'Much too old for him': Internet mocks Leonardo DiCaprio for snuggling with Teyana Taylor in viral video

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted engaging in what looked to be a flirtatious exchange with his co-star Teyana Taylor at a pre-Oscars party, before he made an appearance at the awards ceremony on Sunday, March 10.

Photos and video obtained by TMZ show the 49-year-old Oscar winner—who is dating Vittoria Ceretti, 25—putting an arm around a skimpy-clad 33-year-old Taylor, who filed for divorce from spouse Iman Shumpert in November 2023.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Teyana Taylor got cozy at a pre-Oscar party

The 'Titanic' star was seen engaging in flirtatious behavior with the 'Coming 2 America' actor during their attendance at the WME party held at William Randolph Hearst's former residence in Beverly Hills, California, on Friday, March 8th.

Taylor and DiCaprio, with the actor observed touching the actress's back, engaged in a profound discussion, during which she tenderly caressed his cheek and tidied his ponytail.

In a video from that evening, DiCaprio could be seen on the dance floor, laying his hand on Taylor's exposed lower back as she leaned in to whisper in his ear.

Taylor grinned in a different video, playing with the 'Titanic' star's hair and putting her arms around his neck. The 'A Thousand and One' star could be seen looking directly into DiCaprio's eyes although he was turning away from the camera.

TMZ was informed by an insider that the two—who are currently collaborating on an untitled Paul Thomas Anderson film—are not romantically involved and are not dating.

According to TMZ, "sources with direct knowledge" have confirmed that the two are "not dating" and that "there's nothing romantic between them at all."

The website asserts that DiCaprio is currently in a relationship with someone else, but it's not Teyana. His interaction with his co-star is described as "strictly friendly."

During the filming of their new project in Sacramento last month, the two were observed enjoying themselves. Even with Vittoria absent, the two seemed to have developed a close friendship as they conversed at the WME party.

The 'Killers of the Flower Moon' star has a history of dating younger women and is known to split up with his partners after they turn 25.

Helena Christensen, Eva Herzigova, Erin Heatherton, Gisele Bundchen, and Bar Refaeli are merely a few of the gorgeous people DiCaprio has dated.

DiCaprio appears to be infatuated with his current partner, Vittoria Ceretti, with whom he has been romantically linked since 2023, regardless of the lengthy list of attractive women with whom he has been linked.

Internet trolls Leonardo DiCaprio and Teyana Taylor's hands-on display

Given a history of dating younger women, Internet users immediately took to social media platforms to troll the Oscar-winning actor for his presumably flirty exchange with co-star Teyana Taylor.

One such user commented on the TMZ post on Facebook, "She’s much too old for him.  SMH. It’s nice to see him with someone older than early to mid twenties for a change." [sic]

A user echoed a similar sentiment and said, "Don't get excited, he is an alleged Epstein fan and only likes young, young women. They are simply promoting their new movie."

"She is in her 30s, he ain’t going," quipped one, while one more added, "She's 33 years old, what the hell is he doing??"

One more added, "She’s too old for him," and another one remarked, "They worked together. She's also way too old for him."

Another Internet user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Guys, she’s too old for him."

"It’s just jungle fever it is over real quick he just trying to dabble into some chocolate pudding in & out nothing to see here folks no news," noted one more.

Another user questioned, "He knows she’s over 24, right?"
