Here's a surprising perk of being a Hollywood heavyweight. It isn't the fame or the money (or even the beautiful women). It's called being respected. The kind of respect where you can be all kinds of player, but the bottom line is always the same. Fans will forever rank your acting abilities higher than your short-lived romances.

Leonardo DiCaprio's dating portfolio might be easiest summed up as "the entire Victoria's Secret catalog." The Wolf of Wall Street actor may be 43 years old, but the steady stream of ladies has been going strong since day one. From his first model love with Bridget Hall in 1994 through to Gisele Bundchen and Blake Lively, this guy has dated like no one else. In 2016, fans briefly thought Leo had found "the one" with the Sports Illustrated model, Nina Agdal. Then again, it was a similar message with Erin Heatherton. And Bar Refaeli. And Toni Garrn. (And Eva Herzigova. And Lorena Rae.)

The one thing they all have in common, aside from their looks? They're all way younger than Leo. Toni Garrn is 18 years younger than the actor. For Erin, it was a 14-year age gap. Now that a 43-year-old Leo is dating the 20-year-old model, Camila Morrone, fans are trying to figure out why. Amazingly, there's more to this Argentinian native than meets the eye. Here are 20 somewhat surprising reasons the Inception star is with the mysterious (and much younger) Camila – plus some actual details on who she is.

THEY GO WAY BACK

When you spend your days hanging on $600 million yachts and your evenings attending star-studded award ceremonies, you're going to meet some good-looking people. Leonardo DiCaprio's model entourage has seen him throw some of the wildest parties in Hollywood history. If that isn't a chance to meet a girl, we don't know what is. Leo split with the Sports Illustrated model, Nina Agdal in May 2017– "the relationship had run its course" was the statement made by The Daily Mail. In December 2017, ThisIsInsider reported that Leo and the Argentinian-American model, Camila Morrone, were "officially dating." Their meeting spot was an event in South Beach, Florida.

Although 43 year-old Leo and 20 year-old Camila officially "met" in South Beach, Florida, these two go way back. Long before Camila was feeding Leo pizza at Rihanna's parties, these two were already acquainted– for 10 years.

Camila and Leo are "family friends," according to The Daily Mail, who reported that at 20 years old, Camilla has known Leo for half of her life. This isn't just any family connection, though. It'll start to make sense when you find out the kinds of fame Camila is related to. The next one has Leo written all over it, though...

THE VICTORIA'S SECRET PERKS

As Leo was papped putting his hand on Camila's back while leaving Ellen DeGeneres' birthday bash in February 2018, fans just had to know. Who is this girl? Unknown as Camila might seem, she is no stranger to the modeling world. If there's anything Leo goes for, it's a lingerie model. His previous ladies– Gisele Bundchen, Bar Refaeli, Erin Heatherton, Lorena Rae, and Helena Christensen (way back in the day) have all posed for the lens in very little clothing. Camila is no different.

Camila teamed up with Victoria's Secret in 2016 for their lookbook and catalogs– the same year she made her runway debut for the designer brand, Moschino. Modeling also runs in Camila's family. She's posted some pretty epic throwback posts on Instagram of her own dad's Versace modeling days: "My dad was doing Versace before ya'll were even born."

What really catches the eye though, is Camila's supermodel squad. Or should we say, lingerie supermodel squad? Camila, Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, Karlie Kloss, and Bella Hadid are all rubbing shoulders in one giant "model hug." Camila even follows Nicole Richie on Instagram (Nicole may as well be her twin in dating behaviors– hello, Scott Disick?). Of course, Camila was in that famous yacht pic in the Bahamas with the Victoria's Secret models. Camila has more powerful connections, though...

This one kind of trumps them all. Al Pacino is basically the legend Leo dreams of becoming– and he's kind of on his way there. As Leo racks up the Oscars like no-one else, The Revenant actor may be a bonafide idol, but he's still young enough to idolize the greats. Al Pacino is Camila's stepfather, according to W Magazine. Her mom, Lucila Sola, is reportedly dating the 78-year-old actor. With Lucila's relationship with Al Pacino going strong for five years, that is one giant draw.

