Popularity and Status

Since his debut in the 1990s, he has been famous as the handsome man of the century and is one of the most influential and greatest actors in Hollywood history. He is considered a role model for many junior actors.

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the people who have a tremendous influence on the industrial market itself, Hollywood, beyond his often-mentioned acting skills or appearance. he is, in fact, one of the most influential figures not only in Hollywood but also in the world of entertainment today. During his time in Leeds, he won the title of the most handsome man in human history and is still considered one of the representative icons of handsomeness even now, decades later. Unlike many young stars who have tasted the early success that came from their gorgeous looks and fell due to various temptations, they do not rest on their laurels. As he is one of the icons of modern Hollywood who has been called by many Hollywood masters and has left numerous famous performances in their masterpieces. The fact that he has a personal relationship with master Martin Scorsese tells us, he is also an actor coveted by many famous directors.

Acting skills

DiCaprio can be said to be an actor who pursues the most extreme performance in Hollywood. He is an actor who acts based on his own acting style and acts as if he is performing within the character he is acting. It can be said that he is an actor who acts ostentatiously rather than naturally. Since it is not a naturalist style that melts into the play, he showed a lot of acting in which the spotlight was completely focused on DiCaprio.

It is characterized by bringing everything to the limit as much as possible to show facial expressions and gestures as much as possible and is good at acting by concentrating emotions as much as possible and then exploding them. Even if you play a character that didn’t have such a description in the original or script, put it in as an ad-lib, so you can best play a character who can see how internally exhausted the character is and how stressed out to the extreme. He is an actor who shines when he plays a character who is generally sick. I took on many of these roles when I was young in my 20s and 30s, and as a middle-aged person in my 40s, I am taking on more diverse roles.

Quentin Tarantino evaluated DiCaprio as an actor specializing in ‘leading roles’. In other words, it is an actor whose acting shines in a performance-style movie in which one actor leads the play alone. That’s why directors always tend to cast DiCaprio as the main character rather than a villain or helper. In fact, Tarantino used DiCaprio as the villain.

This aspect can also be a disadvantage, so when a group play or a villain role in which a large number of people are equally in the spotlight is received, it is evaluated relatively weakly. Representatively, the group drama Don Look Up and Gangs of New York and Django Unchained, where he played the villain, are examples. Apart from the films, both Don Look Up and Gangs of New York received little or no criticism for DiCaprio’s performance. In particular, Gangs of New York was completely overwhelmed by Daniel Day-Lewis, and DiCaprio’s unique ostentatious performance became poison, drawing criticism for overacting more than necessary compared to the weight of the play. His unique exaggerated acting is not well received by audiences who prefer naturalism. Most of DiCaprio’s acting dislikes come from this part. In the case of Django, there are quite a few favorable reviews, but critic Lee Dong-jin evaluated that DiCaprio in Django was the weakest among the cast.

Most of DiCaprio’s filmography is a leading role-oriented film, whether DiCaprio himself knows that or the directors know that. even the inception same team-up heist genre is also focused on DiCaprio. In addition, the exaggerated acting that pursues DiCaprio’s performance is rather the driving force that raised DiCaprio’s star quality to the limit. That’s why he was able to have the star quality and ticket power enough to shoot leading role movies consistently, and that’s why there is no disagreement that he is a great movie actor, even though there are shortcomings in his acting method. And the movie The Wolf of Wall Street, which maximized over-acting as an advantage, was released, and it was evaluated that DiCaprio’s acting peaked.

This movie was a feast of numerous acting actors such as Jonah Hill and Matthew McConaughey, and at the center of it was DiCaprio’s insane performance. He perfectly expressed the fall of a person who goes into money, and especially the impudent shamelessness of a character who is becoming corrupted really close to perfection. Many people said that the Oscar should be received for this film… but in the end, the Oscar for Best Actor that year went to Matthew McConaughey, who performed another divine performance. Later, he eventually won the Best Actor award for The Revenant, but many people think he should get it for The Wolf of Wall Street. Except for Gangs of New York, Leonardo DiCaprio’s acting skills are best demonstrated. Martin Scorsese’s works, Gilbert Grape, The Basketball Diaries, Blood Diamond, The Great Gatsby, and Revolutionary Road.

Life

His Father George Italian descent and German American of mixed race and his mother Emmeline German and Russian descent He was born as the only son among Germans. In other words, both his surname and first name have a strong Italian feel but in fact, his ancestry, on the other hand, is closer to the German-American side. He first started acting

as a child actor around the age of 4 appearing in commercials and small roles in TV dramas. The opportunity to start his acting is unique and the son of a woman who remarried his biological father George It is said that the starting point was that he was stimulated by seeing him appearing in a CF. His first CF was a milk CF.

