Leonardo DiCaprio — one of the most famous actors in the world, easily — turned 50 last year. Here’s a picture of him from earlier this summer.
OK, so here’s a picture of Leonardo at the Golden Globes back in 2010, when he was roughly 35 years old. Why am I showing you this, you may ask?
Well, Leo recently granted an extremely rare interview with Esquire in conversation with celebrated director Paul Thomas Anderson — who helmed the forthcoming film One Battle After Another, which Leo stars in. That’s a very Leo-centric poster for it below.
In the interview, PTA asks the following: “Here’s a question Esquire wants me to ask. ‘You turned fifty last year. Does it feel like a natural time for reflection?’ Leo replied by seemingly clarifying the question as, “You turned emotionally thirty-five last year.”
Now, as you’re probably aware, Leo has established a pattern in the past of dating women under or around 25 years old — and seemingly discontinuing the relationship when they turn 26. (It also should be noted that his alleged current relationship with 27-year-old model Vittoria Ceretti breaks that pattern.)
So, of course, Leo talking about feeling younger as an older man is an easy layup for the internet’s many wisecrackers. Here’s a sampling of the reactions:
Spicy stuff! You can read the rest of the interview here.
