Upon seeing Sienna Miller or Liz Hurley pouting seductively on endless magazine covers, airbrushed within an inch of still being classified as human, one can’t help but wonder whether Darwin could see this one coming. It seems that the evolution of mankind has led to world where beauty can get you on a first class trip to the top whereas brains are the ticket to a desk job.
This is surely obvious to all. From secondary school, when the first girl to enter puberty got all the male attention to just last week when you saw the glamazon from the marketing department getting a free latte at Starbucks, the world keeps telling us that we need to pluck our eyebrows and put down that cupcake. Celebrities seem to shout this the loudest.
One of the proudest proponents of the beauty faction is
Leonardo DiCaprio. Yes, we’ve all imagined that it could be us in place of
Kate Winslet being saved from the big, scary ship. After all, she isn’t a waif, is she?
Nevertheless, we run into somewhat of an iceberg as we watch Leo when he’s not being paid to touch someone over a size zero, and what does he choose to do in his spare time? Frolic around beaches with Brazilian bombshell,
Gisele Bundchen.
Supermodels are the bread and butter of your average celebrity male. Even your run of the mill starlet will conceded that she’s lost her grip on a good man because some giraffe with breasts as beaten her to it.

It seems there’s such an utter abundance of the creatures that even
David Copperfield and
Seal can have their share. It’s pure supply and demand. Why would a celebrity choose brains over beauty when Bar Refaeli will sit quietly sipping her l’eau minerale whilst laughing inanely at their jokes? Leo provides us with the answer.
Countless are the times that Leo and Gisele have parted ways, only to leave a space for Ms Refaeli to sneak back onto DiCaprio’s arm. Whilst we could put this down to the poor little things temporarily forgetting the name of their current beau or just the way to his house, there is another explanation. Once the novelty of being able to hold their waist in one hand wears off for 'The Aviator' (2004) star, boredom sets in.
It’s then that, like in any new relationship, the cracks begin to show. Whether it’s that Gisele hogs the remote or that Bar doesn’t speak a word of English, Leo always gets tired of just looking at his other half and searches for pastures new.
So fear not mere mortals. Whilst beauty catches the eye, it can’t hold it forever. Eventually even the most hardcore of addicts grow weary and want some conversation. Let’s just hope we’re in Leo’s neighbourhood when it happens to him.
