Leonardo DiCaprio


Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio was born on November 11, 1974 in Los Angeles, California to Irmalin and George DiCaprio. He got his name from the famous painter Leonardo DaVinci. His mother was looking at one of his works when the unborn Leo kicked her. She took this as a sign and decided to name her son Leonardo. Leo grew up in Echo Park, which at that time was an area of LA where a lot of drug activity was happening. Leo called it "Scumbag, LA". At 5 years old, he landed a spot on his favorite TV show, "Romper Room". He got his big break in the 1993 film This Boy's Life with Robert DeNiro. He got his first Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for his role as the mentally challenged Arnie in 1993's What's Eating Gilbert Grape. He was cast into superstardom with his biggest role ever playing Jack Dawson in the most successful movie of all time, 1997's Titanic. That movie made Leo the most sought-after actor in Hollywood. In 2001, Leo became engaged to supermodel Gisele Bundchen, but they do not plan to marry just yet. Leonardo DiCaprio is undoubtedly one of the most talented young stars in Hollywood today. Not to mention the fact that a smile on that handsome face of his is enough to make any girl go weak in the knees.
