Because it’s a day ending in ‘y’, Leonardo DiCaprio has been in the news again for dating a woman just a tiny bit younger than him. This time it’s a 19-year old, model Eden Polani. For reference, Leo is 48. It might just be me, but recently it seems like there’s been a lot of strangely prudish discourse around age gaps in adult romances. For the most part, as long as everyone’s fully cognizant of the practicalities, and there have been no creepy groom-y elements to things, I couldn’t give a fu*k what consenting adults get up to in that regard.
That being said, personal choice is also often an interesting way to examine structures, societal power dynamics, and a number of other interesting things.
So with that preamble aside, behold the starkest illustration of Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest age-gap romance:

Well, actually, Pedro Pascal is only 47, not 48. Sorry. Sorry. Comparison void.
