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 🤣

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

I don't get this either!!! They are never older than 19-23 y.o. They can't have anything in common. I don't know a single girl/young woman of that age who would even CONSIDER a relationship with a man of nearly 50! Shock You'd think he'd have moved on now, to women of around 30. Still pretty young/a fair bit younger, so he can look good. Grin

It is odd that he's never settled down.

Why? Lots of men don’t.

A lot more men do settle down eventually though. Very few stay single.

However I do agree that it's perfectly OK for a man to be single forever. If he so wishes. And it's not fair to shout 'he is obviously gay!' See also Cliff Richard. Forever single, but maybe that's what he has always wanted. Not fair people assume these men are gay purely because they've never got married.

However, LEO dating a constant stream of gorgeous young models for the past 22-23 years, (usually from Victoria's Secret) who are always much younger than him (now 25 years younger than him!) and who have a bigger age gap each time he has a new one, is the odd bit. Not the fact he is still single at nearly 50.

Why does he always have to be dating a model? Why are they always a generation (or more) younger than him? Why do they ALL look the same? Why do we always see the same 'paparazzi bait' photos posed (both on bikes riding around the city?) And why do the relationships never move past the 'dating' stage?

THAT is the 'odd' bit. Not that fact he is still single at nearly 50.

BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants · 29/08/2022 20:31

To WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps those photos I get what you are saying, and he looks like he is trying to escape from hot tub by pushing his back so far into it. Agree always the cycling photos the same. Would these women be doing this to up their profile so would be in on it. Most people would not give a damn about his sexuality I know I wouldn't. But I do understand as other Hollywood actors said when they came out they never got the roles they thought they should. I never fancied him ever but when he was younger had a beautiful face. Always loved the young Johnny Depp but that's another story that is very complicated. If he is into women well then he has some issues as never see any emotional connection with any woman he was involved with.

BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants · 29/08/2022 20:34

Those young models are into him as the lifestyle it all offers, if he worked as most of us do in fairly normal jobs then I do not think he would be dating all these young 20 -26 year old women as it all seems a bit sad and if he only sees them as a body and no real emotional connection.

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.

His body language could also be because he treats women as commodities and thinks the situation is purely transactional. Hence there is no proper romantic bonding going on there - he is in it for the sex and image, they are in it for the money and slight fame.

I think he's just a typical ageing, raddled, sleazy bloke with a dad bod who has opportunities with women the typical man does not.

Now, the one I find intriguing is Keanu Reeves with Alexandra Grant, who provides the opposite type of image for Keanu - grey hair, seemingly artistic (although not as genuinely artisticly successful as she would have you believe - she's not averse to telling porky pies about which galleries have displayed her works and where charity money she raises has gone), not obvious girlfriend material for a Hollywood star at all.

It's weird how men are always seen as perverts for dating younger women, but women like Vivienne Westwood are celebrated. I find the latter pretty cringy too tbh. Especially all the photos of her partner half naked with her smiling smugly on the background or with her hands all over him. 🤮

Huh? Women are mocked and pitied for thinking they have a much younger partner. Like, oh bless, he'll leave her soon.
Madonna is hardly envied, by men or women.

People certainly don’t celebrate Sam Taylor-Johnson for her relationship with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, it’s widely seen as ick.

Emmelina · 30/08/2022 21:52

And just like that… many posters have said the current lass must be ageing out!

@WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps Cliff Richard is gay! He has a place out in Barbados and the locals told us that he is often out there with his boyfriend.

When they first got together there was quite a few female journalists celebrating their relationship and claiming age is just a number

he was so young she was in a position of power and influence completely inappropriate

Right?! How can people think Cliff Richard is straight?? There's so many photos of him and "companion" John Mcelynn. The locals were shocked when we told them that it's not common knowledge in the UK that he is gay.

RJnomore1 · 31/08/2022 10:05

That’s Leo split with his latest gf apparently

zingally · 31/08/2022 10:44

He was my teenage crush!

From being such a good looking young man, he hasn't aged very well. And his interest in only dating much younger women... while none of my business, obviously - isn't very endearing.

Still a great actor though.

SleeplessInEngland · 31/08/2022 10:46

I know we're all meant to be appalled by it but I struggle to care. He's the most bankable movie star in the world - the norms of his dating life are so far removed from the rest of ours that comparing the two feels silly. If it's legal then... whatever.

I'm inclined to agree with this, (save the part about his being the most bankable film star in the world, which he isn't. Seldom makes the top ten most years, these days.

Incredibly rich, attractive (not to me but to many), fit, talented, interesting career, the world at his fingertips... I don't blame people with those resources for wanting to enjoy life, have fun, not get tied down! Especially as a man with no biological clock, he can fuck around for decades and then meet someone in his sixties for kids if he wants to.

He's hardly fit. Have you seen recent photos of him? He's bloated with a hugely distended gut.

I think (relative) innocence is vastly under-rated, and once its gone, it can never be retrieved. At some point of all the sleeping around with identikit contract girlfriends young enough to be your daughter (and they will be on contracts), you lose yourself and things which should be meaningful lose their meaning.

There are plenty of wealthy people in the world who manage to retain their values. Di Caprio strikes me as someone who lacks self discipline and has a lot of bad habits.

Agree he is rich and attractive, but who the F seriously wants to have kids in their SIXTIES?

Let's see a photo of YOU then (and your man - if you have one - with his belly showing.)

Vile post. Hmm
