Remember the lean, fit, and charming Jack Dawson from Titanic? And the sharp business tycoon from The Wolf of Wall Street?

There's hardly any woman in the world, who doesn't know about the legend we're talking about or who hasn't fancied this hottie. However, the reason why we're still referring to the Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio's iconic roles is simply to take you back in time, when he was at the top of his fitness game.

Years have passed and needless to say, Leo's body has changed over time.

But apparently, to some women Leo's current physique is unattractive and funny. According to a report published in Page Six, a few models at Leo's private party were heard poking fun at him for flaunting his dad bod. "It was a party at this private estate. He was drinking his beer and bragging to these models about how he doesn't work out. The girls were like, 'Does he think that's attractive? It's not like he's in 'Titanic' shape anymore," states the report.

We understand that it's imperative to keep your body in shape if you are in the entertainment business. After all, health is wealth. But it's time we understand that human body can fluctuate in weight and it is impossible to have washboard abs 24x7, 365 days of the year. And just because someone is in showbiz, it doesn't mean they aren't human beings, who can't let loose or get bored of working out.

Moreover, how can we forget that being body positive is a virtue that is quintessential for your happiness? And how can we forget that body shaming can hurt men just as badly as it can hurt women? In fact, body shaming any human being irrespective of their gender is a shameful and demeaning act that we must put a halt to. So, just as we encourage women to embrace their bodies the way they are, we must encourage men to be body positive in life as well.

Hence, we completely disagree with the models and their petty ideas, and feel that Leo still looks great. Moreover, he is an inspiration to all the men and women out there, who are struggling with body-image issues in life.

Keep it real, peeps. Because you know what? Leo does too.
