Leonardo DiCaprio Here we were thinking Leonardo DiCaprio had shed his sex appeal.

Like milk gone sour, we thought he'd lost his touch.

How wrong we were.

The latest snaps of the star cavorting in the Californian ocean proves his unique ability to send a woman's knees wobbling did not, as previously suspected, go down with the Titanic.

Nope, his innate sense of masculine prowess is still very much intact.

In fact, more than intact, it's beautifully engineered and fully operational, as Leo shows, by prowling through the waters like some buff Lothario of the seas.

So to Leo, an apology: never again will we judge a book by its cover, a man by his facial fluff, or a torso by the shape of its pecs...

If anyone can make a comeback it's you - and you have, to stunning effect, in the fittie stakes.
