Mischa Barton’s publicist tells her to sleep with DiCaprio

Mischa Barton was told to have sex with Leonardo DiCaprio to boost her career - but didn’t because he was too old. ’The O.C’ star claims she was urged by her publicist, Craig Schneider, to bed the Hollywood heartthrob to give her more publicity.

Mischa, 19, has 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?"

Meanwhile, Mischa has admitted she is desperate to land the role of Wonder Woman. The beautiful star, who made her screen debut in the movie ’Lawn Dogs’ at the tender age of just 11- admits it would be a dream come true to play the whip-wielding superhero. She said: "Can you imagine playing Wonder Woman? That would be amazing."
