Leo at 50 and Keanu at 60: How It Feels When Teen Crushes Get Old
Former teen heartthrobs like Leonardo DiCaprio and Keanu Reeves have celebrated big, landmark birthdays recently — which makes Us feel old too
After a few years of Reeves, plus Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp — both in their early sixties now — and Christian Slater, now 55, being the undisputed hunks of Hollywood, along came Leo; younger, cuter and quirkier in era-defining movies like cult hit What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Baz Luhrmann ’s iconic Shakespeare retelling Romeo + Juliet and, of course, Titanic. Whether gazing dreamily through a fish tank at Claire Danes or yelling “I’m the king of the world!” alongside Kate Winslet, the Leo we loved oozed boyish, slightly naughty charm and happened to be an incredible actor too. That naughty boy is very much a middle-aged man — and while we feel pretty proud that he grew out of being just another teen pinup and into a highly respected, Oscar-winning actor in movies like The Revenant and The Wolf Of Wall Street, it’s a reminder that he’s decidedly mature now — which must mean we’re getting old, too.
