Canadian comedian Catherine Ryan has stirred the pot by criticizing Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio for his recent romantic involvement with 19-year-old model Eden Polanyi.
The age difference is striking—DiCaprio is 48, making him nearly three decades older than Polanyi.
Ryan took to social media to share her thoughts, labeling the actor’s dating choices as “creepy” and highlighting a concerning trend: he appears to only pursue relationships with women under 25.
This isn’t just a random observation; it follows DiCaprio’s split from Camila Morrone last summer.
Interestingly, that breakup came just months after Morrone turned 25.
Since then, rumors have swirled around DiCaprio’s connections with supermodels like Gigi Hadid and Victoria Lamas, but so far, none of these relationships have been officially confirmed by DiCaprio or his team.
In a tweet that caught many eyes, Ryan stated, “Not enough people are talking about Leonardo DiCaprio who is almost 50 and getting close to a 19-year-old teenage girl.” She emphasized that this is a topic she has been discussing for years.
Her comments sparked a mix of reactions, with some fans rallying behind her stance.
Author Caitlin Moran chimed in, suggesting that DiCaprio might be stuck in a time warp, dating as if he were still the young man who starred in “Titanic.”
Moran humorously suggested he might benefit from some therapy, saying, “Needs some EMDR.” Ryan responded with wit, pointing out that “this year, Titanic became too old for Leonardo DiCaprio to be in it.”
However, not everyone is on board with Ryan’s perspective.
Some social media users defended DiCaprio, questioning what exactly he has done wrong since both he and Polanyi are consenting adults.
In response, Ryan clarified her position, stating, “No crime, just a creepy pattern.” This exchange ignited a lively debate online, with opinions sharply divided.
Some defended DiCaprio’s right to date whomever he pleases, arguing that age is just a number.
Others echoed Ryan’s concerns, viewing his dating history as troubling.
