Leonardo DiCaprio‘s “one that escaped” is significant!
We all know The Wolf of Wall Street star is no stranger to seducing beautiful women, but apparently his game doesn’t always pay off! Australian model Steve Claire Smith opened up to her KICPOD podcast Sunday about a run-in she once had with the A-lister.

She recalled a time when Leo fired his shot with her back when she visited the United States at just 19 years old:
“I was dancing on my own most of the night, and I noticed someone looking at me and I realized this guy is wearing one of those hats, like those English hats and I was like, he kind of looks like Leonardo DiCaprio.”
She continued:
“Then my friend came over and said, ‘Steph, apparently Leonardo DiCaprio is here,’ and I was like, ‘WOW, it’s him!’”
Nothing came of it right away. In fact, the now 29-year-old and her boyfriend even switched to another club. However, she saw Leo again in this place – and apparently he saw her too:
“This person who was with him, I don’t know if it was his assistant, or friend, or whatever, sort of pushed his way through the crowd and came up to us and said, ‘Do you want to meet Leo?’ “Abso-f***ing-lute I do!” So we went over, we did the whole French double kiss on the cheek.
The influencer added the Titanic star asked how long they had been in town – then made his move:
“’Can I take your number? I’d love to take you out to some of the nicest restaurants around here.’”
Soft! However, Steph was already in a committed relationship with her now-husband and baby daddy, Josh Miller:
“I had just started dating Josh, he was like the love of my life — I’ve been waiting my whole life for this moment to like him, date him — so I thought, so I’m not going down that road . I just decided to lie. We had one of those traveling SIM cards, so we did have a number, but I thought, ‘Oh, we don’t have one, we’re only here for a few days.’ But then Melody, because she was a little drunk, was like, “Yeah, we do.” So she gave him our number, and I remember, because he then messaged us and said, “This is Leo, this is the number you can contact me on,” and we just went home and giggled. ”
She added that she called Josh and told him, to which he hilariously congratulated her, calling it “sick” and “sweet.” She reflected:
“It was just one of those moments where I thought, ‘Holy s**t.’”
The mother of one claimed, “we never replied,” to which her producer said:
“Can we just zoom in on the fact that you had Leonardo DiCaprio read?”

Her co-host added:
“You Ghosted Leonardo DiCaprio”
Steph, for her part, replied playfully:
“You know, I’m the one who escaped, I don’t know what to say.”
Wild! We’re sure that wasn’t easy on Leo’s ego.