Camila shared this Instagram snap showing that The Godfather is her "stepfather." Al Pacino has even warned Leo "not to hurt his stepdaughter." Talk to the hand just became a lot less of an option for Leo.

Getting the "dad talk" when you're a celebrity is usually one giant "talk to the hand." Think Leo cared what Nina Agdal's mom thought of his Coachella partying and champagne-filled antics? This is where it gets more delicate, though. When your girlfriend's stepfather is Scarface himself (and the girl herself is turning to her stepfather for acting advice), you need to watch your step. The Daily Mail reported that Al Pacino has "warned" Leo to tread carefully with Camila and not to "hurt her." With Leo's track record? This should be fun.

OVER 30 ISN'T AN OPTION

Everyone has their deal-breakers. You know, too much "baggage," bad teeth, bad dresser– please, Camila is a Victoria's Secret Model. What she's wearing is unlikely to even be on Leo's radar. For the Catch Me If You Can Actor, the deal-breaker seems to be "catch them while they're young."

Leo may have read the record-breaking 440,000 tweets that poured out in just one minute as he won his Oscar for The Revenant, but don't count yours as read unless you're female and under 30. The message is simple. Leo likes them young.

Harper's Bazaar definitely noticed the age gap back in 2017, when a 42-year-old Leo was having dinner with Sarah Synder, who is just 22. For Leo, you don't just need to be impossibly leggy and good-looking. You need to be young. In 2013, Leo was dating the German model, Toni Garrn. Just shy of a 20-year age gap is what these two had separating them. Well, that and the 20 women Leo was reported to be partying with by TMZ before he ditched her for– you've guessed it, yet another young model.

In 2011, Leo was filming The Great Gatsby and Django Unchained, although, he was finding time for Erin Heatherton. Erin is 14 years younger than Leo. The reason Leo is no longer dating the Victoria's Secret model, Anne Vyalitsyna? Well, her being 32 might have something to do with it.

LEO LIKES TALL LADIES

Leo may be six feet tall, but the Titanic actor won't date a girl who'd be sinking faster than he is. There's a huge amount of speculation over Leo's actual height– one fan tweeted: "How is Leonardo DiCaprio's height listed as six feet when he looks about 5ft 9?" Amazingly, it's unlikely that Leo cares. Why? Because he's a mega-rich, mega-famous, and mega good-looking actor who can get any girl he wants, at any height he wants.

In what is probably his most serious relationship to date, Gisele Bundchen came in at a nice 5ft 10 inches (minus the heels). These two were an item for five years before their split saw Gisele marry the NFL quarterback, Tom Brady. The others? Erin Heatherton is actually taller than Leo, by about half an inch. Carl's Jr didn't pick Nina Agdal for their Super Bowl Commercial for nothing. If you're going to be aired alongside basketball players, you need to be at least 5ft 9 inches.

Again, taller than Leo, was Toni Garrn, although Calvin Klein didn't sign her up as exclusive on height alone. Between the remaining Naomi Campbell, Bar Refaeli, Erin Heatherton, Helena Christensen, Kelly Rohrbach, and Eva Herzigova, you should have gotten the pattern by now. Leo likes them tall. Camila is 5ft 9 inches.

HOLLYWOOD IS ALREADY CASTING HER

Leo doesn't get to call the "by association" card, here. Camila was climbing the acting ranks long before she was dating the industry's royalty. In 2012, Camila appeared in James Franco's documentary tribute to Joaquin Phoenix, My Own Private River. By 2013, Camila was starring alongside Josh Peck in Bukowski. Of course, when you're Leo's lady, the Hollywood casting couch suddenly turns a lot more welcoming. Camila's co-stars for 2018 include Bruce Willis and Breaking Bad's, Dean Norris. The talk show couch is also suddenly very interested in what she has to say– just this year, Camila was on The Late Show With James Corden (where she showed the world's she's funny).

Camila's IMDB page was standing on its own two legs before she was dating Leo. 2013 marked Camila's first movie, although romancing Leo will get you perks – like starring alongside Bruce Willis in Death Wish.

Although Camila is still signed to the prestigious IMG modeling agency, she's breaking into the acting world one movie at a time. With advice from her stepfather, Al Pacino, this is like getting tennis coaching from Serena Williams. If Serena was actual family. Leo has dated actresses in the past– most notably, Ryan Reynold's wife, Blake Lively. Still, model-turned-actress is Leo's favorite blend.

