Profile of Bar Refaeli - Leonardo DiCaprio's Israeli Model Girlfriend
Refaeli represents the Israeli fashion labels Castro and Pilpel. Refaeli has modeled for those labels since the age of 15. Refaeli's other clients include top labels Ralph Lauren and Victoria's Secret.
Refaeli created some controversy in Israel by making comments about draft-dodging. The Jerusalem Post quoted her saying, "I don't regret not having been drafted into the army, because I made out big. Why is it good to die for one's country? Isn't it better to live in New York?" Military service is mandatory in Israel, but according to the article, more and more young people like Bar Refaeli are figuring out how to dodge the draft. Many of these youths include celebrities like Refaeli.
Despite the offensiveness of these comments in Israel, the Israeli media heavily covers the relationship between Refaeli and Leonardo DiCaprio. DiCaprio traveled with his girlfriend to Jerusalem in early 2007. Refaeli and DiCaprio ran into some trouble with the media, and their body guards ended up punching some photographers and breaking their equipment in the ensuing scuffle.
