Leonardo must convert to wed Israeli model: paper
2009-02-19
American actor Leonardo DiCaprio must convert to Judaism if he wants to marry his Israeli girlfriend Bar Refaeli, media reports said on Tuesday.
"Oh, gosh. Choices, choices. The babe or the foreskin?"
Well, maybe we'll skip the marriage and I'll just keep banging her instead...
The 23-year-old model's father has forbidden her to marry outside of her faith and the only way DiCaprio, 34, will be welcomed into the family is if he converts, the New York Daily News newspaper reported. "He told me that if Leo doesn't convert to Judaism, there will be no marriage," the paper quoted a source as saying about Refaeli's father.

The 'Titanic' star and the Israeli supermodel have been dating since 2005 and he recently said he wanted to wed.

Recently, Refaeli posed half naked for the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit magazine.

#18  Given the rumors concerning his...ah...orientation and all, I'd say there has been at least one conversion already.

#17  Conversion in Israel is somewhat dicey at the moment. He would be well advised to convert somewhere else, then get married somewhere else (say Cyprus), then they visit her parents in Israel whenever they find the time.

#12  where's the picture "a shattered country longs to care about stupid bullshit again." Seems it would be fitting for this.

Amen, brudda, Amen.

#11  Besoeker, even yet most baby boys in America are routinely circumcised, for hygiene reasons. All Mr. DiCaprio would have to give up is pork and shellfish for the three years or so of the conversion process (there's an awful lot to learn, especially as only Orthodox conversions are recognized in Israel, a sore point with the majority Reform and Conservative rabbis in the U.S.). If Miss Refaeli disagrees with her Pappa, she only need say so... although it isn't clear whether Mr. DiCaprio actually proposed to her or merely announced vague intentions to reporters.
