Leonardo DiCaprio, 46, body shamed for 'dad bod'

August 2024 · 17 minute read

On Tuesday, paparazzi photos of Leonardo DiCaprio were published in major outlets including BuzzFeed, People, Daily Mail, Page Six and more. He’s seen walking on the beach with friend Emile Hirsch in Malibu, Calif., both of them shirtless.

DiCaprio, who is 46, was described by multiple publications as having a “dad bod,” defined by Urban Dictionary as a male body type that is best described as "softly round," and commenters called him “pudgy,” “flabby,” and said that while he’s “still handsome” it might be time to “invest in some bigger shorts.”

He was never buff, in fact he has never even been toned in his life.

This is a big "so what else is new?"

I never got the appeal of him looks wise, but he’s a good actor and the women (or men) will always be there so long as he’s rich or famous.

Interesting he’s not shamed for hanging out with another guy who’s abusive to women. His entire circle is horrible.

What’s the real story on Leo. I’ve heard mixed reviews.

Some say he’s a good guy, some say he’s an asshole. But no one has ever said they actually had sexual “discourse” or any course at all, for that matter.

Lol!

It's weird that none of those models he's been screwing for 25 years has ever "accidentally" gotten pregnant.

I thought the dad bod was more like a bear, someone with strong shoulders who clearly lifts weights but goes a little heavy on beer and dessert (aka me). Leo just looks flabby. It’s more like granddad bod.

He was a cute boy but never looked much like a good looking man.

by Anonymousreply 8November 11, 2020 3:24 PM

When Leo was at his hottest, he was too young looking for me. Like he was always so cherubic. Then he skipped the sweet period of late teens and 20’s and went right to whatever he is now.

Ryan Phillippe, however—now there’s a guy who had a great run. His adonis years spanned over three decades.

He's still one of the only actors in Hollywood who can get a movie greenlit just by signing on. He doesn't have to punish himself at the gym and eat nothing but steamed chicken and veggies like the Marvel crew (while also screwing up their health with steroids). Good for him, I say.

Nobody said anything about chicken and vegetables and steroids. Just eating sensibly would do fine. The fact of the matter is that Leo is suffering from obesity.

The motherfucker is Italian and middle-aged. Of course he has a dad bod. DiCaprio's career isn't based in being a stunner like Brad Pitt. DiCaprio gets in reasonable shape for his movies and calls it a day.

I gotta agree with R1 - DiCaprio never even tried to do the New Hollywood Ripped and Buff Bod thing. He's a 46 year old alcoholic who seems to enjoy the Hollywood lifestyle, and due this status can still get women (or men) at will. He's the new Nicholson.

At least Nicholson had a sense of humor and this guy seems to lack that.

by Anonymousreply 32December 31, 2020 6:55 PM

I liked him a lot in "The Departed" & "The Quick and the Dead."

Yes, he reminds me of Jack Nicholson, but seems like a nicer person, maybe.

I heard that he wanted to wait until he's 50 (46 now) to get married & have children. That would be horrible.

Heard on a podcast that someone's female friend gave him a bj and when he was getting it he just put on a pair of headphones, leaned back, put his hards behind his head, closed his eyes, got his bj and then the girl left. So I don't think he's a romantic sort of guy.

It seems like straight men don't feel compelled to have perfect bodies if they can still get all the pussy they want as is. Leo is an Oscar winner, can get any movie he wants, and 20-something models throw themselves at him. He is living the life.

he seems like the type that never wants to work up a sweat and when someone says he should probably go work out, he just replies, "fuck that". He drinks, smokes and eats whatever he feels like cause he doesn't really give a shit. He can get as many gorgeous models he wants (and has done so) and he's in top demand for roles paying top price.

Not true, R1. He toned up for The Beach and for The Departed and Blood Diamond. He pretty consistently slims down for roles so he doesn't seem to have a problem where he puts on weight too easily or can't take it off;' clearly when he's not filming he's just a lazy sloth and doesn't give a shit. He's pretty much morphing into Jack Nicholson now and he'll soon be at the point (if he isn't already) where he can't just take the weight off at will.

Dad bod? He looks unhealthy and bloated.

Anyway, he was magnificent as a kid/young adult actor but became increasingly dull and boring as an adult actor. He has no personality whatsoever and all the drugs, drinking, partying and barely legal poontang/cock or whatever is just to fill a void. Scorsese, Nolan and Tarantino manage to squeeze good performances out of him and guarantee him award noms.

Catch Me If You Can, The Beach and Blood Diamond are the only films I have seen where Leo can be described as sexy. He had the right balance of masculinity and boyish charm, some stubble and a toned body. He went downhill quickly after that and never recovered. He looks disgusting now.

As far the 90s Leo. He looked too young thus illegal in Gilbert Grape and This Boy's Life. He was barely legal looking but still fuckable twink in Total Eclipse, Basketball Diaries and Titanic.

He was never beautiful or handsome. Cute and good-looking yes.

by Anonymousreply 63January 4, 2021 4:07 AM

I thought he looked good in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He also looked fine in Wolf of Wall Street--not sexy but still able to pull of the slim handsome yuppie.

It's funny though, I remember at the start of press for OUATIH he was still pretty slim and in just the few short weeks he spent promoting it, the bloat was all back.

Given how he can look attractive if he puts effort like shaving his beard, working out and dressing nicely. I wonder why he purposely lets himself go. It must be low self-esteem or some form of self-loathing. Being that lazy with all that wealth and fame doesn't make any sense.

Guy looks like he never walked into a gym in his life. I don't think he's going the Jack Nicholson route, more like the Marlon Brando route. What's most discouraging is that this man has the money and resources to do whatever it takes to get in shape and put on some muscle, but he chooses to remain an out-of-shape slob.

I wonder what's up with the current girlfriend/escort/beard. Leo hasn' been pictured with her in months. And the last pap photos I've seen (around New Years I think) were apparently old pics that the media were trying to pass off as recent. I also remember another weird article from around the same time that went into great detail about how Leo and Camila were seen buying groceries together, but there weren't any pics. It seems like they want people to believe they're still dating, but can't or don't want to get papped together.

Someone speculated Camila might be pregnant and in hiding, but I doubt they could keep that a secret for so long.

Young Leo could look heart-stoppingly gorgeous ... when photographed with a certain facial expression, from a certain angle, under certain lighting conditions. One thing I noticed is that I always found him more attractive in outdoor scenes; I guess natural light flattered his bone structure ... For the last 15 years however, that same bone structure has been buried under layers of fat, booze bloat and prematurely aged skin, so it doesn't matter.

Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio; (born November 11, 1974), 46, Los Angeles, Californina. Reportedly worth $260 million. Dated Gisele Bündchen (2000–2005).

His father is of Italian and German descent. DiCaprio is conversant in Italian. His maternal grandfather, Wilhelm Indenbirken, was German, and his maternal grandmother, Helene Indenbirken, was a Russian-born German citizen. In an interview in Russia, DiCaprio referred to himself as "half-Russian" and said that two of his late grandparents were Russian. His parents met while attending college and moved to Los Angeles after graduating.[8] DiCaprio was raised Catholic.

DiCaprio was named Leonardo because his pregnant mother was looking at a Leonardo da Vinci painting in the Uffizi museum in Florence, Italy when he first kicked.
