Leonardo DiCaprio, who has been heavily criticized for dating a string of models under 25 years old, has recently opened up on how rough dating in his 50s turned out, even in Hollywood.
Read on to find out his true reflection on the new dating era below.

In the Autumn issue of Esquire UK, Leo shared his reflection on what life he has to look forward to upon turning 50 last year.
The age became a turning point for him to be more honest and upfront, even if it meant risking having the things in his life “fall apart”, including his relationships.
“Turning 50 creates a feeling like you have a desire to just be more honest and not waste your time,” DiCaprio admitted to the unfiltered interview. “I can only imagine how the next few decades are going to progress.”
DiCaprio recalled his mother going through the exact same thing, and surprisingly embodied it himself: “I look at my mother, for example, and she just says exactly what she thinks and wastes no time. She spends no time trying to fake it.”
The Oscar-winning actor not only agrees with his mother’s sentiment but also echoes the reality he’s accepted: “It’s that you just don’t want to waste your time anymore. You have to just be much more upfront. It’s almost a responsibility because much more of your life is behind you than is ahead of you.”
It might just explain why he’s never addressed a single headliner of his 20-year-old dates in the past.

As endearing as DiCaprio’s sentiment is on the dating scene, the internet has gotten quite a hold of his dating patterns.
Despite most of them not being publicly disclosed, Leo is infamously known for dating 20-year-old models up until they turn 25, for a still unknown reason.
His headlining relationships started when he dated model Gisele Bundchen for five years, their relationship blooming when she was just 18 years old.
Leo jumped into another five-year romance with supermodel Bar Refaeli, who was 20 when they started seeing each other.
He then reportedly became romantically involved with Gigi Hadid after fueling romance speculation in September 2022. Included on his dating roster are Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively, 22-year-old Erin Heatherton, and Baywatch beauty Kelly Rohrbach, to mention a few.
Rumors about Leo’s dating habits were squashed in February 2023, when a source told Daily Mail that he is “not keen on the hype suggesting that he is seeking out these very young women” and that he is “looking for something more mature.”
