“When I was 19, my manager told me to sleep with 30-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio”… Shocking past revelation of a famous actress is re-examined
As Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio denied dating rumors with a 19-year-old model, the past remark of a top actress draws attention again.
On February 9th (local time), British daily newspaper Daily Mail brought up the interview of actress Mischa Barton (37 years old) in 2005.
Mischa Barton, who used to work as a child actress, was very famous with her roles in the drama “The O.C.”, movie “Notting Hill” and “The Sixth Sense”.
Barton, who was at her popularity peak after starring in “The O.C.”, told the fashion magazine “Harpers & Queen” that Craig Schneider, who was in charge of her promotions, told her about meeting Leonardo DiCaprio during a photo shoot in Malibu.
At that time, Leonardo DiCaprio had just broken up with Gisele Bündchen after six years of dating.
Barton revealed that Craig told her, “Sleep with that man (Leonardo DiCaprio), it would be good for your career”.
Surprised by the sudden suggestion, Barton, who was 19 years back then, replied that she was not interested in older men, saying “Isn’t Leo already 30 years old?”.
The interview was recently re-examined on February 5th after Leonardo DiCaprio and 19-year-old model Eden Polani were spotted sitting side by side at a new EP release party of singer Ebony Riley, sparking rumors of the two’s romantic relationship.
Unirad, an online media outlet, said it contacted Craig Schneider to reconfirm whether the details were true, but did not receive a response.
Meanwhile, in August last year, Leonardo DiCaprio broke up with model Camilla Morone after about five years of dating, then sparking rumors of having a love affair with several women.
DiCaprio has been meeting mostly tall, blonde beauty models under the age of 25.
In 1998, when he was 24, he met model Gisele Bundchen, who was 18 at the time, and dated her until 2003. He then dated 20-year-old Israeli model Bar Raffaelli in 2003, and broke up in 2009, when she turned 25.
Since then, the 36-year-old DiCaprio dated actress Blake Lively, then models Erin Heatherton, Tony Garn, Kelly Roerbach, Nina Agdal, and Camilla Morrone. All of them broke up with DiCaprio before turning 25.
The so-called “25-year-old law” was broken when he met 27-year-old Gigi Hadid, but he was recently embroiled in a series of dating rumors with 23-year-old actor Victoria Lamas and 19-year-old model Eden Polanyi.
Regarding rumors of a romantic relationship with Eden Polanyi, DiCaprio’s representative said, “It’s not true. The two just sat next to each other while enjoying the party with many others,” he explained.
“It is foolish to judge by just one picture. DiCaprio doesn’t date everyone at the party,” he added.