SHE'S ACTUALLY REALLY FUNNY

For all the serious roles Leo has played, this actor is one funny guy. The quality Leo values the most in a woman? Well, aside from the stringent requirements of being a Victoria's Secret spokesperson, making every other woman out there feel like a midget, and being under 25... This guy is a sucker for a sense of humor. "Humility, a sense of humor, and not a lot of drama" are what Leo was quoted as saying in an interview with Glamour.

Name one supermodel who will update her Instagram with a double chin pic like this one. Kendall Jenner? Not a chance. Gigi Hadid? Please. A sense of humor is important to Leo. 99 problems and a chin ain't one.

This is the kind of post we'd expect to see from Chrissy Teigen – you know, happily married and a bunch of kids. It's "safe" to post a double chin pic when you're inching your way towards 20 million Instagram followers. Camila just tipped the 1 million mark. To be fair, Camila follows @pizzaboys on Instagram. "I'm only accident prone in normal situations," Camila told The Late Show With James Corden. "You know, talking, laughing" Seriously, watch the Youtube for yourself. The girl is hilarious.

SHE HAS A UNIQUE LOOK 

Noticed how some of Hollywood's biggest A-Listers have that "exotic" streak in them? Eliza Dushku gets her last name from her Albanian father. People are googling Zoe Saldana's last name for the one thing they can't put their finger on– where her roots are (Puerto Rico, and you're welcome). If Sofia Vergara weren't, like, 30 years above the age limit, her fiery and exotic vibe could totally audition to be Leo's, Blood Diamond. For all the American sweethearts out there, the Gangs of New York actor isn't interested in local fare. This guy likes them EXOTIC. Like the German Gisele. Or the Danish Nina. Or the Israeli Bar. (Or the Czech Eva. Or the Russian Anne)

Camila was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, although, she now lives in Los Angeles (and totally has the "LA accent"). The City of Angels is where these two were first spotted together– Leo strolling through West Hollywood with his arms around a mysterious lady wasn't going to get past the paparazzi.

You only have to look at this girl to see that she's dripping in exotic charm. She's a feisty Latina with a giant personality. Camila isn't just exotic by bloodline, though. In 2016, Camila graced the cover of Vogue Turkey and she was on the cover of Jalouse– that's "jealous" in French. Where does Camila spend her time? At the Fyre Festival in the Bahamas with Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid. Leo wanted this quesadilla– extra spicy.

IF YOU DON'T WORKOUT, DON'T BOTHER APPLYING

Working out is one thing. Working out and looking good is a whole different story. If you're going to make it as Leo's arm candy, you're going to need to put in some effort. Supermodel bodies may fall from the skies for these women, but the expectations are just as high. Evenings are for yacht parties and cozy pizzerias. The minute that sun rises though, the future Mrs. DiCaprio better be working those glutes. And those abs. In 2016, Nina Agdal told Marie Claire that she "works out three times a day."

Being a newly-minted Victoria's Secret model isn't good enough. "I'm boxing a lot," Camila told Vogue. Former girlfriend, Nina Agdal, admitted that she works out "three times a day."

Camila doesn't just work out. She works out like a warrior. Speaking to Vogue in 2016, Camila said that living in LA is "terrible for her walking." That it "takes two steps to get anywhere." Probably why she boxes three to four times a week, hits up Pilates classes, does yoga, and trains with an MMA fighter. Leo is dating a girl who is trained in Jiu Jitsu. Camila's workout buddy at the New York Dogpoung gym? Fellow model, Hailey Baldwin, of course.

SHE HAS QUITE THE APPETITE

If you're a guy, you'll be familiar with the most annoying girl trait in the world. The girlfriend who gets all dressed up for dinner, orders a garden salad, then has the nerve to pick at your fries. If you're a girl, you might want to take notes– hint: guys find it annoying. Leo isn't the world's most open book, but we do know a bit about him. Like his surprising love of rap music (he totally digs Kendrick Lamar, according to People). Food-wise? Leonardo DiCaprio's favorite food comes straight from his Italian-sounding name. He loves pasta and pizza.

