Zara Larsson digs at Leonardo DiCaprio age gap, ‘He’s kinda old, I’m too old for him’

Swedish pop star Zara Larsson recently made headlines for a candid and humorous take on her longtime celebrity crush’ Leonardo DiCaprio’ playfully addressing the age gap between them. When discussing her crush in a light‑hearted moment with the press, the ‘Lush Life’ singer quipped, “But now he’s kind of old, isn’t he? I’m also too old for him.” The remark poked fun at both DiCaprio’s current age and the broader conversation around his well‑known dating preferences and age differences in his relationships.

Larsson, 28, has been open about having admired DiCaprio since her younger years, a feeling many fans could relate to given his iconic roles in films like Titanic and The Beach. But her recent comment turned that childhood crush into a moment of self‑aware humor, acknowledging that both she and DiCaprio are now older than the typical age range often associated with his past relationships. Discussions around DiCaprio’s dating history have frequently highlighted that many of his partners in recent years have been in their early‑to‑mid 20s, contributing to cultural chatter about age gaps in Hollywood romances.

Fans responded enthusiastically to Larsson’s remarks online, with many applauding her boldness and sense of humor. Social media users shared clips and quotes from the exchange, and some pointed out how refreshing it was to see a celebrity address age and attraction without taking things too seriously. Others tied her comment back to ongoing conversations about age norms in the entertainment industry and how public figures navigate those expectations.

While Larsson’s comment was clearly delivered in jest, it also sparked a bit of discussion about how age is perceived when it comes to celebrity crushes and dating culture. In pop culture circles, DiCaprio’s dating patterns have become something of a meme, with fans and critics alike noting the recurring age differences in his relationships, a context that helped amplify the playful tone of Larsson’s quip.

For her part, Larsson continues to focus on her music career, currently promoting recent work and touring internationally.
