The beginning of acting career

In 1974, the future actor Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio was born in Los Angeles in the family of George DiCaprio and Irmelin Indenbirken. According to the family legend, when the pregnant woman in the museum viewed the picture of Da Vinci, the son pushed her into the stomach.

At the age of seven, Leo told his parents that he would like to become an actor. They found the agent's beloved son, the cooperation with which brought the boy shooting in 30 commercials. The first major role of Di Caprio received in 15 years in the series "Parents". Becoming a 17-year-old, Leonardo received a major role in the feature film "The Life of this guy." Soon the filmography of DiCaprio will be replenished with the film "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?", Where he will play the mentally retarded Arnie. Critics claimed that Leonardo in this picture managed to outshine his talent even Johnny Depp! Thanks to such a complex image, Leo was first nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe.

Youth

Leonardo DiCaprio in his youth (photo), as now, had a truly fascinating talent, about which the directors have repeatedly said, calling it a great scale of personal impact. The next film was a shocking "total eclipse." The role of the poet Arthur Rimbaud gave the young actor unprecedented popularity. For Leo's decision to participate in the film became a professional feat, as he had to portray a homosexual in several frank episodes. Later, the guy admits that surviving the shooting was morally difficult.