And that's where it gets tricky. Men see the word "pasta" and think: "yum." Girls see the word "pasta" and their very first thought is: "Carbs." Indulge all you want, but maintaining a model physique and chowing down on the carbonara is a skill that only a select few can handle.

"I can eat cheese pizza like nobody's business," Camila told Vogue. "I go to Bar Pitti all the time." That's Kendall Jenner's favorite pizza spot. Camila's ideal food day would be Vesuvio cookies from Bar Pitti, cookie shots at Dominique Ansel, plus Carbone for mozzarella balls. Actually, she listed several places for mozzarella balls. "Leo's mom lives nearby and she regularly cooks his favorite food. He has a gigantic cinema room where he kicks back," a source told The Independent. Camila seems to be doing okay, so far.

SHE'S LESS ESTABLISHED THAN PREVIOUS GIRLFRIENDS

Even in the real world, competition can drive a wedge. You know, that awkward vibe when a couple both work in the same industry, one of them gets promoted, and "pass the salt" becomes the most they can say at dinner. When you're one of the most-demanded actors in Hollywood, you'll have gotten used to something pretty sweet: The Limelight. Camila is a relative unknown, especially when you pit her against Leo's previous ladies.

Gisele's net worth of $360 million makes her richer than Leo. Bar Refaeli, Nina Agdal, and Erin Heatherton were already model superstars while dating Leo. Way less-established (and less of a threat), Camila is still the new kid on the block.

There might be a giant appeal there, for Leo. Gisele was the highest-paid model in 2016. She has been on the cover of over 1200 magazines. That's minus her being the face of brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Givenchy, and Chanel. Blake Lively was already a major face from Gossip Girl when she was dating Leo. Lorena Rae was on every Hugo Boss eyewear poster out there. Still a small fish in a giant ocean, Camila is way less threatening. Acting-wise? She's light years behind The Aviator actor– and Hugo Boss aren't hiring her for their aviator shades.

SHE'S HAPPY TO KEEP THE CIRCLE OPEN

If you're going to date Leonardo DiCaprio, don't expect an exclusivity clause. This guy likes his models in a pack, and it doesn't matter if he's "officially attached." The actor is rarely spotted out alone– if anything, it's the exact opposite. When The Daily Mail reported that Leo had left a nightclub with over 20 women, nobody was surprised. An hour at the most is what you can expect in terms of "alone time" as Leo's girlfriend, and being "okay with other women" isn't up for negotiation. When The Independent asked well-known models what Leo looks for in a girl, the message was clear.

"Leo keeps everyone's number should they drop by if they're ever in LA, so he does stay in touch with girls," one model said. Lily Aldridge said: "He does have a lot of models around."

Adding that Leo is "friends" with a lot of models, Lily told the newspaper that Leo is "really nice at parties." However, she made it clear that it's a group affair. Monogamy isn't a word Leo has in his vocabulary, and his girlfriends had better get used to that. Posing here with Leo's favorite cocktail of models, Camila is fitting right in. "Groupie" takes on a whole new meaning when you're dating Leo.

SHE LOOKS GREAT WITHOUT MAKEUP

Finding out how Leo likes his ladies is best left to what the girls have to say themselves. "A lot of guys really prefer you more natural," Nina Agal told Marie Claire in 2016. "Natural is better." Gisele is more known for her #nomakeup shots than anything else. Big surprise, Gisele's interview with Elle was a basic re-wording of Nina: "It's all about keeping it natural." Leo isn't interested in a woman contoured to hell and back with mascara goop in her eyes. He wants an all-natural beauty who will look sensational in Leo's favorite place– the bedroom.

"My mom never let me touch my brows," Camila told Vogue. Those workout snaps you saw earlier of Leo's previous girlfriends? Those were paparazzi shots taken in broad daylight. No hair and makeup crew. No on-set stylist perfecting the curls last-minute. Coachella doesn't have room for vain women and their 20,000 types of foundation. Nor does Leo.

In 2015, The Daily Mail got ahold of the supermodels to ask them their take on Leo's laid-back attitude. Ashley Smith said: "I saw him at a party. He literally showed up, like, the most dressed-down. He was in a baseball cap." Of course, the model in question was 22 years-old. Camila is 20, but she's got the skin of a baby.

