I love how this chart is going to update every year.

His age will, their ages will stay the same.

That made me google how old Rose was and the answer is upsetting

Just to add, Kate Winslet (The actress who played the character) turned 21 during filming.

I was 97% sure this was going to Rick Roll me, or similar.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE how much money I make as a search engine shill

Find information on the internet with this one weird trick. Encyclopedias hate him.

The answer MAY SURPRISE YOU

[–] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

Why? Her character was 17 played by a 21 year old, Jack was not mentioned by age in the film but Leo was 22 during filming, you could say he was 18 in the movie with the same character to real life difference.

Because Kate Winslet can't pull off a 17?

I know he's a beloved actor and it's legal, but a 48 year-old person dating a teenager is just gross...

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As someone close to his age, let me tell you that you're totally right about that. I look at a 19 year old and I see a kid.

[–] MagicPterodactyl@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago

When I was dating in my mid 20s the thought of dating a 19 year old felt fucked up.

Thanks everyone for pointing out Leonardo’s weird preference. I thought this was about the 27 Club.

Leonardo DiCaprio (who played Jack in the 1997 Titanic movie) is kind of notorious for dating people in their early twenties and breaking up by the time they're in their late twenties.

The IRL Mr. Peanut Butter

[–] Escew@lemm.ee 53 points 1 month ago (1 children)

DiCaprio is notorious for leaving his significant others shortly after they turn 25.

[–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 2 points 1 month ago

At this point is hard to call them "significant" (to him)

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Leonardo DiCaprio in real life apparently dumped his partner due to her being older than 25 (despite him being much older himself).

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 10 points 1 month ago

Oh ok ty all

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

*has *partners

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm 28 and would feel gross dating someone much younger than 23, I can't imagine not feeling disgusting pushing 50 and perusing the barely legals in my area.

The arbitrary mandates of your culture have been successfully internalized. The hive thanks you for your obedience.

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bro out here trynna call NPC on thinking it's weird to be dating people you're old enough to have raised yourself.

What a rugged individualist you are for getting defensive over the fact that your top channel on the hub is probably the barely legals.

[–] infinite_ass@leminal.space 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

so bold, so brave.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world -5 points 1 month ago

Leo's really missing out. Women hit their sexual prime at 26. Maybe he doesn't enjoy sex, so he has to break up with them before they hit their prime?
