Anyone else find him intriguing?
Only dating younger women, the friendship between Kate W and him, looked like she was in love with him. I’m just intrigued about him…not sure why 🤣

If he's gay, why would he pick a succession of girls and not just one or two. And why so young ? Surely, if Hollywood doesn't want gay male leading actors then they also don't want age inappropriate girlfriends .

SurfBox · 25/08/2022 08:46

Also, it's hard to take someone seriously who apparantly can't have an age appropriate relationship. It makes you wonder if he has some weird fetish or underlying need to dominanate or control younger women

younger women are better looking-a hard truth but still a truth, it's the sex he is going for. I don't get the big deal.

That picture is him with his hand around her neck is him very angry and telling the women “don’t fuck with me” - she has a top on so I’m wondering if she is one of the staff - turned my stomach.

Yep, it's exactly that. There are injunctions upon injunctions following this guy around.

Quite a lot of people work in the entertainment industry, some of them are even on here!

Some amount of absolute nonsense on this thread.By the sounds of it some of you have been on Leos boat.

Blinds = blind gossip/blind gossip websites

Beards = women used as part of a fake relationship to cover up that a man is gay

God this is bringing back memories, I used to LOVE blind gossip websites 😄 did anyone ever announce who the female singer was who couldn’t really sing? That was a really long running saga……sigh, the memories!

Wasn' that JLo?

Having worked for a director/producer in the UK entertainments industry for a short period of time, nothing surprises me about any celebrity.

I love Leo in some of his movies but agree he only dates women and models in their 20's. Remember what Gervais said at the awards show about him but Leo laughed and just went with it. Lots of rumours about Leo and one of his best friends who is always with him am sure others have heard it. Just seems sad though that he has not moved on from the same thing he was doing 20 years ago. He has been with this latest woman a few years now, her expirary date must be up soon if she is near to 30.

Camilla - his latest beard flame is only 25. But agreed, she must be nearly past her sell-by date. He rarely dates them over 21-23 y.o. Leo seems like a nice guy and is quite attractive, but if he wasn't a Hollywood star, no way in hell would a gorgeous 25 y.o. model be with him.

As I said earlier in the thread, these 'relationships' never seem to go anywhere, and never get past the dating stage. And they are ALWAYS models, and they ALWAYS look the same. And there are always photos of them attempting to look romantic, (coz they know the paps are around,) and riding bikes through the city!

As you say @BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants it's quite sad that he is still doing the same thing as he was doing 20 years ago, and the older he gets, the younger the model girlfriends get (coz the age gap gets bigger with each model.)

I saw him and his model girlfriend (at that time,) kissing - a few years ago, (at an awards ceremony,) and it was so cringe. Looked like he was kissing his nan. No way was that a romantic relationship. I think the relationships are set up by their agents, and are not romantic ones, (so he can look cool with a gorgeous young lass on his arm, and she can enhance her modelling career by dating LEO.) But that's just my opinion. Is Leo gay? Or just not bothered about being married with children? Who knows? But yeah, the constant model dating (with women a generation younger now) is a bit weird.

These 3 pics illustrate (IMO) that there's no romance with these young women. On the pic where he and the blonde (Toni Garnn his girlfriend at the time) are kissing, this is where I said he looks like he is kissing his nan. Weird and uncomfortable to look at. And the pic where Leo has a white t-shirt, he looks like he doesn't even wanna be there, and she is just hanging off him like a limpet. The one in the hot top is cringe. Clearly no romance there IMO. Weird.

HOT TUB not hot top!

He dated Gisele Bundchen for quite a few years and she seems a smart tough cookie, can’t see her having been a “beard”.

Rememberwhydontyou · 25/08/2022 13:15

It does seem odd that if they were beards, he would have one maybe not so young (and not so many!) that’s the part I don’t get, why all under 25

FromEden · 25/08/2022 17:22

I think the photos taken before and after the "choking" pic would clear up any ambiguity. Why didn't they publish those? Probably because it was just an awkward kiss. That's what it looks like to me anyway

Willowthewispy · 25/08/2022 01:06

A previous poster said Kate Winslet had a good judge of character. Have you seen her publicly stick up for Martin Scorsese et al.

@FromEden the gay cult has been said over and over on this thread. Hollywood has a secret gay closet going back to the 40s apparently where you aren't allowed to be gay.

Nothing wrong with talking about a actually convicted phediphile but there has been strong accusations on here against Leo and his apparent like for young women.

No, I don't know what Kate said about Martin Scorsese, but I know what she (by deduction) said about working with Woody Allen and others and it seemed reasonably sensible? She's been workimg with top directors since the 90s so has of course worked with some wrong-uns. Leo however is a personal friend. I personally think she'd have dropped him by now if he was that awful.

Yes, odd that they didn't publish the whole reel if they were so concerned.

Honestly though, who really cares if she was? It makes literally zero difference to him being a good actor.

Thelodger · 25/08/2022 20:11

What did Scorsese do?

LetHimHaveIt · 28/08/2022 21:19

I mean - who the fuck knows? A huge number of these blokes seem, at best, 'suspect'. I really enjoyed the newest Spider-Man film, and thought Tobey Maguire (one of Leo's 'Pussy Posse') was great in it - but if 'Molly's Game' is to be believed, the man is a narcissistic sociopath and possibly a sex pest to boot. We've got 'Ted Lasso' nominated for loads of Emmys again, with Hannah Waddingham telling Jason Sudeikis she and her daughter owe him a massive debt or whatever - and meanwhile Olivia Wilde is heavily hinting that he's in some way controlling/abusive. 'Top Gun: Maverick' has been a complete smash - which is particularly good news for Miles Teller, given that his career was in the doldrums somewhat; he put a lot of people off with a fairly ill-advised 'Esquire' interview a few years ago, and apparently got into a fist fight with someone to whom he reportedly owes tens of thousands for something to do with his wedding. Tom Cruise's involvement with Scientology. Depp's legal woes. Brad Pitt getting pissed-up and punchy in front of his and Jolie's kids onboard their jet. Armie Hammer incredibly unlikely to make any more movies of note. Ansel Elghort. LaBoeuf. Ezra Miller. Casey Affleck. All accused of some deeply unpleasant things.

Although most baffling for me is why Kate Winslet is being held up as a barometer for human decency.

Startingtobechillyatnight · 28/08/2022 21:21

@LetHimHaveIt 🤣What’s up with Kate Winslet?

LetHimHaveIt · 28/08/2022 21:32

Nothing, as far as I'm aware. I mean - much was made of her 'sausage and mash and bikes and wellies' wedding to that third unit director, but she jettisoned him fairly quickly and is now on No. 3. No big deal obviously but it just seems curious to me that the Winslet seal of approval would mean Leo definitely isn't what's been claimed. I really like Simon Pegg, for example, but his position that Tom Cruise is a total normal guy who is completely wonderful to everyone and not the slightest bit loopy, is something I struggle with a bit and don't necessarily believe. I'm saying that having one star 'vouch' for another shouldn't be evidence of their being a decent person.
