Ulrika Jonsson has expressed discomfort with Leonardo DiCaprio’s habit of dating younger women, calling it ‘sickening’. The actor, 48, has faced criticism for dating women under 25 and then seemingly moving on from them once they reach that age. Recently, he was seen with 19-year-old model Eden Polani, which sparked backlash.
In her column for The Sun, Jonsson wrote, “I know I’m not the only one who finds Leonardo DiCaprio’s pursuit of much younger women not just distasteful but also sickening.” She added, “The idea that I might date or, God forbid, be in a relationship with an 18 to 19-year-old man does not only feel wrong and counterintuitive, but just a step too far. Why would I want to be with a man so young? I’m afraid it gives me the creeps.”
Comedian Katherine Ryan also criticized DiCaprio, calling his behavior ‘creepy’. She retweeted a post questioning his relationship with Polani, stating, “No crime, just a creepy pattern.”
DiCaprio has a history of dating women under 25 and reportedly ending the relationships when they reach that age. Last year, he split from Camila Morrone shortly after her 25th birthday, despite her defending their relationship.
