    I laughed. And then I got curious and looked it up. Kate Winslet was 22 during the filming of Titanic. Her character was 19.

      I think 27 was chosen specifically too. 26 would have been a tighter upper bound.

      ps: just noticed a different version was posted below before, sorry for the repeat

        I love this graph because of how succinctly it summarizes info. But I also hate this graph because it is missing like 10 or 15 other women he has dated of several ages that break the neat pattern. Also, it hides how only like two of those relationships were truly serious, the rest are gossip and tabloid speculation from having seen him “next to them”. It is all very speculative. He does have a weird thing for younger women, but I think that part of it is that most single women on his social circle are going to be aspiring and upcoming super models.

          Oh no, I have been a part of disinfographics propagation. Thanks for the correction. It seems some of the older women (31, Laura Whitman for instance) were not a confirmed long term relationship but there are some rumors that DiCaprio romantically pursued them.

      Leo has a thing about dating women of a certain age IRL. To a hilarious degree. Nearly every one of his openly admitted girlfriends were dropped at the same age, where shortly after, he would find a younger woman to date and start the cycle anew.

    Leo is a pedophile. He won’t openly date a child but he will go as low as he possibly can without going to.jail

      Leo’s behavior isn’t very socially acceptable, but he isn’t a pedophile.

      His explanation is that he doesn’t have any interest in starting a family or having children, and he thinks that the drive to do so for women kicks in in the mid-to-late twenties. Women he dates know this going in, they know it’s never going to go anywhere real, they know there’s an end date. They get to participate in his lifestyle, they get to meet a bunch of important people, etc, in exchange for a sexual relationship with a very wealthy, attractive man.

      They’re young, but they’re adults capable of making decisions for themselves. Maybe some will regret it later, others won’t. But regardless, it’s a mutual agreement between adults.

      Gross? Creepy? Yeah, especially the older he gets. Sexist? Oh absolutely. 100%. Pedophilic? No.
