When the reports and paparazzi photos of the two began to appear in recent weeks, netizens immediately went into a nervous attack mode and flooded her with thousands of comments that ranged from mockery and sarcasm to real rage, pointing out that Polani was still in high school when the corona virus broke out and that she hadn't even come into the world when the movie "Titanic" starring DiCaprio Released 26 years ago.
"Damn it," raged the tweeters on Twitter, "Kate Winslet was 22 years old when she received an Oscar nomination for the film. 3 years older than her age."
"She's so young," grumbled others, "that her only connection to "Romeo and Juliet" (another 1996 film in which DiCaprio starred; AD) was in high school when she learned about it in literature class," they added mockingly.

"Do you think she calls him Abella?", another surfer wondered with sarcasm mixed with mockery, while another despairingly concluded: "He is older than my father and she is younger than me. Where has this world come to?"
