Let’s get real.
While Leonardo DiCaprio might still look cute, yet flabby every once in a while, he’s not the teen heartthrob he used to be.
But apparently he still knows how to work the media.
So in a recent interview, Leo took the time to admire Zac Efron (who wouldn’t?) and hand him over the “sex symbol” crown.
Leo says he’s tired of being a teen idol piece of meat and that he’s happy Zaquisha is around now to take all the attention away from him.
Says DiCaprio, “I look at young Zac Efron and think ├óΓé¼╦£Go get it pal, leave me in peace.├óΓé¼Γäó ”
Adding, “I was never happy with the teen idol tag at all – never wanted to be a sex symbol or all that stuff – it was the work that appealed to me. Really nothing else. (I have) total respect for how young stars like Zac handle it all. Really total respect.├óΓé¼┬¥
Hopefully this means we’ll be seeing less of Leo and more of Zacquisha.
Update: It seems that the original story came from Fox News. However, it’s just been revealed that the story is false. Apparently the reporter made it all up! DiCaprio’s rep said the story is “100 percent made up. Leo never talked to this guy.” The original post has since been removed from Fox’s website.
