Once upon a time in Hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio dropped a possible explanation for his viral dating habits .

The 50-year-old actor — who has a reputation for dating much younger women — told filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson in an Esquire interview that he feels nearly two decades younger than he actually is.

Anderson, 55, kicked off the conversation about DiCaprio’s age by urging him to answer, “as quickly as” he could, “If you didn’t know how old you are, how old are you right now?”

When DiCaprio replied, “Thirty-two,” Anderson wondered whether turning 50 had been a “natural time for reflection.”

The “Titanic” star quipped that he “turned emotionally 35 last year.”

Anderson joked, “Your age is 50, but your emotional maturity is 32. How does that feel?”
