TV star Ulrika Jonsson has hit out at Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, amid rumours that the Titanic star, 48, is dating 19 year old model Eden Polani.
The actor, who was previously rumoured to be seeing 23 year old actress Victoria Lamas, was snapped cosying up to the teen, as they both attended the release party for Ebony Riley's EP.
In recent years Leo has become notorious for only dating women under 25, and breaking up with them when they reach this age, despite the actor nearing 50.
And now Ulrika, 55, has joined the slew of stars hitting out at the Oscar winning actor, as she brands his "pursuit of young women" as "sickening."
In her The Sun column, Ulrika 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 continued: "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."
And Ulrika isn't the only star to be creeped out by Leo dating a teenager, with comedian Katherine Ryan also sharing her thoughts on the rather large age gap.
A Twitter thread posted in response to the reported romance, saw director of women and girls campaign Right to Equality, Dr Charlotte Proudman write: “Not enough people are talking about Leonardo DiCaprio who is almost 50 'getting close' to a 19 year old teenage girl."
Katherine responded: "This is literally all I've talked about for SEVEN YEARS.”
When asked by a commenter what the “crime” was, as Leonardo and Eden are both “adults”, Katherine replied: "No crime just a creepy pattern."
Katherine jested: “This year, Titanic became too old for Leonardo DiCaprio to be in it."
The Duchess star later corrected her earlier remark, adding that she had actually been “slagging off” Leonardo for “nearly a decade”.
Katherine wasn’t done with bashing the Don’t Look Up actor, and took to Instagram Stories to expand on her reaction as she reposted an article published about her thoughts on him.
She wrote: “I also said he’s a F***ING LOSER see also Dane Cook see also Scott Disick”, referring to Kourtney Kardashian’s ex who, at 39, has also famously dated a majority of younger women under the age of 25.
