Leonardo DiCaprio has become one of the most iconic actors of all time. When he started out, he was already an excellent actor. However, he was more known for his status as a heartthrob. Over time, he's gained an even bigger following due to his historically great acting in movies such as Inception and The Wolf of Wall Street.
Due to both his looks and his acting talents, Leo has been thirsted over quite a lot over the years. A lot of celebrities have joined in on the fun, revealing their thoughts and feelings about the actors in interviews. Some legendary actresses had crushes on DiCaprio back in the day, and some still have feelings for the Oscar winner.
8 Anne Hathaway Thirsted Over Leonardo DiCaprio
Back in 2021, Anne appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Like a lot of guest stars on the show, she ended up playing a game that forced her to reveal some rather personal things.
When she was asked who her first celebrity crush was, she instantly answered with Leo. She admitted to Fallon that she's admired DiCaprio since the 80s when he acted on the sitcom Growing Pains.
Anne also revealed on The Tonight Show that she had a thing for Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder. She may have liked both of them back in the day, but she's moved on since then. Anne has been married to Adam Schulman for a while, although some fans still think it's weird she hasn't changed her last name to Schulman.
7 Selena Gomez Thirsted Over Leonardo DiCaprio
Here's another child star who had a crush on Leonardo.
Back in 2010, Selena interviewed with Fox Studios for her 18th birthday. This was around the time that Inception came out, and in that interview, confessed that she had a crush on Leonardo back in the 90s. She then claimed that she would beg her mother to take her to see Titanic, and said that Leo was "handsome and talented".
An A-list star for nearly 2 decades, Selena's had a thing for A-list stars. Selena famously dated Justin Bieber and has been rumored to have dated some other A-list stars over the years.
6 Emma Stone Had A Crush On Leonardo DiCaprio
In 2017, Emma Stone won the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role. It just so happened that her childhood crush Leo was presenting the award. Emma opened up to Sirius XM back in 2021 about how "surreal" it was to accept such a prestigious award from DiCaprio.
Emma then told interviewer Jess Cagle that she had seen Titanic seven times in theaters and that Leonardo was the "love" of her life. She then acknowledged in the same interview that every time she sees DiCaprio, it's super awkward.
Emma did then admit it was slightly embarrassing to fangirl over someone at this stage in her life. Emma is rich herself, hoisting a massive net worth of $30 million, and is a critically acclaimed actress. Despite that, Leo can still make her feel pretty nervous.
5 Did Margot Robbie Have A Thing For Leonardo DiCaprio?
Margot's rise to stardom started with one of the best breakout roles of all time, her portrayal as Leo's wife in the Wolf of Wall Street. Her story on how she landed the role adds to the many legends of the critically acclaimed film, as she slapped Leo in the face to get it.
As weird as that was, the two would then play an onstage couple. They remain close friends to this day, with the two of them having important roles in 2019's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
Their relationship truly didn't start on The Wolf of Wall Street, however. Margot told W Magazine back in 2016 that she had a crush on Jack Dawson, Leo's Titanic character. She stated that "if I ever need to cry in a scene, I think of Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack dying in Titanic".
4 Jeff Bezos's Girlfriend Lauren Sanchez Thirsted Over Leonardo DiCaprio In Front Of Him
Jeff Bezos has become the Bill Gates of the social media generation, a controversial yet influential figure in the tech world. A billionaire many, many times over, Jeff has bought everything from The Washington Post to his Blue Origin space company. Jeff has recently expressed interest in buying the Washington Commanders football team, although time is running out for him as the bids are stacking up.
One thing that Jeff can't entirely buy is love. Per Reuters, he divorced Mackenzie Scott back in 2019. He instantly rebounded from her with Lauren, and according to People, the two became official a few months after the divorce was finalized.
Despite seeing one of the most powerful men in the world, Lauren just couldn't help herself when she was around DiCaprio. Back in November 2021, the couple came across Leo on the red carpet of an art and film gala in Hollywood.
According to Page Six, Leo and Jeff are "longtime friends", and Leo had actually met Lauren on numerous occasions before this event.
Still, social media couldn't stop talking about how Lauren was gazing like an obsessed fan at Leonardo. This was with Camilla Marrone standing by Leo's side as well.
According to The Wrap, Jeff joined in on the fun of it all, jokingly warning Leo to stay away from Sanchez.
3 Drew Barrymore Thirsted Over Leonardo DiCaprio
While a lot of the celebrities on this list had crushes on Leo back in the day, Drew's thirst for Leo has been pretty recent.
DiCaprio took to Instagram to post a video about climate change, and Drew used that as a platform to shoot her shot. "You should be the only hot one and not our planet!" Drew commented, gathering thousands of likes for her clever compliment.
2 Zendaya Had A Crush On Leonardo DiCaprio
Zendaya was only 1 year old when Titanic came out. While she wasn't part of a generation of women who fell in love with Jack Dawson, she still definitely had the hots for Leo.
Back in 2016, the Euphoria star appeared on the Ellen show. Like a lot of Ellen's guests, she played a fun game where she had to choose between which two celebrities she'd like to date. Zendaya chose Leo over Michael B. Jordan, Harry Styles, and many more of today's heartthrobs.
1 The Public Is Obsessed With Leonardo DiCaprio And Brad Pitt's Bromance
While Brad and Leo are straight men who certainly haven't dated, that hasn't stopped Brad from thirsting for Leo. Brad confessed to The Cut that he often calls DiCaprio "lover" when they work together. Brad then told Vogue in 2020 that they both enjoy pottery together and have personal nicknames for each other. It's nothing more than a bromance, but those interviews certainly caused a funny furor on social media.
Their relationship definitely did not start out well. Brad claimed he had a restraining order against Leo back in the 90s, although it may have just been a weird joke. Brad's known for his odd sense of humor, especially when dealing with other A-list actors.
