Leonardo DiCaprio Embraces 'Dad Bod' Physique, Prioritizes Relaxed Lifestyle

Leonardo DiCaprio, 51, has become a prominent figure associated with the 'dad bod' physique, attributed to his adoption of a relaxed approach to life and fitness.

For years, the actor has favored a comfortable figure over the chiselled abs and muscular build of his earlier career. Upon entering his fifties, DiCaprio indicated a desire to 'slow down,' though he humorously noted he still feels 'emotionally 35.' He told People magazine, 'I'm slowing down a bit,' while reassuring fans that he does not intend to quit acting. He clarified that he 'can't say no' when significant opportunities arise.

DiCaprio's perspective on aging and honesty was further elaborated when he quipped about turning 'emotionally 35' in a previous interview. He expressed a desire to be more authentic and avoid wasting time, drawing a parallel to his mother's directness. He has consistently favored a comfortable lifestyle over rigorous workout regimens, stating in past interviews that he does not work out.

Despite not publicly identifying as vegan or vegetarian, DiCaprio has been a vocal advocate for plant-based diets and a significant investor in sustainable and vegan companies. His influence has reportedly prompted dietary changes in others, including Gwyneth Paltrow, who recalled his discussions about the environmental impact of meat consumption.

DiCaprio's relaxed attitude towards fitness was reportedly evident in 2017 when he was overheard discussing his non-existent exercise routine at a party. His current relationship with Vittoria Ceretti, an Italian model, has also drawn attention. The couple was first romantically linked in August 2023 after reportedly meeting at the Cannes Film Festival. Sources have described DiCaprio as 'completely smitten' with Ceretti, noting their shared interests and that the age difference is not an issue for them, with Ceretti being described as an 'old soul.'

Ceretti herself has spoken about the challenges of being publicly identified solely through her partner's fame. In an interview with Vogue France, she discussed the annoyance of being labeled as 'girlfriend of' and the desire to be recognized for her own identity. While not naming DiCaprio, she mentioned meeting him in Milan and expressed her admiration for his film 'Titanic.'

DiCaprio's dating history has been a subject of public interest, with reports suggesting a pattern of dating women under the age of 25. His past relationships have included Gisele Bundchen, Bar Refaeli, Blake Lively, Erin Heatherton, Toni Garrn, Kelly Rohrbach, Nina Agdal, Camila Morrone, Gigi Hadid, and Victoria Lamas. His relationship with Ceretti appears to represent a shift, with reports indicating he is 'crazy about' her and has committed to their relationship.
