Yesterday, it was reported that Leonardo DiCaprio gave his sex symbol status to High School Musical star Zac Efron.
Well, FALSE!
Apparently the FOX News article was completely fabricated, including the quotes. “It was totally made up,” Leo’s rep confirms to JustJared.com.
The article has since been removed from the FOX News website.
Whether Leo is a Zefron fan or not, Zac holds the sex symbol status anyway!
Leonardo DiCaprio arrives at the Vue Leicester Square for the Body of Lies premiere in London on Thursday evening.
The 33-year-old actor recently revealed to Fox News that he is thrilled to have shed the sex symbol status of his younger days. “I look at young Zac Efron and think ‘Go get it pal, leave me in peace.’ I was never happy with the teen idol tag at all –-never wanted to be a sex symbol or all that stuff –-it was the work that appealed to me. Really nothing else.”
Leo also added that he has “total respect for how young stars like Zac handle it all. Really total respect.”

Leo’s Body of Lies co-star Oscar Isaac recently told MTV how to get close to the 33-year-old actor. He shared, “That’s easy, he’s a pushover. Just play Xbox. Just beat him at some Xbox games. I think it depends on the game. I’m a good Halo player, and he’s good at all the other ones, so I would say we’re evenly matched.”

Leonardo DiCaprio promotes his new action drama, Body of Lies, during a Paris photocall on Monday in France. (It was released wide last month.)
The Hollywood Reporter talks a little about the Oscar trophy trend: “Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt almost certainly are strong contenders in the best actor category — shining, word has it, in their respective upcoming movies, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Revolutionary Road. But they and others might be up against a subtle force they can do little about in the best actor race: Oscar voters tend to favor actors playing real people.”
