Singer Diana Vickers says Leonardo DiCaprio 'Doesn't Want To Grow Up'

Singer Diana Vickers recalled a "bizarre" encounter with Leonardo DiCaprio, describing him as a man who surrounds himself with young women through his circle of friends.

On her podcast, she linked the experience to Hollywood's culture of power and immaturity, while reflecting on her own relationships with younger and older men.

Reflecting on the moment, she described DiCaprio as "a man in Hollywood with so much fame and power, who doesn't want to grow up," and speculated that she was far from the only young woman casually brought around by his inner circle.

Vickers has lifted the lid on a "bizarre" encounter she once had with DiCaprio after being invited to his home.

The 34-year-old singer opened up about the experience while chatting with her "Just Between Us" podcast co-host, sex columnist Alice Giddings, during a discussion about relationships with large age gaps.

Vickers recalled that she was introduced to DiCaprio years ago through one of his friends, who invited her over under the impression that it would be a lively gathering. Instead, she "ended up just sitting with him watching telly."

"It was a really, really bizarre moment," Diana admitted, adding that the Oscar winner likely wouldn't even remember their brief meeting.

Reflecting on the moment, she described DiCaprio as "a man in Hollywood with so much fame and power, who doesn't want to grow up," and speculated that she was far from the only young woman casually brought around by his inner circle.

"I think he has this system," she noted.

According to Vickers, DiCaprio tends to keep a circle of attractive male friends who, in turn, "source these hot women for him."

"That stuff happens a lot in Hollywood. These men have got so much fame and power, and they don't want to grow up," she remarked. "They just want to be surrounded by beautiful young women all the time. I am not generalising Leo here, I think that's just what happens. It's quite weird, actually."

The former "X Factor" star shared her story during a podcast episode where she and Giddings took a call from a listener named Hannah, who was struggling in her relationship with an older man.

Vickers admitted she's dated both younger and older men herself, but said that relationships with younger partners were more challenging for her due to their "immature energy."

"A lot more women are dating younger men now," she shared. "One of the last guys I dated was five years younger than me – I did feel it. It was why we didn't work out. When you're older, you want to put in the graft – you want to see things through. You don't dwell on smaller things as much."

She added, "This guy just gave off immature energy – he was constantly holding on to things. I think I may have acted immaturely because he was less mature. It made me feel less of my older, feminine energy. I sort of reverted back. It was a lot of fun, though."

Meanwhile, DiCaprio was recently seen spending a day at sea with girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, in Ibiza.

DiCaprio showcased a noticeably slimmer physique in blue swim trunks, while Ceretti drew attention in a revealing thong bikini that highlighted her toned frame.

The model paired her look with a casual baseball cap while moving around the yacht.

The yacht sighting comes shortly after DiCaprio made unusually candid remarks about his dating life.

Speaking in an interview with Esquire UK for its Autumn issue, the Hollywood star admitted that at his age, "there is no time to waste" when it comes to relationships.

Reflecting on the challenges of dating as an older man, DiCaprio said he feels the need to be more direct about what he wants from a partner, even if that honesty can sometimes cause relationships to break down.

He added that reaching 50 has prompted him to think differently about the future.

DiCaprio and Ceretti were first linked in August 2023, marking one of the actor's most high-profile relationships in recent years.

Before dating the Italian model, he famously ended a five-year relationship with actress Camila Morrone in 2022, just a month after she turned 25.

Over the years, DiCaprio has been connected to several well-known models, including Gigi Hadid, Nina Agdal, and Toni Garrn. This pattern has fueled a longstanding public narrative that he rarely dates women past their mid-twenties.

However, not all of his exes share that view. Kristen Zang, who dated the star in the 1990s, defended him in 2022, clarifying that she was the one to end their relationship after realizing she had "outgrown" it.

He was bored because she didn't have a COCK!

Keeps attractive men around him to source women? Oh, my sides!

by Anonymousreply 3August 20, 2025 5:06 AM

Their current ages are 34 and 50. Their relationship, now over, first gained attention two years ago this month?

A 16-year age gap is not the most newsworthy story I've heard (or maybe I'm biased by my own age gap relationship.)

And the "bizarre" newsworthy thing? Their first "date" was sitting in a room watching TV! Do you think there was a bidding war for the story?

I kept waiting for the "bizarre moment". They sat and watched TV.

How bizarre!

No straight 50 year old man acts this way. No well adjusted 50 year old man acts this way. How could he even form his lips to say “it’s time to get serious about relationships because there is no time to waste?” The fucker could be a grandfather by now.

My partner showed Leo and a very attractive Latin friend of his an apartment in NYC on the west side years ago. They walked around very much like a couple, talking about plans for the place. Was the Latin guy one of the hot men who “source hot chicks” for Leo? Was this going to be Leo’s new hot chick fuckpad? Please.

The older he gets, the sadder his life looks - whether it’s the truth or a lie.

Oh no. Leo’s dyeing all his hair and it’s so obvious on a man. They never get it right.

Why would a famous star like Leo go looking for an apartment with a boyfriend, if he didn't want the world to know he was gay? Something doesn't add up.

Why is this her business?

She sounds like a cunt in desperate need of attention.

He looks like a cross between Tom Selleck and Orson Wells in the wine commercial. And, not the young hot Selleck; the Blue Bloods weird looking Selleck.

He does look more than a bit Orson Welles-ish, R11. But not the funny, slurry, jolly drunk who doesn't give a damn Welles of the Paul Mason ad, but a cranky, miserable Welles whose shoes are too tight, whose dinner was disagreeable, and who needs to beg a favor, yet another of yet another host, of staying in someone's guest house, "just for a few months."

She's right. Many DLers made the same observation about Leo on the other DiCaprio thread.

Yes, I'm sure that is their only purpose because someone like Leonardo Dicaprio needs all the help he can get in order to attract hot women. 😉

I haven't heard of Diana Vickers in some time. Wasn't she on The X Factor years ago?

The Daily Mail also have an article on this and I read the comments. I was half expecting them to support her, because whenever they have an article about Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriends the comments almost universally pour scorn on the age gap in his relationships, but they've put that aside to take a pop at Diana here haha.

R8, Leo has several apartments around NYC, or at least he did. He has different places he can crash or that his friends can stay in. The guy was not introduced as a boyfriend, but as an advisor, assistant there to give their advice on the apartment. But their familiarity with each other and body language told a different story. It was as if a couple were tour a place and envisioning a future together.

It's obvious he's emotionally stunted and still behaves like a teenager.

by Anonymousreply 17August 20, 2025 9:49 AM

His bearding playbook is still stuck in 2001 and didn't mature like George Clooney's did. Even Ryan Seacrest gave up dating after "years of heartbreak," according to People.

R4 go back and read with your glasses and thinking cap on.
