Leonardo DiCaprio still looking for love

Inception' star Leonardo DiCaprio says he is still looking for the love of his life despite high-profile relationships with actress Blake Lively and models Bar Refaeli and Gisele Bundchen.
The 37-year-old Hollywood heartthrob is currently dating 22-year-old Victoria's Secret model Erin Heatherton but he doesn't think he has met the love of his life yet. "My first love? Boy I don't even remember. I suppose if I'd found my true love I would be married right now wouldn't I?" DiCaprio said.
The actor has very specific standards about what he wants in a girlfriend and is turned off by pretentious and vindictive women. "Pretentious women really turn me off. Vindictive women too. So do opportunistic women. I think what turns me on about a girl is what most men find attractive - which is something genuine about them. Being a good person," he added.

"I didn't do the other ones because the part wasn't very good or the timing wasn't right, but I'm open to any kind of genre if the part is great and fun and different and a challenge in some way," Blunt said.