During his school days, DiCaprio said he hated school and barely went to school to pass the time. He was rather a troublemaker interested in entertaining his friends. Then in 1991 a comic horror for video he officially debuted in the film industry by appearing in In Critters 3. However, this debut did not help his career much. In fact, even though Critters 1 was successful at the box office and had good reviews but the series was getting more and more messed up and in the end, it was not even released and the series was finished with the 3rd and 4th episodes that came out for video. Still, there are many die-hard fans so in 2019 it was resurrected as an 8-episode web TV drama series Critters: A New Binge.

This Critters 3 which was laughably forgotten is being promoted and decorated on the cover of a video or DVD mentioning Leonardo DiCaprio’s name as he became known. And it was his season 7 appearance on the 1992 TV sitcom Growing Pains that made DiCaprio famous as an unknown actor. This work is not aired in Korea and the cast members here do not grow into world stars so there is little recognition in Korea. It was a popular sitcom that enjoyed considerable popularity at the time and DiCaprio played the role of “Luke” a homeless boy living with the main character Seaver’s family. Before getting off at the end of season 7 he made his name known for his role as a semi-regular.

After that, he starred in the movie This Boy’s Life with Robert De Niro and played the role of Toby the rebellious son who is not discouraged by his fame.

Through this film, DiCaprio became a Hollywood pin-up star. The aquarium scene in Romeo and Juliet is one of the best scenes that have been talked about to this day.

In 1997 he appeared in the role of Jack Dawson the male protagonist of the century’s masterpiece Titanic and rose to the ranks of world-class stars. In fact, investors were against casting DiCaprio because they had pointed out Matthew McConaughey as the lead actor but director James Cameron had a different idea and his choice was right and now it has become DiCaprio’s representative work. Titanic was nominated for 14 categories at the 70th Academy Awards and won 11 awards. This is the same as the record for the most nominations recorded by All About Eve in 1950.

Ben-Hur in 1959 and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in 2004 won and tied a record in 11 categories. Not only that but it also achieved the number 1 box office record worldwide. It invested about 234.6 billion won in production costs and earned about 2.1642 trillion won.

DiCaprio seemed to have reached the pinnacle of his career by becoming the world’s most popular star through ” Titanic .” When an actor who had shown impressive performances such as being nominated for an Academy Award gained popularity with his good looks it was thought that there was only one thing left to do as other idol stars had done. But DiCaprio didn’t stop at being a teen star. He appeared in the 2002 Martin Scorsese- directed film Gangs of New York.

The film deals with the turbulent times of New York in the early 1860s and was highly praised for its quality. In particular, the performance of Daniel Day-Lewis who played the role of ‘William’ stood out. The film was nominated for nine categories at the 75th Academy Awards.

Aviator was the biggest rival of the 77th awards ceremony along with Million Dollar Baby but was pushed out in all major categories. However, Cate Blanchett won Best Supporting Actress and won four awards in the staff category.

In 2006 he starred in Scorsese’s next film The Departed. The film received great acclaim for its suspenseful scenes throughout its running time. The film won Best Picture Best Director Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing at the 79th Academy Awards. Edward Zwick’s film Blood Diamond appeared in. It is an action movie surrounding bloody diamonds and it well expressed the pain of common people suffering from African dictatorship and human greed. The film was recognized for its box office success and cinematic quality and also made a meaningful ending. DiCaprio was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor but lost out to Forest Whitaker for his role in The Last King.

In 2008 he appeared in the Ridley Scott film Body of Lies and also starred in Sam Mendes ‘ directed film Revolutionary Road.

In 2010 he appeared in Shutter Island and Inception receiving good reviews. Inception’s director Christopher Nolan was said to have already pitched DiCaprio for the lead role.

For reference, Matthew McConaughey also made a cameo appearance in The Wolf of Wall Street and filmed a scene where he taught DiCaprio a rookie the secret to his success. And finally, he won the 88th Academy Award for Best Actor for The Revenant: Return from the Dead.

Working with powerful Hollywood directors such as Martin Scorsese James Cameron Ridley Scott Steven Spielberg Woody Allen Quentin Tarantino Clint Eastwood Sam Mendes Alejandro González Iñárritu and Christopher Nolan DiCaprio went from being one of the best teen stars of the past to a true adult performer.

DiCaprio also said ‘Playing an emotionally ill character gives me a real opportunity to act.’

