Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio is the iconic and globally recognised man best known for his rise to fame in the nineties in such amazing movies as Romeo + Juliet, playing the eponymous hero in Baz Lurman’s 1996 adaption opposite Claire Danes to great acclaim, his appearance opposite Kate Winslet in the incredible worldwide phenomenon Titanic which became the highest grossing film ever at the time, and the devastatingly tragic role of a young disabled teen in Whats Eating Gilbert Grape, alongside fellow Hollywood giant Johnny Depp. Labelled as one of the most successful child actors of all time, DiCaprio has consistently appeared in incredible blockbusters, and after his breakout role in This Boy’s Life with Robert De Niro, his status as a true acting legend has only grown. His films have grossed over seven billion worldwide, and he is a regular face in annual rankings of the world’s highest-paid actors.

Known to work extensively with director Martin Scorsese, DiCaprio appeared in hard hitting Gangs Of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, and Shutter Island among others. Even more recently, he starred in mind bending thriller Inception, played the villainous Calvin Candie in Django Unchained and featured in the stunning experience The Great Gatsby, reuniting with Baz Lurman. He has accumulated an Academy Award, A BAFTA, A Screen Actors Guild Award, and three Golden Globe Awards, winning an Oscar for his work on the 2016 film The Revenant.

Aside from his work on the silver screen, DiCaprio is also the creator of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, a charity devoted to promoting environmental awareness, and is known for his massive support of charitable causes. In 2016, he was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time Magazine.
