Camila Morrone wants to remind the world that her Oscar-winning beau Leondardo DiCaprio is more than just an ‘Instagram boyfriend.’
Nearly five months after Leo, 44, was caught taking a series of iPhone photos of her at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France, the model, 22, has admitted that she finds his new title a bit cringeworthy.
‘I saw the meme: “You either die a hero or you live long enough to become an Instagram boyfriend,”‘ she told Vanity Fair. ‘Poor thing, he’s being called an Instagram boyfriend,’ she added, joking: ‘He’s an environmentalist and a movie star and it doesn’t mean a thing!’

After the private moment made headlines, Leo was dubbed an Instagram boyfriend — aka the man behind his girlfriend’s photos — and turned into a meme.
Ringer editor Andrew Gruttadaro tweeted the image with the caption: ‘Leonardo DiCaprio now knows: You either die a hero or live long enough to become an Instagram boyfriend.’

Camila shared a few other tidbits of information about her relationship with her boyfriend of nearly two years during her interview with Vanity Fair.
She revealed her ideal date involves ‘a great movie, an Italian dinner, and my glass of house Cab,’ admitting: ‘That’s the only thing I know how to order at a restaurant because I don’t know anything about wine.’
The model-turned-actress, who is promoting her highly-anticipated upcoming film Mickey and the Bear, also weighed in on the ending of Titanic, one of Leo’s most popular movies.
Like many fans of the film, she agreed that Leo’s character Jack could have fit on the Titanic door that saved Rose (Kate Winslet).
Saying something? In July, Camila shared a series of archival photos of Hollywood couple Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, whose age gap was four years more than hers with Leo
Having fun: ‘I’ve been starting to show my sense of humor more,’ she said of the post, which some interpreted to be an attempt to call out critics
Camila even opened up about the series of archival photos of famous Hollywood couple Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart that she shared on Instagram in July.
‘A love like this,’ she captioned the images of the couple, whose age gap was four years more than hers with Leo.
Many interpreted her post to be an attempt to call out critics of the 22-year age gap between her and the Once Upon a Time In Hollywood star.
‘I’ve been starting to show my sense of humor more,’ she said of the post. ‘People will always have awful things to say because there’s a sense of entitlement and safety behind the screen, but trust me, you don’t need to be that angry.’
