Leonardo DiCaprio has been receiving backlash for a lot of things lately, but some of his recent vacation snaps and controversial actions have internet users comparing him to another famous actor.

After new pictures from his island vacation were released on social media, users began comparing his looks and lifestyle to that of the renowned actor Jack Nicholson, who, off camera, has been seen partying with younger women and spending time on extravagant yachts. Due to his latest actions, despite referring to himself as a climate activist, the internet has been slamming Leo, and is finding not only the physical comparisons to Jack super strong, but their lifestyles very similar as well.

Leonardo DiCaprio Photographed Spending Time With Vittoria Ceretti On A Small Island

If there's one thing the 90s heartthrob has been doing this summer, it's enjoying lavish vacations with his friends and girlfriend. He's been photographed numerous times over the last few months, stepping on and off yachts and enjoying summery activities like swimming with his 27-year-old girlfriend, Italian model Vittoria Ceretti.

Despite any backlash they've received for their 23-year age gap, the couple has been spending a whole lot of time together, and they haven't been able to escape the paparazzi during their lavish trips. The actor began raising eyebrows when he and his partner were photographed on yachts throughout European islands and hot spots, given that they're known as a polluting mode of transportation, and he's prided himself on being an environmental advocate over the years.

More recently, he and Vittoria were spotted hanging out on a yacht off the coast of Formentera, a Spanish island located in the Mediterranean Sea. They were seen snorkeling and hanging out on the large boat, enjoying time in the sun. This didn't come long after they were spotted having a double date with one of today's most controversial couples, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his new wife, Lauren Sánchez.

Internet Users Compare Leonardo To Jack Nicholson Upon Seeing The Photos

After the photos of Leo and Vittoria vacationing went viral on social media, people began comparing him to another famous, partying bachelor in Hollywood, the legendary Jack Nicholson. Aside from creating and executing some of the most memorable roles in the film industry, like Jack Torrance in The Shining, off-camera, he had a pretty lavish life off-screen.

According to interviews and reports from his past, the 88-year-old built himself a reputation as a party boy, becoming known as someone who struggled a lot to settle down, seemingly a lot like the Titanic star, who has gone through several younger girlfriends in his life. Jack was reportedly a party animal who had several serious and casual relationships with younger women, and the internet thinks his actions were a lot similar to Leonardo's current ones.

After seeing the latest vacation snaps of the Oscar-winner, numerous Instagram users couldn't help but compare the two actors.

"He looks more like Jack Nicholson every day," commented an Instagram user, as another responded, "Oh, that definitely seems to be his goal."

"The Leo DiCaprio to Jack Nicholson pipeline is real," added a user.

"He's turning into Jack Nicholson," commented a fan. "Giving the same vibes."

Other users made harsh jokes about Leo's age and relationship age gap, writing, "Nice of him to take his daughter sailing," and "Let's get you to bed, Grandpa."

While both actors have stellar representations as performers and likely will for the rest of their lives, the internet is finding it fascinating to watch their personal lives look similar and similar each day.
