Amy Schumer pulled Leonardo DiCaprio because of his habit of dating much younger women while co-hosting the 2022 Oscars on Sunday.
“I mean, Leonardo DiCaprio — what can I even say about him? He has done so much to fight climate change and leave his friends a cleaner, greener planet.”
Explaining the joke sarcastically, she said: “Because he’s older and they’re younger. You understand it.”

The ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ actor, 47, has been dating 24-year-old model Camila Morrone since 2017.
DiCaprio, who was absent from the star-studded event, and Morrone made their debut at the 2020 awards ceremony at the Oscars.
Defending their 23-year age gap, Morrone told the LA Times in 2019, “There are so many relationships in Hollywood — and in world history — where people have big age gaps. I just think everyone should be able to date whoever they want to date.”

Before dating Morrone, DiCaprio mostly dated women in their 20s.
Some of the A-list women he has dated in the past include Kate Moss, Helena Christensen, Naomi Campbell, Bar Refaeli, Nina Agdal and Gisele Bundchen, whom he dated for six years until 2005.
