Diana Vickers has revealed the ‘bizarre’ thing she witnessed Leonardo DiCaprio doing after being invited to a party at the Hollywood A-lister’s home.
The singer, 34, shared the story of her strange encounter with Leo while advising a caller on dealing with big age-gaps in relationships, on her new Metro podcast Just Between Us, co-hosted with sex columnist Alice Giddings.
Diana described the Oscar-winning actor as a classic example of a ‘man in Hollywood with so much fame and power, who doesn’t want to grow up.’
‘I did meet Leo once’, Diana confided in Alice.
‘He will have no memory of meeting me. One of his mates invited me around to his house.
‘I thought it was going to be a party. Then I ended up just sitting with him watching telly.
‘It was a really, really bizarre moment.’
Diana suspects she was just one of many young women Leo’s friends brought to the house for the Hollywood star.
‘I think he has this system’, Diana explained.
‘So, Leo’s obviously at the helm of it – and he surrounds himself with these good-looking lads, who are all looking for a good time.
‘The good-looking lads go and source these hot women for him.
‘That stuff happens a lot in Hollywood. These men have got so much fame and power, and they don’t want to grow up.
‘They just want to be surrounded by beautiful young women all the time. I am not generalising Leo here, I think that’s just what happens.
‘It’s quite weird actually.’
Diana told her DiCaprio story while advising caller ‘Hannah’ on her challenges dating an older man.
The singer revealed she has been romantically involved with much older and younger men.
She admitted to struggling more with younger men, saying their ‘immature energy’ makes communication more difficult.
‘A lot more women are dating younger men now’, Diana said.
‘One of the last guys I dated was five years younger than me – I did feel it. It was why we didn’t work out.
‘When you’re older, you want to put in the graft – you want to see things through. You don’t dwell on smaller things as much.
‘This guy just gave off immature energy – he was constantly holding on to things. I think I maybe acted immature because he was less mature.
‘It made me feel less of my older, feminine energy. I sort of reverted back. It was a lot of fun though.’
