(11,722 posts)I want to be clear about this, I admire Leonardo. It's not a crush and it would be neat to meet him and have a conversation with him.
I keep tabs on his donations to Democratic campaigns and PAC's. He contributes colossal donations for the Democratic Party, funds that quite a few of us couldn't give.
He lost his home in the L.A fires. Then he donated some serious funds to the L.A wild fire relief as well.
I didn't want to high-jack your thread, True. I guess I'd rather talk about Leo instead of TSF.

(11,722 posts)Do you ever wonder where this particular talking point originates from? Hint: From the same group that claimed that Hillary Clinton had a child sex ring operation in a basement of a pizza joint and that immigrants are eating the cats and dogs.
I know that the print from the Federal Election Commission that I took a screenshot of is impossible to read. I've attempted to make it larger but the image hosting site crams the print so I apologize for that, it's beyond my control.

All donations to the Democratic Party on this screenshot are from Leonardo DiCaprio and all dated on 10-18-24. If the small print isn't too terrible to read, check out the $90,000.00 donation amount for the Harris Victory Fund PAC.
Leo's been donating funds to our party for years. His dating preferences shouldn't matter unless it's illegal and or abusive, then it should be tar and feather time for sure.

(22,995 posts)He's a great actor, no matter who he dates. I knew he was big on environmental causes, so I had assumed he was a Dem. Glad he is on our team.

(5,541 posts)...I met Leo when he was 4 years old.
I worked on an underground comic George was writing the script for called "Timothy Leary NEUROCOMICS" back then, and had gone over to his house to talk to George about the project. I met little Leonardo that day.
He made an impression on me at that age that no other child I've met ever has, before or since.
Sometime later, my kid's mom took some photos of Leo in my art studio in Pasadena, and one of those pics was used as his PR photo for his first acting gig, a TV commercial.
BTW, George is probably the best human I've ever had the privilege to meet, which could explain how Leo turned out to be such a good person.
A few years ago, I was being harassed for alleged copyright infringement over a photo of Miley Cyrus in the Hanna Montana movie. I did some costume graphics for the film, and had a picture of my work on my web site, which led to the accusation.
George heard about it from a mutual friend of ours, and called me to offer to pay the $3000.00 extortion demand for me. I thanked him, but told him I was going to retain an attorney to fight it, so he offered to pay the attorney's fee. In the end, my attorney charged me zero dollars, and got them to go away with one email.
The DiCaprios are good people!

(26,448 posts)Maybe it was done without a lot of thought because he's in a lot of memes. This one makes the rounds a lot:

But, you're right, because it is Leo, he can afford the dinner, no matter the price. And we would have to presume that his dinner date is 25 years old or younger.
Niagara
(11,722 posts)As far as I know all his relationships are of consenting age, he's never had to pay anyone for their "silence" and he's never been accused of sexual assault or sexual abuse.
I believe that the nit picking of his 25 age bracket preferences is retaliation for his Democratic causes, but who really knows. We all have preferences and we all have a "type".
True Dough
(26,448 posts)Just that he's well-known for dating much younger ladies. But that's true of many Hollywood men, and men outside of Hollywood, for that matter.
Niagara
(11,722 posts)Whenever anyone brings up his age preferences, this is always my reply regarding this.
It's true for many Hollywood couples.
Even Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor have quite a bit of an age gap. They make it work!

(22,125 posts)Old marketing trick. It works better if you turn off your higher brain functions, i.e., don't ask questions, just go with it.
I can't seem to find that off switch anywhere so I'm hard to market to. You're probably the same as me.

(131,895 posts)Once again, our lives are impacted by completely unnecessary, evil forces, and WE are the ones to suffer the consequences. Just like being told by billionaires how to subsist in meager food allowances and ratcheting grocery prices.

(37,471 posts)I just make it my hobby to save money.
Ive reached one goal, I manage to pay no interest only to get interest. Just bought a new Honda-c-rv and paid cash for it. In 1982 I made my last car payment and then kept that car and put away those payments for the next one. Then I went on and did the same with my house. In my third house Ive paid cash for.
Mostly able to do this because I never had children. Also. When I die my carbon footprint ends.
