His current girlfriend was born the same year Titanic came out.
He's 44, she's 22. That's just creepy.
shareLeo doesn’t date past 25.

They are both consenting adults. There is nothing creepy about it.
shareA brother and sister can be consenting adults.
shareLeo and his girlfriend are not brother and sister though. They are not related and are consenting adults. Nothing creepy about their relationship.
shareI think there is. When there are conversations about his high school years, she would have no frame of reference because she wasn't born then. If they both live to be 70, that will be 20 years that she won't get to have those experiences with him.
shareYou know that's a false analogy, right?
sharePeople throw in "consenting" to stop people from saying "oh, rape is okay then", so I'm just just adding to that. It's not just about them being consenting adults.
shareExcept rape isn’t consensual, that’s why it’s called rape. And who says “rape is ok”, other than rapists?
shareThat's not what I mean. If you are saying there is nothing wrong as long as they're consenting adults, I say there is something wrong, because they can be brother and sister even if they consented to it. You throw in "consenting" because if our don't do it, people are going to jump on your back and say "so a relationship is okay even if it's not consenting?"
Another example would be like if I say, "I like apples" and then the other person would say "what do you have against oranges"? I might be inclined to say "I love all fruit", just to avoid that stupid accusation again.
You keep mentioning brothers and sisters, that's irrelevant, and a false analogy as others have said. Most people don't support incest. And nobody cares if you like apples or oranges, which funnily enough, you're comparing apples to oranges whenever you bring up incest, they're completely different things.
Leo and his current girlfriend are both consensual adults, that means they're both grown-ups and can make they're own decisions, and they both decided to date each other. If it's not consensual, then obviously it's not ok. But it is consensual. It doesn't matter how much older he is than her. I personally don't care for older people at my current age, but that's me.
Leo and his current girlfriend are both consensual adults, that means they're both grown-ups and can make they're own decisions, and they both decided to date each other.
This is my point. You're essentially saying that just because they're both consenting to it, that means that I can't comment on their relationship. A brother and sister can both consent to being in a relationship together, but that doesn't mean I can't criticize the incestuous part.
Most people don't support incest.
Most people don't support relationships with a big age difference, especially when the girl was 19 and he was 43 when they first started dating. share
You're saying it's creepy because he's too old. We're saying his age doesn't matter, it's not like he's dating a teenager or a child. That would be weird and illegal. You also keep mentioning incest, which has nothing to with this since they're not related.
Most people don't support relationships with a big age difference,
Speak for yourself. Most people don't care as long as they're both adults and both agreed to date each other. share
Speak for myself? It's a joke that so people make about him. Ricky Gervais made a joke about it at the Golden Globes where even Leonardo DiCaprio laughed. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_NTDEN4VZik
And what if it wasn't incest? What if it was a step sister? Or better yet, what if it's someone like Celine Dion's husband who knew her when she was 12 and he was 26 but they didn't get together until she was 19?
But they're not step-siblings, and the husband waited until she was 19, so nothing wrong happened there. Again, you keep coming up with scenarios that have nothing do with this Leo and his girlfriend.
These are two adults, that aren't related by blood or by law, that both decided to date each other. That's it. You can think it's weird, but it's really not. Ashton Kutcher was married to Demi Moore, and she's way older than him. Same thing, two adults, not weird.
So you get to choose that they're relationship is okay based on your standards, but when I think they're age difference is weird, I can't have that opinion?
shareIt's one thing if you just thought it was weird, like it irks you in some superficial way. I already said I wouldn't date people that are much older than me, but that's my preference, and I don't mind if others have different preferences.
But your reasons, or standards, are based on incest and if someone was under-age, neither of which apply to Leo and his girlfriend.
My reasons aren't based on incest. I'm saying that saying "they're consenting adults" is not enough. Consenting adults could also be into incest.
shareThen stop mentioning incest, because it has nothing to do with this. Your opinion, your standards, your reasons, are based on faulty logic.
You and I might not date older people, but others do, and as long as they're both consenting adults, and not blood-siblings or step-siblings, it's fine.
Case closed.
as long as they're both consenting adults, and not blood-siblings or step-siblings, it's fine.
You finally get it! Saying "as long as it's consensual" doesn't take into consideration consensual incest.
share
And you still don't get it. Incest was never an issue here.
shareAnd neither was consent when I said I find it creepy that a man of his age was dating a girl that young.
shareI get that you think it's creepy, and maybe that relationship would never last in the long run, but as long as she's over the age of 18 when they meet, there is nothing wrong it.
In a case now with him being in his 40s if she was younger when they met there might be a case of grooming involved, so if she's of age when they meet, it's fine.
I know it's fine, but I find it creepy. Especially how he continuously does it.
shareI think he doesn't want a relationship, dates younger women because it won't last, but still probably includes decent sex. He is getting to the age where it won't be possible for too many more years. Unless he goes the sugar daddy route.
shareThis imbecile OP keeps pounding the incest angle even though it's completely irrelevant. As long as both Leonardo and the woman desire the relationship (consent), there is nothing immoral or illegal about it, and it's none of anybody's business. OP is entitled to his opinion, no matter how illogical and stupid it is; nobody is saying he's not.
shareAs long as both Leonardo and the woman desire the relationship (consent), there is nothing immoral or illegal about it, and it's none of anybody's business.
This argument is different than what the other person I replied to (not sslssg) is saying because you specified it with one word: immoral. The other person was saying that if they're both consenting adults, then everything else in their relationship doesn't matter. They then contradicted their statement when I brought up incest and they said most people would be against incest. They pretty much admitted that it's not just about it being consensual, but there is in fact a moral factor. They didn't even realize the flaw in their "as long as they're consenting adults" argument. share
Her Mom Dates Al Pacino,but shes like 40 so doesn't bug me
share22 is a little too young IMO. But what is the right age? Besides sleeping together what else do have in common? It's the fur that keeps Leo going.
I can imagine how awkward conversations are between the two. One remembers filming Titanic, the other doesn't understand the hype about it.
shareYeah.... that's probably not where their chemistry lies, if you know what I mean. I wouldn't bet any money on a long lasting relationship as she will get to 25 eventually —assuming that the info in this graphic is correct.

