MY FAVOURITE ACTOR&ACTRESS

LEONARDO DICAPRIO

He was born in Hollywood on November 11th, 1974.Leonardo was an only child whose parents divorced when he was a baby. At the age of five,Leonardo made his debut on a popular children’s television show before being removed for being too disruptive. When he was 14 he signed to an agency and popped-up in a Matchbox cars commercial before landing acting roles in a few short-lived TV shows, most notably ‘Parenthood’ where he met Tobey Maguire and nominated for the ‘Young Artist Award for Best Young Actor.’

DiCaprio made his movie debut in 1991 with direct-to-video horror ‘Critters 3’ which indirectly led to a regular role in TV’s ‘Growing Pains’.

In1996, DiCaprio starred in Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of ‘Romeo and Juliet’. Notable for retaining the ‘original’ Shakespearean dialogue the movie was a huge hit but financially eclipsed by 1997 blockbuster ‘Titanic’ which was, until 2010, the highest grossing film ever made.

In 2013 he worked again with Baz Lurhrmann for a big-screen adaptation of ‘The Great Gatsby. That year he also starred in another Scorsese picture, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’, based on the life of a stockbroker who was arrested in the late 1990’s for fraud. Another Golden Globe to add to his collection, a fourth Academy Award nomination. In January 2013 he announced he was going to take break from acting and ‘fly around the world doing good for the environment.
