Everyone has had a celebrity crush at some point in their lives. Leonardo DiCaprio had millions of fans swooning over him after playing Jack Dawson in Titanic, and one of those millions of fans just happened to be Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone.
The actress was recently seen in Cruella, which was nothing short of iconic. She played the strong female lead and fans were blown away by her talent. The film turned out to be an unexpected hit over time and recently got the green light for a sequel as well.
Emma Stone’s Biggest Celebrity Crush
When Emma Stone accepted her first Oscar, there was only one thing on her mind- “Leo.” The Cruella star spilled the beans during an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show.
During a candid conversation on the show, the actress revealed that she’s had a massive crush on Leonardo DiCaprio ever since she saw him in Titanic. She admitted that while receiving an Oscar for La La Land was cool, it being presented by someone she had a legitimate crush on made it even better. The critically acclaimed actress had a childhood crush on DiCaprio and even had a signed picture of him in her room when she was young.
Stone admitted that she also watched Titanic seven times in theatres because she couldn’t get enough of the actor. She was convinced DiCaprio was the love of her life.
“It was the fact that it was someone that I had grown up watching and that I admired so much,” she said. “And like as an actor, I think he’s fantastic. And I’d watched him in everything. And then that moment where it’s like kind of such a surreal moment as an actor anyway. So it just compounded it. And I don’t know, it’s it still feels like it, it didn’t really, occur because, because it was him there.”
She went on to acknowledge, every time she sees the actor its “super awkward”
She couldn’t believe it when she realized she was on stage with him and quipped that she felt like DiCaprio probably found her a little weird because she gets so nervous every time they meet.
