Leonardo DiCaprio is challenging George Clooney's title as Hollywood's foremost continental playboy.

The A-list Titanic star, 36, has his sights set on one-time Australia's Next Top Model contestant Alyce Crawford, 21, as he's in the land down under to film The Great Gatsby.

The duo reportedly met at Beach Haus, a nightlife hotspot in Kings Cross, a source said, adding their romance has been going on about two weeks.

"He texts her when he wants to see her, and they hook up a few times a week," an insider told the Australian newspaper, The Herald. "They've mostly been meeting up during the week. He does other things on weekends.

“She's been to The Star (the upscale hotel he's staying at) to visit, but he is too smart to be seen with her in public."

Asked about her connection to The Departed star, Crawford said, "We have a lot of mutual friends and he seems really nice. We're just friends.”
