10 Unknown Leonardo DiCaprio Facts

1. His very first film role

Contrary to what many people think, Leo’s first part wasn’t Toby Wolf in This Boy’s Life, but Josh in Critters 3. The 1991 film’s plot revolved around tiny aliens that threaten the city of Los Angeles and devour whatever is in their path. With the release of this movie, young Leo began to draw public notice and quickly launched the career he has today.

2. He Was Really Called Dull by an Interviewer

When he was once interviewed by TIME magazine, the writer looked a bit underwhelmed by the actual Leo; it seemed that he thought it was dull that Leo was so interested in the environmental problems that we now face. Nonetheless, many would argue that his ability to quickly identify 20 endangered species and his ambivalence about which foods to purchase are what really make him intriguing (because, for him, every option seems to have a downside). Actually, I believe he’s the complete opposite of dull.

3. He has never used drugs.

Notwithstanding what his portrayal in The Wolf of Wall Street would indicate, Leo said in an interview in February 2014 that he has never used drugs; rather, he just might be a pretty excellent actor. While he has acknowledged that he has been around drugs since he was around three or four years old, drugs were never a part of his Hollywood experience. He sought advice from a set-based drug specialist for his TWOWS part. Co-stars Jonah Hill and Leonardo DiCaprio studied Youtube footage of “The Drunkest Man in the World” to find inspiration for their inebriated movie debut.

4. He attended a specialized school.

Leo’s parents opted to enroll him at The University Elementary School when he was a young kid since it was an innovative and forward-thinking institution. It’s believed that the time spent away from his home and public school gave him the drive he needed to pursue acting. He probably wasn’t very thrilled about it at the time, but it seems like it was for the best now! The UCLA Lab School is the institution’s current name.

5. The Origin of His Name

You guessed it: Leonardo Dicaprio’s mother is the source of his name. Yet the poignant tale of how Irmelin Indenbirken gave him that name is worth telling. When he first kicked, she was admiring an artwork by Leonardo Da Vinci while wandering through a museum. The rest is history, since she interpreted it as a sign!

6. The Titanic

The fifth-highest-earning movie in both Canada and the US, and one of Leo’s most well-known parts is Jack Dawson in The Titanic. It’s hardly surprising given that the young actor’s sensuous and moving performance won the hearts of several young women—and men—across the globe. Did you know that within the first week, the movie was seen TWICE by 7% of young females in America? That’s very amazing.

7. Leo-related fan fiction

Nowadays, there is a ton of fanfiction available because people are so enamored with characters—and in this instance, the actor. Leo is the subject of a lot of fan fiction, including an erotic portrayal of him as the other guy in a committed relationship. In addition, there is a romantic comedy about him erecting tree homes to hide from the paparazzi in which he ultimately wins an Oscar but only has until the end of the day to survive.

8. The Facts Behind I’ll Catch You If I Can

Leo had the opportunity to meet and speak with the actual Frank Abagnale Jr., who he was portraying in the movie Catch Me If You Can, when he was working on the set in 2002. Because of how well they got along, Dicaprio invited the con artist to his house. To trick his way into the house of one of Hollywood’s most secretive performers, he must be one cunning dude.

9. Conflict

It turns out that Leo and Mark Wahlberg despised each other when they initially met. The two were collaborating on the set of Basketball Diaries in 1995, but their energies weren’t meshing properly. The men’s friendship and admiration for one another developed quickly when they staged a scene together and recognized each other’s skill.

10. He Is Not A Singer

While he is a very brilliant actor, we’re going to take his remarks that he’s not the finest singer out of his mouth. Despite his desire to participate in the musical Moulin Rouge, he rejected the idea due to his “atrocious” voice. At least he’s modest and aware of his advantages and disadvantages, right? By the way, we believe he would have been fantastic in that movie.
