Did you know?!

  1. Big break

    Robert De Niro handpicked DiCaprio for This Boy's Life, choosing him from a shortlist of 400 young actors. In 1992, DiCaprio also had a brief role in the first Poison Ivy film.

  2. A role that slipped away

    DiCaprio turned down a part in Boogie Nights, released in 1997, so he could play a passenger opposite Kate Winslet in James Cameron's Titanic, where their characters come from different social classes and fall in love on the RMS Titanic.

  3. A role that slipped away

    After he finished shooting The Beach, DiCaprio tried out for Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge! (2001), but he did not get the part. He later claimed that his weak singing voice was the reason.

  4. A role that slipped away

    DiCaprio passed on playing Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, released in 2002, because he did not feel ready to "take that dive" then.

  5. A first

    In 1992, DiCaprio made his first appearance on a talk show, the Looseleaf Report, which was hosted by Victoria Looseleaf. Looseleaf later wrote a biography about him in 1998 that was unauthorized.

  6. Behind the award

    DiCaprio was 19 when he won a National Board of Review Award and was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, which made him the seventh-youngest Oscar nominee in that category.
