Leo to Zac: 'Not so Fast, Pretty Boy!'

Leonardo DiCaprio is awfully territorial about his status as one of Hollywood's reigning hunks.

Yesterday, Fox News reported that the Titanic actor was ready to relinquish his heartthrob status to High School Musical beefcake Zac Efron.

DiCaprio, in London promoting his latest movie Body of Lies, was quoted as saying, "I look at young Zac Efron and think, 'Go get it, pal, leave me in peace.' I was never happy with the teen idol tag at all—never wanted to be a sex symbol."

Now E! Online reports that Leo's rep says the story—since pulled from Fox's Web site—is "100 percent made up," adding, "Leo never talked to this guy."

Last month, Efron told Entertainment Weekly that he'd love to meet DiCaprio and other show-biz A-listers so that that he could "pick their brains about their early careers.''

Guess Leo has some advice for him after all. Namely, "Back off!"

DiCaprio has reason to protect his sex-symbol status. The title has its privileges.

“Yesterday, it was reported that Leonardo DiCaprio gave his sex symbol status to High School Musical star Zac Efron.

Well, FALSE!

Apparently the FOX News article was completely fabricated, including the quotes. “It was totally made up,” Leo’s rep confirms to JustJared.com.”

“Titanic shot a young Leonardo DiCaprio into international heartthrob status. But now, at the ripe old age of 33, star of The Departed is much happier that he doesn't have to deal with being labeled as a "teen idol.”
