Gwyneth Paltrow didn’t want to give Leonardo DiCaprio a chance to draw her like one of his French girls. In a revelatory interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, the actor-turned-entrepreneur dished that once upon a time, DiCaprio made a move on her, which she ultimately rejected.
“Nope, never made out with Leo,” she divulged. “He tried back in the day. But he was already like, you know, he was very loose with the goods from when he was 19.” What Paltrow was trying to say was she knew DiCaprio was a walking red flag, so she made the preemptive decision not to get herself involved in case things turned out ugly.
But just because she rejected DiCaprio’s advances doesn’t mean they weren’t friends. In fact, she once revealed that she often hung out with the star when they were younger and that he had been a huge influence on her decision to live healthier. “He was vegetarian and he’d talk about how dirty meat is and how bad factory farming is. I haven’t eaten red meat in 20 years and although Leo’s not totally responsible he definitely planted a seed,” she told The Guardian in 2013. “When I turned seriously macrobiotic, it coincided with my father having been diagnosed with cancer [in 1999]. I felt I could heal him by proxy.” Is DiCaprio a shareholder of Goop, too?