He is also one of the top actors recognized for the best ticket power in Hollywood. In the case of ” Revenant: The Return of the Dead ” due to the nature of the drama genre questions were raised about the box office performance at the beginning of the release but it was also a box office hit proving ticket power once again and once again as one of Hollywood’s No. 1 actors who dominate the box office and work quality. Proven. As for the ticket power of an individual actor, it is virtually the best among contemporary actors. Tom Cruise is at the highest level in Hollywood.

After Revenant: The One Who Returned from the Dead he worked as an environmental activist and in 2018 he was cast in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood the ninth new film by director Quentin Tarantino whom he had previously worked and was released in 2019. He was nominated for Best Actor at the 92nd Academy Awards. As of 2022, he participated in 51 films.

Appearance

1990’s

He was an icon of Hollywood youth stars in the 1990s and enjoyed idol-like popularity as a handsome star with acting skills during his heyday, especially in Total Eclipse Romeo + Juliet Titanic

At the time of the 1990s he was very young but in Critters 3 which was his debut work he looked like an elementary school student to a middle school student at most but he was already a high school student at the time. At the time of this boy’s life, he also looked like an elementary school student Even though he was near the end of his teens. This appearance was maintained throughout the 1990s so if you look at his filmography in the 1990s there are a lot of teenage roles.

However, after this boy’s life, a period of change came and his face matured little by little. Seeing that his chin cracked little by little during the Titanic days it seems that he is just a constitution that grows more slowly than others. Interestingly however unlike his youthful and boyish face, his height is over 180cm. Hollywood’s face-to-face class even when you’re old Although he does not fit in he has a youthful appearance for his age. He was already 33 when he appeared in Revolutionary Road.

In fact, DiCaprio’s growth in his late teens was strangely slow not just while he was young. DiCaprio didn’t go through puberty until their works were filmed in 1992 but only in Gilbert Grape filmed in 1993 did he start to have a voice characteristic of boys who went through puberty. At this time he was 18 years old. When he was a freshman in college he went through a period of change.

When he appeared on the sitcom “Growing Pains” mentioned above he looked much smaller and younger than his friend Jeremy Mill who was the same age but Miller was actually two years younger than DiCaprio. At the time that scene was filmed, Miller was in their 1st year of high school and DiCaprio was in their 3rd year of high school. Generally like Miller at that age, it is normal to have gone completely through the transformation period and almost finished growing up but DiCaprio not only has a voice but also a short height. In other words around the age of 18 or 19 (university freshman), the period of change came and the period of growth came and it was said that he was 10cm tall. Compared to normal men growth is at least a few years slower.

As mentioned above DiCaprio in the 1990s was quite tall, unlike his youthful appearance. In particular, in the mid-1990s his great looks and straight height exceeded the level enough to charm women and he was evaluated as a legend at a level that will go down in history.

Even now more than 20 years since Leeds days Even on Facebook or Instagram photos from his Leeds days are often uploaded and in the comments, you can see that even young female fans who are the age of DiCaprio’s daughter are enthusiastic. In other words, it is a legendary look that has made both mother and daughter generations go wild. In a word the best…

Since 2000

Unlike when he was in his 20s when had the image of a handsome boy as he got older his impression gradually changed to that of a macho man. To sum it up when I was young I was a post-human level boy and when I got older It was a macho-like man image. Of course, after 2021 I feel like an old man maybe because I’m heading toward the age of 50. Even now there are many opinions that if you lose some weight you are on the younger side compared to your age.

In fact, as mentioned above considering that the growth process itself was slower than that of normal men rather than a reverse change in appearance it may just be that the age of the body is several years later than the actual age. If you subtract 4 or 5 years from your actual age you will naturally look like a Westerner of that age. For example Critters in his late teens in his mid-teens Titanic in his early 20s is in his late teens Catch Me If You Can in his late 20s in his early 20s and The Great Gatsby in his late 30s in his 30s.

If you think that once upon a time Hollywood people who are in their mid-40s or mid-40s are in their early 40s it’s not that they’re aging slowly they just really look younger than their age. In addition to DiCaprio Denzel Washington, Tom Cruise, Paul Rudd, Keanu Reeves, and Jared Leto are famous for their baby faces. Unlike the appearance of the back when it was young it hardly changes but the starting point is late but the aging process itself is natural.

