Maybe George could have hooked up with an older lady if he didn't want to be the butt of jokes and didn't want marriage/family either. That might just be too crazy of an idea, though.

I don't want to discount Amal's accomplishments, but it annoyed me the way she was elevated to be somehow more worthy of "catching" George as a husband because she is perceived as smart and successful, as opposed to the bimbos he dated previously. His other girlfriends were perfectly nice women with their own things going on, models, actresses, teachers. I think he also dated a cocktail waitress which is a job that is not a walk in the park. They were all adults and he always seemed to treat the women with respect no matter their job. Am I misremembering and it was creepy? Suddenly he's with Amal and *this woman* is suddenly worthy and of better pedigree than his other gfs. It was just an icky way to set up women in comparison. There's nothing wrong with being a lawyer, model, actress, whatever. Thank you. This always bugged me. All his exes were talked about as beneath him because of their chosen jobs/careers. Obviously with plenty of classism and elitism thrown in for good measure. That said I vaguely remember that Amal was only described as a "human rights attorney," once she got involved with George. She was on legal teams hired to help human rights violaters. I mean, I'm glad she did her 180, but always felt a bit sketch to me.

If anything, dating an actor who was into younger women that he sloughed off so easily, probably had most people questioning Amal’s choices. I know I would have been if I was someone who loved and cared about her.
Topic: if Leo is enjoying his life, and the young women aren’t being misled or mistreated, it’s their business.

I've never more quickly thought that a relationship was a PR fake. She's outside his age range, which gets those who keep going on about the 25 cut off off his back, but she's not old like, ew 30, so he won't visibly recoiling when he looks at her in public.

I definitely think this is just a PR effort to salvage image. Leo has been getting absolutely roasted lately. He probably thinks dating an older lady (because let’s be real, 27 is probably grandma status to him) has way better optics. I don’t believe he’d ever really date someone inching towards 30 AND with with a kid. I think Gigi is trying to move a clothing line and this is publicity for her.

This is an odd thing to say as he's talented and she's gorgeous, but I don't know why EITHER ONE OF THEM would want to be saddled with the other?

I think they’re friendly and there have been rumors about them before. This is a good way to drum up press, he knows he has to at least pretend to be interested in someone over the age of 25.

Officially Dating Gigi HadidMy emphasis is in bold. Sorry, but dating a woman 2 years older than his typical cut-off age while he's TWENTY YEARS OLDER is actually exactly the "playboy lifestyle", yo.

When Leo stops hitting Cannes every single year even though he never has a movie in the festival just so he can sleep with all of the models on the yachts, then he can start talking about how he's less interested in being a playboy. 2022 is not that year.
