After being freed from the confines of his baseball hat<\/a>, it looks like Leonardo DiCaprio has been liberated from the emotional baggage of being a 50-year-old<\/a> man. In a new interview for Esquire<\/a>\u2019s \u201cMavericks of Hollywood\u201d issue, DiCaprio\u2019s One Battle After Another director Paul Thomas Anderson asked him, \u201cIf you didn\u2019t know how old you are, how old are you right now?\u201d An interesting question, sure, but even more fascinating because DiCaprio responded \u201c32.\u201d Even in his mind, he\u2019s still older than his girlfriends.<\/p>\n Anderson advised the actor that he\u2019ll have to \u201cinvestigate what happened when you were 32, and then you\u2019re going to discover and uncover why that was your answer.\u201d To be fair, Anderson, who is 55, added that he felt emotionally 27. Maybe they both have a lot to unpack?<\/p>\n Later in the interview, the two circled back to the age thing when Anderson asked if turning 50 felt like a natural time for reflection for DiCaprio, who then joked that he felt \u201cemotionally 35.\u201d After that, he got more serious, explaining that aging \u201ccreates a feeling like you have a desire to just be more honest and not waste your time.\u201d He added that \u201cyou have to just be much more upfront. It\u2019s almost a responsibility because much more of your life is behind you than it is ahead of you.\u201d I wonder what his 27-year-old girlfriend<\/a> thinks about that.<\/p>\n Stay in touch.<\/p>\n Get the Cut newsletter delivered daily<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
