Mischa Barton Says Her Publicist Told Her To Sleep With Leo DiCaprio When She Was 19 And He Was 30

Earlier this week, Leo DiCaprio caught some flak when he was pictured hanging out with a 19-year-old Israeli model. Some people found this borderline nonce-y, given his track record for dating under 25s, and others didn’t see a problem – after all, these are two consenting adults in a mutually beneficial arrangement (allegedly).

Well anyway, in an effort to highlight their problem with this 29-year age gap, social media users dug up past comments about Leo’s love life, including former child star/O.C. legend Mischa Barton’s revelation that her publicist told her to have sex with Leo to boost her career when she was just a teenager.

Mischa shared the conversation she’d had with her publicist, Craig Schneider, during a 2005 profile with Harper’s Bazaar (his current girlfriend would have been 2 at the time). Mischa said that when she and Craig saw Leo at a photo shoot in Malibu, he told her: “For the sake of your career, go and sleep with that man.” Teenage Mischa replied “isn’t he like 30 or something?”

So nothing came of it, and it’s hardly Leo’s fault that Mischa Barton’s agent suggested she try to shag him, but I guess people are mad that they know Leo would’ve jumped at the chance to bang a 19-year-old at 30, just like he apparently does now at 48. Is that really so bad?

I mean, in the end, Mischa Barton’s publicist was probably right. Yeah, Mischa had a decent career, but just imagine how much bigger she might’ve been if she had sex with Leo DiCaprio in 2005. Then again, she’s probably as famous as any of the other women Leo dated, so maybe we’re overstating the net benefit a tad. Fair play to to Mischa for not giving in to her publicist/pimp’s career advice. I guess some 19-year-olds are immune to Leo after all.

Previously, people were stunned when Leo was said to have his eyes on 27-year-old Gigi Hadid. 27! That turned out to be a false alarm, though.