Unlike the 1990s when he was tall and skinny he gradually grew in size and now boasts a huge rice cake stand. Right from the time of Revolutionary Road, his face shaved off his beard and roughly resembled his appearance in the 1990s but he was much bigger than the general public and his current body size of 183cm and 90kg are on the same level as a baseball player Lee Seung-yelp. And he was much bigger than Brad Pitt in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

I did a lot of impressive acting so I got deep wrinkles between my eyes. Even the wrinkles on his forehead look deep and thick which is most noticeable in his recent work Revenant.

You can tell by looking at his appearance but his face is round and flat. Even if the absolute size is not large the contours of the face are definitely wider than when they were young.

In The Great Gatsby, the audience hears that Gatsby has grown old so it seems that time cannot lie. That would also be true since Jay Gatsby in the original work was at most a young man in his early 30s. The image in the picture is also a bit younger than the actual video.

In fact, he was very handsome in his 20s and his image was strongly imprinted on the public so there is no reason why his current appearance which has become much rougher than then is underestimated. receive a lot of In addition there are many opinions that DiCaprio’s charm as an actor is quite high because it creates synergy with anger acting which is one of the most important factors in acting.

In addition, considering that DiCaprio in his 20s was so young that he mainly took on teenage roles his rather macho and dignified face now has a much wider range of roles that he can take on as an actor which is an advantage.

Human Relationships

He is close friends with Tobey Maguire. DiCaprio approached Maguire when they were both child actors in their early teens and became friends and they remain best friends 30 years later. DiCaprio is also the godfather of Maguire’s daughter Ruby. For reference when DiCaprio became a world-class actor, the agency told him not to be close to Maguire but there is a warm story that he firmly refused. After that, he rejected the role of Spider-Man who came to him and actively recommended Maguire to Spider-Man. I shot a movie together with Maguire after several years and that movie was The Great Gatsby.

Besides Maguire, my best friend is Lucas Haas There. DiCaprio’s paparazzi photos always show Haas.

He is also very close with Kate Winslet whom he met on “Titanic.” he was very close at the time of filming but after that Leo went through a gloomy period and lost contact. A few years later when Winslet remembered Leo’s birthday and sent him a card and a gift saying “I miss you” he got back in touch. They still maintain a friendship. he became her soul mate to the point that Winslet referred to him as ‘more like a husband than her friend.’ As an, aside after divorcing Winslet from director Sam Mendes, she remarried a man named Ned Rocknroll and when she entered the wedding hall Leo stood by as her escort and properly certified his best friend.

In 2016 when DiCaprio finally won the Oscar for Best Actor Kate Winslet made a face of emotion and congratulated each other sincerely after the awards ceremony which became a small topic of conversation.

Other than that she is friends with Orlando Bloom and Bradley Cooper. She said that Bloom often attended environmental events and parties that DiCaprio participated in or hosted. Cooper worked as a bellboy at a hotel before his debut and it was at this time that he met DiCaprio for the first time while using the hotel where he worked. Cooper has maintained a close friendship with him even after his debut and in the summer of 2014, they were spotted enjoying a vacation together.

Unlike gossip magazines are always portrayed as arrogant flirt people around him evaluate him as an outgoing and kind person. However, it is clear that he draws the line even to his best friend to the extent that he is said to not confide well. Every time he appears in a movie he makes a cameo of a person around him. If you watch the movie carefully you can see DiCaprio’s mother briefly passing by. he has a very strong bond with his mother and recently an article appeared saying that he was fortunate to have someone like his mother as his parent. he said that while filming J. Edgar he realized how lucky he was to have parents who didn’t try to manipulate their son.

This relationship between mother and child is really special so he often appeared with his mother on the red carpet when she was a rookie actress and accompanied his mother on overseas promotional tours. Although divorced he maintains a close relationship with his father and he and his father officially attended the 2008 NIAF special award ceremony.

New Year Hunter

DiCaprio’s preference for women is blonde tall younger women under the age of 25. he has only 18 officially known girlfriends. Although he has dated many women over the decades he is always dating women of a similar style. Thanks to that if rumors of a romance with a woman who deviated from this standard surfaced I could filter them out without even looking at them. Excluding cases 1 and 2 it is also characteristic that the dating period with a woman is not long around 1 to 2 years and the age of the woman dating is not over 25 years old.

In addition, even the dating course is always fixed and it is not difficult for the paparazzi to take pictures by going on a street date in New York without hiding anything or riding a rented yacht or bicycle. If a blonde woman is pictured riding a bicycle with DiCaprio it proves that he is in a relationship. The first time he appeared with his model girlfriend was in 1996 on the red carpet for the movie Romeo and Juliet. The girlfriend he brought with him at the time was model Christine Chang.

He also dated Bobby Brown Bridget Hall Brittany Daniel and Eva Herzigova.

