotely inappropriate concerning Jennifer, everything was done tastefully imo.

No kidding, a Faerie King would be expected to be hundreds or thousands of years old, and still appear to be in his physical prime!

Which is why the film didn't develop the relationship between the principals into a romance, just had the actors exchange a few smoldering looks and called it quits.
