I know this has been discussed before but I am sickened by the thought of the latest rumours surrounding his love life. 19 years old? Just so wrong!

Ooh the monthly post about Leo and his beards.

BellatrixLestrangesHeatedCurlers · 07/02/2023 12:08

I wish he'd just come out tbh!! He's coming across as a dirty old man now.

DragonHouse · 07/02/2023 12:09

They’re both adults.

Agree. Personally I think an age gap that big is rank, especially when she's not even out of her teens.

Galadriel90 · 07/02/2023 12:21

He's 48 and she's 19. The power imbalance is awful. He super seedy.

peachgreen · 07/02/2023 12:57

They are both adults and I don't think anyone is arguing that he should be arrested, but it is still grim.

catandcoffee · 07/02/2023 13:14

each relationship he has......they get younger and younger..soon be dating 16 year olds then 15 year olds.

Spring2023 · 07/02/2023 13:14

He's gay
They're beards

daretodenim · 07/02/2023 13:15

It's actually like he's trolling. He's got he be aware of what's been said about the age he goes for. He doesn't care. He's gone younger.

🤢

LadyHarmby · 07/02/2023 13:17

It’s up to both of them isn’t it. They both get something out of it I guess.

Most men would sleep with gorgeous young models if they could. Just so happens he can so why not?!

hugefanofcheese · 07/02/2023 13:19

If he is gay, what's stopping him from coming out? Genuine question. I've no idea whether he is or isn't. 15-20 years ago I could understand but the world is so different now and he is beyond merely established as an actor and financially. He's not fighting for leading man roles anymore in heterosexual romances. I'm sure the media/ film world wouldn't explode in his face and tbh, dating teenagers isn't a great look on a man nearing 50 so reputationally, he's not really protecting himself well.

KimWexlersPonyTail · 07/02/2023 13:25

Many of these girlfriends are models/aspiring actresses from the same agency. I guess they get a couple of red carpet events and trip on a yacht to raise their profile then they send him another one! If he is gay its a good gig for them, if not its pretty creepy.

ArcticSkewer · 07/02/2023 13:27

None of these are actual relationships so it's fine in that sense.
Not a great look but it's all about the PR for up and coming models etc

I like to think he's chooses them because they're drop dead gorgeous rather than for their age 🤞🏻

LadyKenya · 07/02/2023 13:43

Why are people saying he is gay? If he is, surely that would not be a problem.

hothands · 07/02/2023 13:48

I don't think he's gay. I have a theory though that once people become famous, they get stuck at the age they made it, and it's even worse when they become famous at a young age. He's had no need to develop a rounded personality as he's been surrounded by yes men, so he has the emotional intelligence of someone in their late teens, hence why he always dates women half his age. I don't think he could handle a mature woman who knows her own mind (nothing against those younger woman either, but from experience, I know I was more easily manipulated as a young woman).

Still gross though. He has the power and control of someone extremely rich and famous but the developmental age of a teenager. Not a good combination.

EmmaEmerald · 07/02/2023 13:51

🎤 they would toast to me, oh
let the players play
I'd be just like Leo.. <points mic at MNers to sing the line>

jay55 · 07/02/2023 13:56

Kate Winslet's daughter is older than Leo's latest.

Teenagers are alien life forms to me, but I didn't suppose he expects a conversation with her.

MattDamon · 07/02/2023 13:59

Damn, that puts it into perspective, doesn't it!

He has a 'special friend' he is seen everywhere with - Tobey Maguire.

Show quote history

Dating a 19 year old at his age is horrible.

Speculating over someone's sexuality is also horrible.

ArcticSkewer · 07/02/2023 14:05

It's also a bit naive to say it wouldn't be a problem if he came out.

Considering how many non famous male actors are gay (ie most of them!) there aren't very many famous ones. Of the famous ones, how many play leading man roles with female partners?

AllOfThemWitches · 07/02/2023 14:05

I just can't imagine being 19 and having satisfying sex with a 48yo man.
