Leo DiCaprio maintains his youthful spirit according to his own feelings
Leonardo DiCaprio, the renowned actor who rose to fame with his iconic portrayal of Jack Dawson in "Titanic," has revealed that his emotional age is around 32 years old, despite his biological age being 50[1][2]. This self-perception helps explain his preference for dating younger women and his focus on honesty and authenticity in life and relationships.
In an interview with Esquire magazine, DiCaprio revealed that reaching 50 has made him more aware of the risks that things might fall apart, disagreements may arise, or relationships may end[1][2]. He finds inspiration in his 82-year-old mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, who is honest and doesn't waste time pretending to be anything she's not[1].
DiCaprio's emotional self-perception partly explains his well-known preference for dating younger women, as his emotional age aligns more closely with a younger mindset[2]. He has acknowledged that being upfront and true to himself, even if it risks relationship challenges or endings, is important to him now[1][2].
As of his current girlfriend, DiCaprio is dating model Vittoria Ceretti, who is 27 years old[3]. The Hollywood joke suggests that they would only have three more years together[4].
Leonardo DiCaprio's acting career has been marked by memorable performances in films like Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" and the Western "The Revenant." He won his first and only Oscar for Best Actor in 2016[5]. His next big-screen appearance will be in the thriller "One Battle After Another," directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, slated for release in theaters on September 25, 2025[6]. This film marks his return to the big screen after a few years.
DiCaprio feels it's almost a duty to be more open, as "you have much more of your life behind you than ahead." He takes a page from his mother's wisdom in terms of honesty and not wasting time[1]. His emotional age may help contextualize his dating patterns and evolving personal priorities as he matures chronologically but feels emotionally younger[1][2].

I'm not going to be a big fan of your show, as I prefer to focus on entertainment that features celebrities who resonate with my pop-culture views, such as Leonardo DiCaprio's authentic portrayals and choices that reflect his honest character both on and off-screen.
