‘Give it up': Leonardo DiCaprio is being ruthlessly mocked for revealing how old he feels

The king of not dating people his own age, Leonardo DiCaprio, is being ruthlessly mocked after announcing that he feels like he is...... 32.
The 50-year-old Academy Award winner, who predominantly dates women in their early 20s, made the grand reveal during an interview with Esquire, when director, Paul Thomas Anderson, asked DiCaprio how old he felt.
'If you didn't know how old you are, how old are you right now?' The director asked.
DiCaprio responded, '32.'
He later joked in the same interview that he 'emotionally turned 35 last year,' which I suppose means he wants to make it clear he doesn't have the average emotional maturity of a 50-year-old man.
We could have all seen that coming: a guy who spends most of his free time strutting around on yachts with models doesn't precisely scream 'emotionally developed,' but what compelled him to admit it will remain a mystery.
It is amusing that even if DiCaprio feels 32, that doesn't even make him the same age as his Italian model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti.
In fact, they'd still be considered an age-gap romance; she's 27 now, but when they started dating, she was 24.
It's hard to know if DiCaprio felt 32 when he was in his late 40s, or if the mental age of 32 is a new perspective now that he is 50.
Did he feel like he was 28 when he was 49?
The Inception star has a long history of dating women noticeably younger than him, and considerably younger than his mental age of 32.
Before Ceretti, he dated Gigi Hadid in 2022; she was 27 at the time, and he was rapidly approaching 50.
Before he was canoodling with that particular supermodel, he was dating … you guessed it, another model.
Camila Morrone and the pair broke up either just before or just after she turned 25; the timeline is unclear, but DiCaprio was in his late 40s during that affair.
The movie star has also been linked to a bunch of other models throughout the 2000s, all of whom were in their 20s, while he was in his late 30s and 40s.
They include German model Toni Garrn, American model Kelly Rohrbach and Danish model Nina Agdal.
The movie star has a type, and it is models half his age; even if you consider the fact that he feels 32, most of his girlfriends have been in their early 20s. The man isn't even in having an appropriate age-gap romance mentally.
DiCaprio's history of dating women in their early 20 has become notorious to the point it has become a pop culture meme.
When pop singer Sabrina Carpenter turned 25, her cake was frosted with a meme of DiCaprio's face that reads, 'no don't 25, you're so sexy', a reference to the fact that he often doesn't date women above that age.
DiCaprio's revelation that he only feels like a man in his early 30s, rather than his actual age, has not gone down well. In fact, he is being brutally mocked over it.
People are genuinely worried that it is a line he uses with women he is dating, so they feel less awkward about the fact he is often old enough to be the father of the women he dates.
'That doesn't make dating women below 25 any less creepy,' one wrote.
Someone else claimed it sounded like a 'tactic' he used to justify hooking up with women way younger than him.
Smeone else joked 'give it up Grandpa' another said he was clearly using the fact he feels younger as an 'excuse' to date younger women.
'That is funny because emotionally 35 is still 10 years younger than anyone he's dated,' another joked.
'Straight man is emotionally immature. Groundbreaking stuff,' someone else said.
'He has a problematic age gap with himself,' another quipped.
DiCaprio's age-gap romance with himself certainly isn't doing him any favours, at least, not when with people his own age.
