BRIDGEHAMPTON, NEW YORK: Leonardo DiCaprio, one of Hollywood's most vibrant actors, has enchanted viewers with his outstanding performances. Besides a long history of acting success, the actor is famous for occasional flings with models and actresses. DiCaprio had a brief affair with model Gigi Hadid in August 2022 which seemed to have rekindled as they both were recently spotted allegedly partying together in The Hamptons.
As per Page Six, the 48-year-old 'Titanic' actor and the model, 28, were reportedly enjoying at tech tycoon David Rosenberg's party in Bridgehampton, amid rumors that the two had previously tried "dating" but the chemistry "just wasn't there."

In spite of his reputation with women, DiCaprio was startled to meet Sharon Stone for the first time on 'The Quick and the Dead' set. Working with the 90's sex icon is something DiCaprio will never forget in a hurry. Furthermore, he was pretty disappointed at their kiss in the film they were working on. Why was the 'Titanic' heartthrob so shocked by the 'Basic Instinct' actress? Read on.
'It didn’t feel like a real kiss'
DiCaprio was a rising celebrity in the entertainment business and still emerging as an actor at the time. 'Basic Instinct' star Stone worked relentlessly to bring DiCaprio on board for the 1995 Western. DiCaprio's audition greatly impressed Stone, which helped him bag the role. Due to Stone's notoriety, DiCaprio anticipated a different Sharon Stone than the one he encountered on the set, as per Cheat Sheet.
In a past interview with 'The Morning Call,' the Academy Award-winning actor recounted his experiences working with Stone and stated that he had anticipated someone who was more of a seductress. However, Stone ended up being different from what DiCaprio had imagined. DiCaprio said at the time, "I expected her to be this big sex vixen, seducing everyone. But she was sweet."

DiCaprio also said that when he kissed the 'Basic Instinct' star, it wasn't 'that great'. "To tell you the truth, it wasn’t that great. She grabbed me by the back of my hair and pushed her lips on mine and then threw my head away." He added, "It didn’t feel like a real kiss."
Leo allegedly had huge crush on Sharon Stone
DiCaprio's friends once claimed that the 'Titanic' actor might have been more smitten with Stone than he initially let on. In 'Leonardo DiCaprio - The Biography,' DiCaprio's pals provide a contrasting perspective on his feelings for his co-star. The friend stated, "Leo admitted to me he’d been heavily attracted to her. He reckoned she played along with it by flirting with him whenever they were in a scene together."
Also, DiCaprio is said to have admitted to the friend that Stone was always on his mind. "I couldn’t stop thinking about her. It was really weird because she was nearly old enough to be my mom. I think she’s really cool. She let me think we could be friends. She’s brilliant," the actor allegedly told the source.
