As I was giggling over this story, Leonardo DiCaprio sidetracked me with his Instagram page. Have you ever checked out Leo’s photo collection? It’s amazing — a vast collection of wildlife photos interspersed with Leo posing alongside world diplomats at environmental conferences. He’s working so hard to make up for his carbon footprint that will see him partying with a bevy of models on gaz-guzzling yachts several times a year.

Nowhere on Leo’s Instagram page will you find evidence of his modelizing ways. But he’s so reknowned for his party boy rep that the Academy doesn’t take him seriously, and he’s the subject of supermodel vadge jokes at the Globes. Cosmopolitan cornered nine different models at NYC’s SI: Swim event last week. The magazine asked for their opinion on Leo’s modelizing reputation. The results were hilarious:

Sara Sampaio: “If you’re in NYC, you always see him around. He likes blondes.”

Ashley Smith: “When I was at the Cannes Film Festival, I saw him at a party. And he literally showed up, like, the most dressed down [person]. He was in a baseball cap. Everyone else was in tuxedos, he came in a baseball cap, he was there for five minutes, found a girl, and left.”

Lily Aldridge: [Starts laughing. Shakes her head. No comment.]

Nina Agdal: “Leonardo just goes out with the same group of people as everybody. So I hate that people, like, start stirring stuff up, because he’s just in the same area. That happens a lot. But that’s gossip, right?”

Chanel Iman: “I’m not going to say. I can’t comment about it. You’re going to get me in trouble!”

Chrissy Teigen: “That’s so funny, because I have never run into him. I’m almost offended [laughs]. Everyone talks about him and models, and the thing is, in this industry, that’s kind of who you’re around the most. John and I used to joke about it many years ago when we first met. We always wondered why models are with musicians. You date your coworkers, and in a way, we were coworkers. I never thought anything of that stuff. Good for all of them. Good for the girls, good for Leo.”

For what it’s worth, Leo has hooked up with at least one of these ladies. I do agree with Chrissy’s last statement. Leo gets what he wants out of these girls, but they know the drill. Most of them realize Leo’s not looking for marriage. The models gain exposure and don’t go away empty handed. If they end up being Leo’s one-and-only girl for any period of time, he’ll usually gift them a Prius. That’s a better (and more environmentally sound) deal than the infamous Derek Jeter swag bag.

FYI, Leo and Rihanna may still be fooling around with each other. They partied at the same club on Friday night. Interesting.
