Elsbeth on CBS is known for finding unique ways to poke fun at celebrities — and Leonardo DiCaprio is the show’s latest target.
During the Thursday, December 11, episode of the show, Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) looked into a case where a fallen ’90s supermodel returned to New York for a reunion and revenge. Elsbeth got involved when a murder linked back to a past crime — and got help from supermodel Nadine (Laura Benanti).
While looking into the mystery, Elsbeth visited a model house and learned from Nadine that there was a top-secret entrance.
“We used to call it the Leo latch in honor of you-know-who’s secret late-night forays,” Nadine teased. “Men would do anything for models. It is so sweet — and sad.”
DiCaprio’s love life has made headlines over the years — as has the age gap between the actor, 51, and some of his ex-girlfriends. Models Bar Refaeli, Toni Garrn, Nina Agdal and Kelly Rohrbach were all linked to DiCaprio over the years.
Before their 2022 split, DiCaprio also notably dated Camila Morrone, who is 23 years his junior.
Morrone, 28, previously claimed that their age difference wasn’t an issue, telling the Los Angeles Times in 2019, “There’s so many relationships in Hollywood — and in the history of the world — where people have large age gaps. I just think anyone should be able to date who they want to date.”
DiCaprio briefly dated supermodel Gigi Hadid after parting ways with Morrone. He then moved on with model Vittoria Ceretti, whom he is still currently dating.
“As soon as you’re in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become ‘girlfriend of’ — or ‘boyfriend of,’ for that matter. And that can be extremely annoying,” Ceretti, 27, told Vogue France in April. “Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so’s girlfriend who was so-and-so’s ex. So, it’s not nice to think that you can’t love whoever you want, because of the labels people need to stick on you.”
Ceretti continued, “It’s something you learn. If what you’re experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there’s no reason to be alarmed. Because love protects and gives confidence.”
More recently, DiCaprio reflected on turning 50 and how that shifted his perspective on his life.
“It creates a feeling like you have a desire to just be more honest and not waste your time,” he told Esquire in August. “I can only imagine how the next few decades are going to progress. I look at my mother, for example, and she just says exactly what she thinks and wastes no time. She spends no time trying to fake it.”
DiCaprio explained that getting older made him more selective about his inner circle.
“Being more upfront and risking having things fall apart or risk the disagreements or risk going your separate ways from any type of relationship in life — the personal, professional — it’s that you just don’t want to waste your time anymore,” he continued. “You have to just be much more upfront. It’s almost a responsibility because much more of your life is behind you than it is ahead of you.”
Elsbeth airs on CBS Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.