In April 2000 he started dating Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen. he garnered a lot of attention with the meeting of Hollywood’s top actors and top models and he dated for quite a long time and even predicted marriage but they broke up at the end of 2005 before she was over 25 years old. Shortly after she broke up with Bundchen she had a long-term relationship with Israeli model Bar Refaeli and she broke up once in the middle from late 2005 to May 2011 in the process of getting back together. he also briefly dated Blake Lively a blonde and slender actress for about five months from May to October 2011.

From December 2011 Victoria’s Secret’s Angel Erin Heatherton born in 1989 is 15 years younger than him but broke up in October 2012 after 10 months. After his split with Heather Turn, he had scandals with Margarita Gauche Heather Hahn and Madeline Guinea. And from this time on he explicitly starts dating young women born after the 90s.

Since May 2013 the German-born model has been dating Tony Garn also Victoria’s Secret angel. Garn was born in 1992 and is 18 years younger than DiCaprio who was born in 1974. he then broke up with Garn and was dating 1990s model Kelly Lauer Bark who was 16 years her junior but they broke up in December 2015. In 2016 he dated model Nina Agdal born in 1992 but they broke up a year later on May 18, 2017.

In 2018 it was reported that he was dating model Camilla Morrone. Her original hair color of Morrone was blonde but she dyed it brown and she continues to keep her brown hair even during her relationship with DiCaprio. She is Camilla she was born in 1997 she is 23 years younger than DiCaprio and she was born the year Titanic was released. Even Camila Morrone’s mother is two years younger than DiCaprio. She is also the first girlfriend Leo accompanied Oscar since Gisele Bundchen.

On the one hand over the gossip and speculation between the two of her Camila Morrone posted on her Instagram “Those who pour their anger into knowing nothing should learn to put their attention and time elsewhere. he has expressed his position. As expected on August 30 2022 an article was reported that Camilla also broke up after her 25th birthday. The breakup is estimated to be in May.

In addition to the looks of the women he is dating, it is known that they are also similar in age, and even a summary like this was made on Reddit. There is also a person missing from the graph, and at the time of 2017, dating rumors arose about Alina Baikova, a Ukrainian model born in 1989. As you can see if you look closely, DiCaprio’s age curve goes up and now he’s looking at the age of 50, but the age curves of his opponents never go over 25 for 10 years. In place. It’s a famous story even within Hollywood so it eventually became the target of bitter satire by Ricky Gervais, who hosted the 77th Golden Globe Awards in 2020. As you can see from the reaction on Reddit even in the United States this age gap is a target of criticism. A series of white-blonde female preferences are even ridiculed as paraphilia.

The letterboxed review of the 2021 Netflix movie Money Lookup, which received the most likes, said, “Leo’s Oscar-quality performance pretending to like girls his age.” this is a sarcastic article about him.

Now that he’s also an ’01 and an ’02 adult, there’s a chance he’ll make his 2000s cadet new girlfriend. It even went so far as to say, ‘Jack was able to survive in Titanic, but the reason he chose her death himself was that Rose was over 25 years old.

At the 74th Emmy Awards in 2022, host Keenan Thompson celebrated Zendaya ‘s 26th birthday, saying, “She just turned 26. 26 is a strange age in Hollywood. She’s young enough for a high school role, but “I’m too old to date DiCaprio.”  At the Academy Awards held earlier in the same year, Amy Schumer teased, “DiCaprio is getting older, but he is doing something for the environment for the sake of her ‘young’ girlfriends.” In particular Jessica Chastain’s reaction to suppressing laughter after this remark was exquisite. As such, his dating style is a regular tease at various awards ceremonies in the United States.

Other Looks

He owns the film company ‘Appian Way’ and participated as a producer in Aviator. He plans to participate in the production of several films in the future and he is interested in directing films. He is actually a Japanese anime fan who is not well known. It is a Japonesque that is also known for sweeping the Chogokin series every time it enters Japan. He also likes sushi so he buys sea urchins for $1000 at a time. Like many Hollywood stars, DiCaprio has appeared in several commercials in Japan

since 1995 when he started to become famous and can see a different side of himself that cannot be seen in movies.

In particular, in advertisements for Orico Card a financial company, you can see his unusual appearance such as wearing a kimono and practicing kendo. At the time this commercial series was all filmed in the United States and the entire series was filmed in just two days and the appearance fee was $4 million. His nickname in Japan was Leo-sama Leo and it was also popular. I also visited Japan a lot.

