The 48-year-old actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who is notorious for dating models under 25, was recently photographed with another model, 19-year-old Eden Polani. After a picture of the two of them from earlier this week went viral on social media, the Wolf of Wall Street star has been under fire on Twitter for his purported relationship with the 19-year-old model.
Leonardo and Eden were first recognised together when the two were recently caught seated close to one another at an EP launch party for Detroit-born rapper Ebony Riley. Leonardo's last romance with model and actress Camilla Morrone ended last year.
One user stated, “Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend is so young her high school experience was interrupted by COVID 19." Another commenter noted that his most recent girlfriend was not even conceived at the time his 1997 blockbuster Titanic was released. Another commenter compared the age gap between Leonardo and Eden to that between The Last of Us' Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, saying: "leo (48), eden polani (19)... pedro pascal (47), bella ramsey (19).... david harbour (47), millie bobby brown (18), just to really illustrate that gap."

The Academy Award winner was criticised and his actions were described as "predatory" in a user remark. “Stop making jokes about Leonardo DiCaprio being a almost 50 dating literal teenagers and start calling him what he is – a predator." Another user also voiced in the same way, saying: “At this point I can’t even join in on the jokes anymore, if leonardo dicaprio is approaching 50 and dating a teenager, then he is an actual sexual predator let’s be clear.”
The next movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio will be Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, which is based on the best-selling novel by David Grann of the same name. Lily Gladstone, Brendan Fraser, Robert De Niro, and Jesse Plemons are also featured.