SHE LIKES TO PARTYING LIKE HE DOES

You'd need to be living under a rock not to know that "party" is Leo's favorite word. In 2017, Leo celebrated his 43rd birthday by taking over a rooftop club at the Dream Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles. E! News reported that it was "filled with models," and they didn't hold back when they called Leo "a party animal." Previous birthdays have included takeovers of the NYC club, Marquee (where The Weeknd and Bella Hadid attended), plus, no less than 80 models for his 41st birthday, when he took over the Beau Haus in Sydney, Australia. E! was also covering the events.

"He was overflowing with models everywhere," a source told TMZ. "The Jonas brothers looked scared, like he was going to drown and suffocate in the women."

Leo hits up partying in a fairly predictable manner. He'll have his "dude squad" of David Blaine and Lukas Haas, according to People, and this lot don't stop until "dawn." Camila hit up Coachella this year with Leo, and they were papped partying well into the night at Rihanna's private party, according to The Daily Mail. Then there was the champagne brand, Moet & Chandon's, party the two hit up. Just fresh from her 2018 Oscar's Party, Camila is proving that she's got what it takes.

SHE'S UP FOR MATCHING WARDROBES

Hey! Matching wardrobes are a big deal in celeb land. To be fair, they're either a giant source of mockery (remember Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in matching denim?), or a giant power statement (Kim and Kanye kind of proved that at the 2016 Met Gala). Nevertheless, it's been a "we're a couple" statement for decades. For David and Victoria Beckham– who wore matching leather Versace, it can also be the sign of a long-lasting marriage.

Camila and Leo have been going steady since the end of last year. Just this month, they were papped out in New York City's West Village. They wore a pretty "his-n-hers" wardrobe of matching white tees, sneakers, and a solid "chill" vibe. The one notable absence? The 80 other models around Leo that TMZ had reported as Leo's "usual entourage" for his wild parties. Well, that's not strictly true. According to The Daily Mail, the couple wrapped up the day by meeting Hailey Baldwin for dinner.

"Matching" seems to be a secret code for "good in my books" for Leo, though. In 2017, Leo and his buddy, Tobey Maguire both wore matching denim and bomber jackets. Three years earlier, they had rocked up in matching suits to The Great Gatsby premiere. Camila is echoing Leo's lax wardrobe, although presumably, she had no choice to be equally lax with another model joining them for dinner.

HE CAN SPOIL HER, BUT SHE CAN STAND ON HER OWN TWO FEET

Thinking you can mooch off Leo as his girlfriend? Big rookie mistake. The dude is mega rich– there's no denying that. $25 million is what the actor earned up-front for The Wolf Of Wall Street. His co-star, Joe Jonas, received just $60,000 for the part, according to Forbes. With paychecks of up to $29 million, you're looking at an actor who can splurge like no-one else, but when it comes to spoiling the ladies, Leo is pretty picky. When he spent $16,000 on a Chanel purse in 2016, it wasn't for some leggy model. It was for his mom– a woman who will always come first.

"I didn't grow up in a life of privilege. I grew up in a very rough neighborhood in east Los Angeles," Leo said. $16,000 purses are what Leo drops for his real leading lady– his mother. He'll donate $15 million to environmental causes, but don't expect a "sugar daddy" experience with Leo.

Leo has zero interest in showering his girlfriends with diamonds. The Independent did say that he'll "send a private jet to collect a girlfriend," but no actual gifts were mentioned. Camila has her own career, Bruce Willis as a co-star, and not many expectations in terms of luxuries, according to Vogue.

HE VALUES HUMILITY

Nobody likes a snob. Pretentious divas are something Leo wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole (although it helps if the girl herself is ten feet tall). When The Independent ran a story delving into what Leo values in a woman, they started out by listing the long string of models the actor has been linked to. "Humility" came before "a sense of humor and not a lot of drama." Leo wants the kind of girl who can throw on a t-shirt and jeans, grab some ice-cream, watch a movie, and not be high-maintenance.

