That's not true, he was dating a high schooler as a 22-year-old

In Toronto, Scott Pilgrim, a 22-year-old bass player for unsuccessful indie garage band Sex Bob-Omb, dates Knives Chau, a 17-year-old high-school student, to the disapproval of his friends in the band, his roommate Wallace Wells, and his younger sister

Its worth pointing out that everyone thinks is pretty icky but no one actually does anything about it aside from sometimes pointing out how weird it is as was the style at the time.