He has Jack Nicholson’s facial expression skills. In fact the older he gets the more he looks like Jack Nicholson and he seems to be taking Jack Nicholson as his acting role model. For reference, this is a personal skill that was shown in Japanese variety shows but in the US it doesn’t show this kind of side at all and only the serious actor part or environmental activist side is highlighted so it seems to be shock at the level of culture shock in Europe and America.

Name

When his mother Immelin was pregnant with DiCaprio she went to an art gallery in Italy and felt the first movement as if a fetus was kicking while looking at a portrait of Leonardo da Vinci so she named his name Leonardo. According to DiCaprio, his father thought it was a sign from the universe. His name is Leonardo DiCaprio. The official spelling of ‘Leonardo DiCaprio’ was decided as the standard notation at the 22nd Loan Language Council. The notation of ‘Leonardo’ is recognized as the standard notation only for Italians. Just looking at the name Leonardo DiCaprio he looks really Italian but he was born in America to an American father and German mother who grew up in the United States and is active in the United States so it should be called in English. However, in general, ‘Leonardo DiCaprio’ is widely used and more widely used. In his interview, he also mentions that his middle name is Wilhelm but he pronounces it in German rather than English.

Both his first and last names are foreign names that are not familiar to Americans so when he started his acting career his agency asked him to use the stage name Lenny Williams but DiCaprio said he refused. By the way when DiCaprio was young when he appeared on a talk show like The Letterman Show the first thing the talk show host asked was about his name.

In the late 1990s, the number of teenage girl fans increased enormously in Korea with Romeo and Juliet. At this time the DiCaprio photobook sold at the bookstore in front of the school had DiCaprio himself liking his Italian blood so the English pronunciation of Leonard Leonardo There was also a story about preferring to be called ‘Le. O.N.R.D.’ rather than Leonard. The last name ‘DiCaprio’ itself also means that he is from the island of Capri so he suggests his own reasons for this. However, since he has already formed a fandom in Korea under the name of Leonardo DiCaprio there is a possibility that it is an excuse for him. On a different note Gisele Bundchen

who was once in a relationship with DiCaprio also featured in this entry has a German-looking name. Even though they are Brazilians in Korea it is common to call them in English, not in Portuguese or German so writing them in English has become the standard. In this way, non-English speaking people are often called in English but DiCaprio is a unique case in which he refuses to be called in English even though he is from an English-speaking country.

Creator activity

Established in 2004 as the founder of Apain Way Productions often collaborating with Martin Scorsese. Representatively there are Aviator Shutter Island and Revenant. In 2016 he signed a contract with Paramount Pictures and will co-produce with Paramount Pictures a Leonardo da Vinci biopic a live-action Captain Planet film a Theodore Roosevelt biopic and a second remake of The Time Machine.

Environmentalist

He is also active as an environmental protection activist to the extent that he continuously donates to animal protection and environment-related organizations and continuously hosts environment-related events. He is also an animal protectionist and says he only eats a vegetarian diet. In fact, he said that he had no interest in acting before and that his original dream was to become a marine biologist.

He has also produced many environmental documentaries most notably “The Eleventh Hour” and “Before the Flood”. He also produced Orphan and Red Riding Hood. In fact, if you look at what DiCaprio wrote and wrote on Twitter and Instagram most of them are about the environment.

DiCaprio has been interested in endangered animals since he was a child and said that his hobby was going to the Natural History Museum on weekends to see animals. So he says that if he hadn’t been an actor he would have been an oceanographer. Perhaps because of that he has been an avid supporter of environmental issues.

After filming the movie ‘Titanic’ in 1998 he has shown great interest in environmental issues including the establishment of the DiCaprio Foundation.

Even though he is one of the actors who symbolize an era in Hollywood he was only in mourning at the Academy Awards. First of all the story of the Best Actor Award came out from Titanic which is considered one of Leonardo DiCaprio’s representative works but failed to win the award. He also aimed for Clint Eastwood’s J Edgar but was not even nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor. Armie Hammer as Clyde Thorson received more attention than DiCaprio as John Edgar Hoover. On the other hand, there was a rather negative view saying that he was only aiming for an Academy Award and choosing only blatantly serious acting.