"How do you normally prepare for auditions?" James Corden asked Camila. "I didn't prepare at all," Camila replied. Speaking about the role she landed alongside Bruce Willis, Camila admitted that she "didn't think [she] even had a chance because it was such a big role." Instead of parading her success on Instagram, Camila got straight on the phone to her stepdad, Al Pacino for advice.

Right there. That's the sign of someone who knows how to stay humble. Camila knows she's got it. The looks, the talent, and the connections. In fact, during the interview, Camila didn't even reference her stepdad by name– James Corden had to. "I didn't say it!" Camila joked. Yeah, she's got humility.

HE DEFINITELY GOES FOR GOOD LOOKS

It's kind of hard to interview a bunch of supermodels on why they were all chosen by Leo to be his girlfriend. What are they going to do? Stand there and say: "Yeah, I'm kind of good-looking?" You don't need a newspaper to tell you that Leo values looks. This guy was dating the Victoria's Secret catalog back in the '90s, when he was linked to the supermodel, Helena Christensen, according to People.

"He likes blondes," Sara Sampaio told The Daily Mail.

Even Chrissy Teigen has weighed in on the psychology of what drives this man's dating portfolio. "Everyone talks about him and models, and the thing is, in this industry, that's kind of who you're around the most. Good for all for them. Good for the girls, good for Leo." What Chrissy shrewdly avoided saying, was that these models are all incredibly good-looking.

Big surprise, Camila is stunning. So are Leo's previous ladies. Gisele Bundchen ranks at number one on models.com, and she takes the second spot on FHM's 100 S*xiest Women In The World. Erin Heatherton's beauty was noticed by a modeling scout while she was vacationing in South Beach, Miami. Understated beauty sums Camila up, although there's nothing understated about her appeal in this pic.

SHE LIKES YACHTS

If you were to ask Google's SEO experts which word accompanies "Leonardo DiCaprio" the most in searches, the answer would probably be: "Yachts." This guy's obsession with partying on the water beats everyone. In 2014, Leo borrowed one of the world's largest superyachts to watch the soccer World Cup in style. In 2015, The Daily Mail reported that he "flew models" into the exclusive party resort of St.Tropez in France. "Surrounded by women on yachts," was the headline they ran.

$600 million superyachts are what Leo "borrows" from Sheikh Mansour bin Zayid Al Nahyan to watch soccer in style. He is allegedly always "surrounded by models."

A fear of water isn't going to go down well if you're dating Leo. While Blake Lively has a fear of sharks (and had to overcome it for the filming of the movie, The Shallows), that's probably where the actor draws the line. In February 2018, Leo and Camila were spotted with Tobey Maguire on the water. Camila had already proven her "yacht abilities" though, with a far more "Leo-friendly" snap. Hanging on a yacht in the Bahamas with Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Hailey Baldwin, and Justin Skye will do that. Plus, you know, swimsuits. Camila has already proved a natural in that department.

SHE'S ALREADY BY HIS SIDE WHEREVER HE GOES

While Leo made headlines for "not being recognizing by Oprah" at Ellen DeGeneres' 60th birthday bash, according to Time, one girl was recognizing him. Camila joined Leo for the star-studded bash in February this year, where "eyes on Ellen" was the point, but Camila only had eyes for Leo. This event was literally the biggest who's who of Hollywood. The Daily Mail reported that celeb guests included Jennifer Aniston, Olivia Munn, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lawrence, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, plus, Pharell Williams, Pink, and Jennifer Lopez.

Camila is doing the "girlfriend" thing with 100% dedication. Pizza nights, ice-cream outings, shopping trips, plus, Ellen DeGeneres' 60th birthday. Leo was the most dressed-down, but Camila was there, alongside Kim and Kanye, JLO, Olivia Munn, and Jennifer Lawrence. Of course, all of the above-mentioned ladies are much older than the 20-year-old Camila. Leo doesn't attend parties without his super-young and super-attractive girlfriend.

Now you know who Camila is and why Leo is dating her. If your Facebook friends list is one giant Leonardo DiCaprio fanbase (or just a bunch of gossips), hit share so they can see this for themselves.

If you're still judging Leo after all this, leave us a comment. We always read them– although we can't guarantee we're good-looking enough to personally pass any messages onto the king himself.