It's obviously not working for him. I don't know why he continues to do it.
shareOh I know why....

He doesn't care. He'll hit that until he's tired of her and then go to another younger model again.
But what does she see in him? Look at that gut.
shareI'll let you answer your own question. I think you very well know the answer.
shareWhat does she see in him? He's one of the most famous men on the planet, really good looking (facially) for his age, talented in the eyes of some, etc.
Conversely, she's... a hot girl. A highly sought commodity, for sure, but not that unique.
She can probably find someone better looking that's her age. He'll probably drop her when she's 25.
shareHmm he's not exactly what you'd call monogamous is he? To be honest I feel kinda sorry that he can't keep a woman around that long.
shareI know what you mean. He'll probably feel pretty alone when he's old and realizes his 20-something sugarbaby is only there because he's a "trophee man" who's spoiling her.
I think he'll eventually regret never having a meaningful, lasting relationship as he grows older. But he's probably just going to drown it with viagra, sex, and/or other excess.
(I know I was playing psychiatrist here.. but it's only my personal take on it)

While you were typing that, he was likely having sex with four supermodels on top of a mountain of cash bigger than both our houses. I'm sure he appreciates your concern though, lol.

Naaahhh. Like Clooney, he'll eventually get to a point in his 50's where he will realize that there are more important things in life than continuing his bachelor life, which not many can even dream of living, into a fourth decade. Then he'll likely find some impossibly young and beautiful, and impossibly brilliant woman to settle down with and have a family.

I object to people meddling in the affairs of adults (both, in this case, are well past the age of officially being an adult), but your comment is very funny.
shareThere is nothing illegal or immoral about it, and as long as it's consensual it is not "creepy". It may not be what you would do, but believe it or not what they do is none of your business.