The main content of criticism is that it seems to be too obsessed with the Oscars by appearing mainly in movies based on true stories and famous directors that the Academy would like. Perhaps that’s why while watching DiCaprio’s Best Actor Award at the 88th Academy Film Festival which was broadcast live on CGV film journalist Baek Eun-do commented “Now I want to see DiCaprio appearing in a fun and light movie without any pressure.” I also left There is a famous drip that makes fun of this in Korea. he’s aka ‘Oh Linda I’m Sorry Linda’. Thanks to her excellent penmanship he directed a scene that looked like a scene from a movie it spread to many Korean communities and became a meme teasing DiCaprio. This tweet was written by ‘Ha Yang-ji’ who serialized the work in Lezhin Comics and the author himself expressed a bitter impression saying “This tweet is several times more famous than my work. ”

Even domestic media have covered this meme. he even cited it when he finally won Best Actor at the88 Academy Awards. There is a meme where Daniel Day-Lewis Christoph Waltz Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway who won the Academy Awards for Best Actor in 2013 get together and laugh

Jinx Analysis

In the meantime whenever DiCaprio was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor he failed to win the award because other actors performed spiritedly as if the soul of a real person possessed. At the 88th Academy, Awards 4 out of 5 nominations played real people and surprisingly DiCaprio broke through both jinxes and won the award.

As an aside, it was the bear who appeared with the bear who acted diligently this time so we had to give the bear an award.

Finally, won an oscar

He won the 73rd Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for The Revenant: The One Who Returned from the Dead won the Best Actor Award at the British Academy Awards and finally won the long-awaited 88th American Academy Award for Best Actor finally winning the Oscar trophy that he dreamed of. Got it in my hand! Actually, there was some disagreement about DiCaprio winning the award for Revenant.

Regarding what he received as Revenant it seems that the atmosphere that it is time for Leo to win an Oscar played a part. It is said that he even entered the Oscars after-party with a trophy. And the news of DiCaprio’s Oscar win was also reported as breaking news by a broadcasting company.

As he is usually interested in environmental activism he mentioned the secret story behind the filming of Revenant during his acceptance speech saying that global warming is real and that we should act for the weak who will be the first to suffer from the damage caused by global warming and for future generations.

According to the Twitter official announcement more than 440000 tweets were posted per minute immediately after winning the Oscar and this record is said to be a new record. The previous record was 255000 per minute for Oscar Ellen DeGeneres and Top Actors selfies in 2014.

Meanwhile, he even made a joke about it when he received the actual trophy after the ceremony. The Oscar trophy is handed out right at the ceremony after the winner’s name is engraved and DiCaprio said to the man who engraved the name on the trophy “You do this every year right? I didn’t know they did it this way.” Do you do this every year? I wouldn’t know. and “How do I keep this trophy?” (“How to take care of it? How to maintain it? What does it need?”). In other words, it is a self-tortured gag that he does not know how to handle the Academy Award trophy because he has not been able to win the Academy Award.

A year later on February 26, 2017 (local standard) at the 89th Academy Awards as the winner of the previous year’s Best Actor Award the Best Actress Award trophy was delivered to Emma Stone.

As an aside after winning an Oscar the period of renewal of filmography suddenly increased. What’s Next After The RevenantA whopping 4 years! Some even said that he lost his motivation after receiving the Oscar given that he had shot a movie almost every year before winning the Oscar. Afterward, DiCaprio returned and said that after receiving the Oscar he slowly rested and devoted himself to environmental movements.

[21] Titanic won both the Sound and Sound Editing Awards, with the Sound Editing Award added in 1963. Considering that the two awards were often given to the same work if there was a sound editing award at the time, there is a possibility that Ben-Hur, which won the sound editing award, could have won 12 awards by winning the sound editing award as well. All 11 awards for Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King were awarded in 1959.

[22] However, at the time, he had a flowery look, but at the time, surprisingly, he had rarely played the role of Jeong Sang-in, which other stars with such appearances played. He tends to start taking on normal roles from ‘Titanic’. Until this time, he has mainly played mentally unstable and precarious teenagers, such as a boy abused by his father, a child with intellectual disabilities, a mentally unstable 16-year-old genius poet, and a high school student who falls into drug addiction and turns to crime. The voice is reminiscent of a boy in his early teens undergoing a change in puberty and deep wrinkles when frowning play a role in adding to this atmosphere.

[23] At the time of filming, he was 18 years old. Filming took place from November 1992 to January 1993, mainly in Texas.

[24] Even at this time, the transformer did not come.

[25] Because of this, young fans saw his early filmography and thought that he was in his early teens (mid-1980s) at the time, and later looked for the year, and found that he was already in his late teens (early 1990s), almost in his 20s at the time. ) is often shocking. Besides, actors in Hollywood often look older than their age due to style, skin, skeleton, etc., so if you are among them, you look especially young. Angelina Jolie, for example, was already in her mid-teens and had an adult look. In 1991, when Critters 3 came out, Angelina Jolie was 16 years old. Looking at the pictorial she took at that time, no matter how you look at it, she looks much older than DiCaprio, but DiCaprio is a year older.

