Camila Morrone Has Had Enough With the Age Comments

The model doesn’t seem all that worried about losing Leonardo DiCaprio’s affections.

“And now, like a supermodel’s vagina, let’s all give a warm welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio,” is how Tina Fey introduced the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star at the 2014 Golden Globes, and Leo’s dating preferences haven’t changed—or aged—much since (to his credit, DiCaprio was a good sport about the barb). The actor is currently dating model Camila Morrone, who, at 22, is exactly half his age (44). And after that graph proving that the star has never publicly dated a woman over 25 went viral, some think the relationship has an expiration date. But keep those comments to yourself, please; Morrone has had enough of the morons. Anyone attacking the women involved seems to be missing the point.

“Good morning people and happy Friday,” she said in an Instagram Live video. “I just read some of the comments on my Instagram and my God, people are so mean. And like full of anger for people they know nothing about. I guess I just hope on this Friday that people learn to live with a little less hatred and place their time and interest elsewhere because living without hatred feels pretty good.” Some of the mean comments on her recent posts, Elle reported, included things like, “You only have a couple more years before he dumps you girl! Collect your bag” and “Leo only cares about your body.”

The Argentina-born Morrone, whose mother had a long relationship with actor Al Pacino, has a point: we the public have nothing at stake in the Leo Relationship Game, and should probably refrain from scolding total strangers. Besides, if you absolutely must judge a relationship based on the man’s perceived ageism, don’t then bother the woman about it.

To cap off her statement, Morrone posted two pictures of Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, a pair of actors who, despite their 25-year age gap, were legendary soulmates. She captioned it “A love like this.”

Morrone is an actress in her own right, having recently starred in the indie comedy Never Goin Back in a promising turn.

A Photographic Guide To Everyone Leonardo DiCaprio Has Publicly Dated

Leonardo DiCaprio dated model Kristen Zang for a year back in the ’90s, where she acted as his date to the premiere of Romeo & Juiet.

Perhaps DiCaprio’s most famously ex is Gisele Bündchen, whom he dated from 1999 to 2005.

Getty

The pair were serious for nearly six years, often spotted walking their dogs together.

Getty

The pair also often took in sporting events, a popular past time for DiCaprio and his girlfriends.

Getty

After splitting with Bündchen, DiCaprio moved on to Isreali model, Bar Rafaeli. The couple made a rare high profile appearance together at Berlin’s Annual Cinema For Peace Gala in 2010.

The couple often took in basketball games, sitting courtside, of course, making for a few rare moments of DiCaprio allowing himself to be photographed with a girlfriend. Here, they watch the Lakers in 2010.

Getty

The pair dated for six years—the exact duration of his relationship with Bundchen—before splitting in 2011.

And again, the same year, DiCaprio shielded by a hat, as has become his fashion go-to.

Getty

In 2014, DiCaprio was spotted at the amfAR Gala in Cannes with his new lady, Toni Garrn, whom he dated for just over a year.

Getty

Before eventually getting together with Nina Agdal—whom he was never photographed with at a high profile event like a few of his other girlfriends—the actor dated a model Kelly Rohrbach in 2015, during which the pair were spotted together at the US Open. Agdal would go on to star in this weekend’s Baywatch, while DiCaprio would continue to date models.
