Life of Leonardo di Caprio:
 Leonardo DiCaprio was born on November 11, 1974, in Los Angeles,
California. His parents named it after the explorer and painter Leonardo
Da Vinci, which, as you can see, was an extremely good omen for him
from childhood. From an early age he showed extraordinary acting
talent. He began acting in episodic roles on television series and
commercials. Although he was often not mentioned even at the top of
production, in the third grade of high school he had to give up further
education due to overwork.
 Leonardo DiCaprio is the only child of Irmelin Indenbriken and George
DiCaprio. Leo’s mother is a German who moved to the United States in
1950 and his father has Italian-German roots. The couple divorced when
Leo was a year old.
 According to one of the anecdotes, DiCaprio was named after another
famous Leonardo - da Vinci. Leo's mother looked at da Vinci's painting
when she was pregnant and felt the baby's first movements. It is thanks
to his mother that the actor speaks fluent German.
 Before he became one of the most respected actors in Hollywood, Leonardo
DiCaprio was just a poor kid living on the mean streets of Los Angeles.
 Everyone has probably heard of Leo DiCaprio. The American actor has maintained the status of a
star for several decades, and his professional and private life is constantly followed by dozens
of paparazzi. DiCaprio, known for his active charitable activities, primarily for the
environment, is one of the most desirable men around the world. Nowadays, tabloids often
describe him as a womanizer who leads a hedonistic and lavish lifestyle.
 At the age of 15, DiCaprio landed his first major role in the television series Calm Daddy! His
performance was extremely well received by the audience, and opened the door for him to
further engage in big and small screen productions. In 1993, Leo starred alongside Robert De
Niro in The Boy's World. From then on, his career began to pick up momentum.
 In 1997, a young Leo DiCaprio starred in one of the most award-winning films in cinema history,
Titanic. He performed alongside the talented Kate Winslet, and their joint scene “on the door”

 How old was Leo in the Titanic? When filming began, the young actor
was only 22 years old. When the Titanic hit theaters, Leo was
already 23 years old. We must remember that at the time of the

film hit earned him international recognition and cemented his
position in the film world for many years to come.
