Mischa Barton was told to get with Leonardo DiCaprio if you know what I mean to boost her career - but didn't because she claims he was too old. Mischa claims she was urged by her publicist, Craig Schneider, to bed the Hollywood heartthrob to give her more publicity. She confessed when she and Craig spotted the 'Titanic' star, who recently split from Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, at a photoshoot in Malibu, he turned to her and said: "For the sake of your career, go and sleep with that man."

But the sexy star said she was put off dating DiCaprio because he is ten years older than her and she isn't interested in dating older men. She told Britain's Harpers and Queen magazine: "Isn't Leo like, 30, or something?"
