Leonardo DiCaprio's ‘bizarre' behaviour exposed by UK pop star Diana Vickers
Don't miss out on the headlines from Hook Ups & Break Ups. Followed categories will be added to My News. Leonardo DiCaprio's 'bizarre' behaviour has been exposed by British pop star Diana Vickers. Vickers, who rose to fame on The X Factor before finding success in the West End, opened up about the time when she met the Hollywood star. Vickers described the time she was personally invited to the actor's home, only for the encounter to play out very differently to how she had expected. Pop star Diana Vickers has revealed details of her run-in with Leonardo DiCaprio. Picture: Instagram. 'I did meet Leo once,' she said on her new podcast Just Between Us. 'He will have no memory of meeting me. One of his mates invited me around to his house. I thought it was going to be a party. Then I ended up just sitting with him watching telly.' 'It was a really, really bizarre moment,' she continued. Vickers went on to suggest that she was just one of many women invited to spend time with DiCaprio. 'He surrounds himself with these good-looking lads, who are all looking for a good time. 'The good-looking lads go and source these hot women for him. 'That stuff happens a lot in Hollywood. These men have got so much fame and power, and they don't want to grow up. Leonardo DiCaprio was 'bizarre' according to Vickers. Picture: Getty. 'They just want to be surrounded by beautiful young women all the time. I am not generalising Leo here, I think that's just what happens. It's quite weird actually,' she added. It comes after DiCaprio revealed that he has one big regret about his career. 'I'll say it even though you're here: My biggest regret is not doing Boogie Nights, DiCaprio, 50, told Paul Thomas Anderson, who directed the 1997 epic, during an Esquire interview published Wednesday. 'It was a profound movie of my generation,' DiCaprio said, adding, 'I can't imagine anyone but Mark (Wahlberg) in it.' The Hollywood icon told Anderson, 55, that he thought Boogie Nights was 'a masterpiece' when he saw it for the first time. 'It's ironic that you're the person asking that question,' DiCaprio said to the director, 'but it's true.' DiCaprio turned down the role of Eddie Adams/Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights to play Jack in James Cameron's disaster film Titanic. Wahlberg, 54, took the lead role in Anderson's film about a young nightclub dishwasher who becomes a porn star. The movie, which was nominated for three Oscars, also stars Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Heather Graham.

Bikini-clad Vittoria Ceretti spanks boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio's butt during romantic yacht trip
Vittoria Ceretti got feisty with her boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio, as she slapped his butt while vacationing in the Mediterranean Sea. The model was photographed giving the actor a spank while he walked ahead of her on the stairs of a yacht during their vacation off the coast of Formentera Island over the weekend. They were both soaked in their swimsuits, with DiCaprio wearing black swim trunks and Ceretti leaving little to the imagination in a black animal-print bikini. The A-list couple spent some time splashing around in the ocean, and Ceretti, 27, gave the Titanic star, 50, a towel to dry off with afterwards. They were also spotted chatting while basking in the sun with friends sitting nearby. DiCaprio and Ceretti spent some quality time together after joining Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's star-studded nuptials in Venice, Italy, in June. Page Six exclusively revealed they were dating in September 2023 when the pair was caught making out in an Ibiza nightclub. The Wolf of Wall Street star has been known to date younger women, including Gigi Hadid, 30, and Camila Morrone, 28, and breaking up with them 'before [their] pre-frontal cortex has fully developed.' DiCaprio, however, recently defended his dating habits, telling director Paul Thomas during an interview with Esquire that he feels younger than he is. 'If you didn't know how old you are, how old are you right now?' Thomas asked. 'Thirty-two,' the Inception star quipped, adding that he 'turned emotionally 35 last year.' 'Your age is 50, but your emotional maturity is 32. How does that feel?' the pornographic film actor, 76, questioned. DiCaprio explained that after his birthday last year, he had the desire to 'be much more upfront' and not 'waste' his time. 'It's almost a responsibility because much more of your life is behind you than it is ahead of you,' he added. The Departed star explained he's aware of the risks of 'things [falling] apart,' and 'going your separate ways in any type of relationship in life — the personal, professional.'

'Who cares?': Denzel Washington dismisses cancel culture
Denzel Washington doesn't care about cancel culture. The Oscar-winning actor was dismissive of the concept when asked if he feared being "cancelled" during an interview to promote his new movie Highest 2 Lowest. Denzel asked Complex News in response: "What does that mean - to be cancelled?" When told by interviewer Jillian Hardeman-Webb that "it means you lose public support", the Gladiator II star said: "Who cares? What made public support so important to begin with?" Washington also poured scorn on the interviewer's claim that "followers are now currency". The 70-year-old star said: "I don't care who's following who. You can't lead and follow at the same time, and you can't follow and lead at the same time. I don't follow anybody. I follow the heavenly spirit. I follow God, I don't follow man. I have faith in God. I have hope in man, but look around, it ain't working out so well." Denzel continued: "You can't be cancelled if you haven't signed up. Don't sign up." The star has won two Oscars for his roles in Glory and Training Day and says that he's "not that interested" in landing another Academy Award. Denzel - who has received 10 Oscar nominations during his career - told Jake's Takes: "I don't do it [make movies] for Oscars. I really don't care about that kind of stuff. "I've been at this a long time, and there's times when I've won, shouldn't have won, didn't win, should have won. "Man gives the award, God gives the award. I'm not that interested in Oscars. People say: 'Well, where do you keep it?' I say: 'Next to the other one.'" He went on to add: "I'm not bragging. I'm just telling you how I feel about it. On my last day, it ain't going to do me a bit of good." Denzel found it hard to take when he missed out on the Best Actor gong at the 2000 ceremony for his role in Hurricane to Kevin Spacey's performance in American Beauty. He recalled to Esquire magazine: "At the Oscars, they called Kevin Spacey's name for American Beauty. I have a memory of turning around and looking at him, and nobody was standing but the people around him. "And everyone else was looking at me. Not that it was this way. Maybe that's the way I perceived it. Maybe I felt like everybody was looking at me. Because why would everybody be looking at me? "Thinking about it now, I don't think they were. I'm sure I went home and drank that night. I had to. I don't want to sound like: 'Oh, he won my Oscar', or anything like that. It wasn't like that."