[26] These include Paul Rudd, Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington, Jared Leto, and Keanu Reeves.

[27] In fact, Westerners basically age quickly, so most of them already look like adults at the age of 17, but it is very rare for DiCaprio to maintain his elementary school appearance until he is 17 years old. Even within Hollywood, where there is a lot of baby faces, there are very few people who look like middle school seniors at the age of 20, except for special cases such as DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly, and Matthew Broderick. And Ralph Macchio, the head of this section, looked like a 14-year-old at the time of shooting Best Kid 1 when he was 22 years old, and like a high school student at the time of the interview when he was 30 years old, he looks like he is 40 years old in the current interview.

[30] In particular, in The Departed in the mid-2000s, the overall impression resembled Jack Nicholson in his youth, who was famous for being terrifying, making numerous fans of his older sister and younger sister all over the world scream. At least until Catch Me If You Can, she maintained her appearance during her Leeds days.

[31] There seems to be an opinion that it becomes like Vladimir Lenin.

[32] From The Departed to The Wolf of Wall Street.

[33] Robert Downey Jr. and Brad Pitt, other actors who are referred to as having a baby face in Hollywood, have aged to the extent that there is a gap in their appearance from before, although they are extremely young for their age toward their 60s.

[34] However, Brad Pitt is famous for boasting a sleek, muscular body by taking care of himself even at the age of 60. Compared to the average person of his age, he is certainly unusually young. Brad Pitt is 180 cm tall and weighs 78 kg.

[35] If you compare two photos taken in 1995 and 2019 with Brad Pitt, who is famous for being less old among Hollywood actors right now, DiCaprio’s face looks smaller in 1995, but in 2019, DiCaprio is noticeably taller. can see.

[36] At the time of the film’s release in 2013, DiCaprio was 39 years old, making him older than the original. Of course, like DiCaprio, he covered the age gap with his acting skills, so it didn’t really matter.

[37] He appeared as a eunuch at the beginning of Inception.

[38] It is known that Winslet’s father refused to attend the wedding.

[39] Still, at the beginning of his debut, he also dated black-haired Liv Tyler. However, there is no exception after dating Gisele Bundchen around 2000.

[40] Prior to meeting DiCaprio, she dated Nicolas Cage.

[41] Han Hye- jin, one of Korea’s leading models, was her roommate when she lived in New York.

[42] Ironically, the 1990s was a time when DiCaprio’s appearance was said to be at its peak. The famous movies Romeo + Juliet and Titanic were also released in 1996 and 1997, respectively. In other words, he is currently dating women born in the days of Leeds, who were most popular for their looks.

[43] According to the Reddit user who made this summary meme, it was made with Excel.

[44] The graph above also shows that 25 years old is the maximum allowable age for DiCaprio on the women’s age curve.

[45] Leo smiled coolly and moved on. And in the first place, the target of Gerbass’s sniping was not DiCaprio, but Prince Andrew of England, who is suspected of prostitution of minors.

[46] In one case, actress Florence Pugh shed tears and explained on social media when she was criticized for dating a 21-year-old woman.

[47] In the film, DiCaprio stars as a professor with a middle-aged wife and two college-aged sons.

[48] ​​For reference, DiCaprio’s longtime friend Kate Winslet (born in 1975, a year younger than DiCaprio)’s first daughter, Mia, was born in 2000.

[50] Rumor has it that he is a Code Geass fan.

[52] From the 1980s to the 1990s, when Japan’s economy was similar to that of the United States, many Hollywood child stars were active in Japan. In particular, Jennifer Connelly and Edward Furlong also released albums. Of course, it has become rare since the 2000s.

[53] In Hollywood, top stars don’t appear in many commercials, and most commercials use commercial models/actors. This is because actors’ pay itself is divided into advertisement → TV → movie, so there are many cases in which top actors appear in advertisements with colored glasses. Of course, the trend has changed a lot compared to the past, so there are quite a few cases where even if you are a leading actor, you appear in commercials, but opinions on this are divided. However, in the 1990s, when this kind of gaze was mainstream, top stars rarely appeared in advertisements in the United States, and for this reason, not only Japan, which was overflowing with money but also countries such as Korea, which had a much smaller economy than Japan, gave a huge guarantee and made Hollywood appearances. In some cases, top stars appeared.

[54] Lee ~’s nickname later leads to Beckham -sama and Yon -sama. The part that shows DiCaprio’s popularity.
