==Early life==
DiCaprio was born on [[November 11]], [[1974]], in [[Los Angeles, California]]. The only child of [[George DiCaprio]], an underground comic book distributer, and Irmelin Indenbirken, a former legal secretary. His father is an [[Italian American]], while his mother was born in [[Oer-Erkenschwick]], [[Germany]] and moved to the US during her childhood. His parents met while attending college together and later moved to [[Los Angeles]] where they married. He was named after artist [[Leonardo da Vinci]], as his pregnant mother was standing infront of a da Vinci painting in [[Italy]] when DiCaprio first kicked.
DiCaprio's parents divorced when he was a year old. He lived mostly with his mother, although his father still played an active role in raising him. He grew up in [[East Hollywood]], and lived in several rough neighborhoods. He recalls looking out of his bedroom window and seeing drug dealers and prostitutes hanging around outside. He once even got beat up while on his way home from school. Money was also scarce. His mother had to work two jobs to support them.
At age 5, he appeared on the kid's TV show, [[Romper Room]], but was booted off the set for uncontrollable behavior.
He attended Seeds Elementary School, [[Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies]] and then enrolled at [[John Marshall High School (Los Angeles, California)|John Marshall High School]] in the [[Los Feliz]] part of town.
He developed an interest in acting when his father began a relationship with a woman who's son, Adam Farrer, was a working actor. DiCaprio began looking for an agent at age 13, but was initially turned down. One agent rejected him because of his haircut, while another advised him to [[anglicize]] his name to "Lenny Williams", which DiCaprio shunned.
In school, he joined the drama club and also took summer acting classes. After signing up with an agency, he went on audition after audition, resulting in him missing a lot of school. He was eventually kicked out of the drama club, because he was hardly ever there. He quit school at 16, finishing his education with a private tutor.
==Career==
===Early career===
DiCaprio's acting career began as appearing in several commercials and educational films. He got his break on television in 1990 when he was cast in the short-lived series based on the movie ''[[Parenthood]]'', where he met child actor, [[Tobey Maguire]]. The two quickly became friends and made a pact to help each other find roles in TV and movies. After ''Parenthood'', DiCaprio had bit parts on several shows, most notably as a brief stint on the soap opera ''[[Santa Barbara (TV series)|Santa Barbara]]'', playing Mason Capwell in flashbacks as a teenager..
His debut film role was ''[[Critters 3]]'', a B-grade horror movie, which later went straight to video. Soon after, in 1991, he became a recurring cast member on the hit [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] sitcom ''[[Growing Pains]]'', playing Luke Brower, a homeless boy who is taken in by the Seavers.
His breakthrough came in 1992, when he beat out hundreds of other boys for the role of Toby Wolff in [[This Boy's Life (film)|This Boy's Life]], co-starring [[Robert De Niro]] and [[Ellen Barkin]]. His performance, as the troubled, abused teenager was critically acclaimed and Hollywood soon took notice. Later in 1993, he starred as the [[mentally handicapped]] brother to [[Johnny Depp]] in ''[[What's Eating Gilbert Grape]]''. His performance earned him both an [[Academy Award|Oscar]] and [[Golden Globe]] nomination for best supporting actor.
1995 was an eventful year for DiCaprio. That year he starred in four movies; the first one, ''[[The Quick and the Dead (1995 film)|The Quick and The Dead]]'', he played [[Gene Hackman]]'s alleged son, Fee, starring alongside [[Sharon Stone]] and a soon-to-be-famous [[Russell Crowe]].
After ''The Quick and The Dead'', he starred in ''[[Total Eclipse (film)|Total Eclipse]]'', a fictionalized account of the homosexual relationship between Paul Verlain, played by [[David Thewlis]], and [[Arthur Rimbaud]]. [[River Phoenix]] was originally considered for the role of Rimbauld, but died before production.
The black-and-white movie ''[[Don's Plum]]'', a low budget drama featuring the actor and his friends (including [[Tobey Maguire]]) was filmed between 1995 and 1996. Its release was blocked by DiCaprio and Maguire, who argued that they never intended to make it a theatrical release. Nevertheless, it premiered in Berlin in 2001.
Also in 1995, he portrayed [[Jim Carrol]] in ''[[The Basketball Diaries (film)| The Basketball Diaries]]'', his lifestory of being a drug addict. [[Baz Luhrmann]]'s 1996 film ''[[Romeo + Juliet]]'' ,again featured DiCaprio as the male lead, with [[Claire Danes]] as Juliet. Later that year he starred in ''[[Marvin's Room]]'', reuiniting with [[Robert De Niro]] and appearing alongside [[Meryl Streep]] and [[Diane Keaton]].
===Superstardom and "Leo-Mania"===
[[Image:Leonardo DiCaprio.jpeg|thumb|left|DiCaprio in 2000]]The move from "star" to "superstar" came when DiCaprio played [[Jack Dawson]] in the 1997 blockbuster ''[[Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic]]'', which became the highest grossing movie in the history of film and received a record-equalling 11 [[Academy Awards]]. Over the course of the next few years he would become a household name worldwide, synonymous with labels such as "teenage heart-throb" and [[sex symbol]]. ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'' placed him in their annual "Most Beautiful People" issue on numerous occasions. At the peak of his celebrity in 1998, DiCaprio fronted scores of magazine covers ranging from ''[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]'' to ''[[Rolling Stone]]'',<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery/5392350/2000_rolling_stone_covers/photo/4/medium/dmx 2000 Rolling Stone Covers]</ref> and was once the most searched for personality in the early years of the [[Internet]]. In 1998, DiCaprio agreed to play the [[Parody|spoof]] role of his real life "teen idol" persona during this period, in [[Woody Allen]]'s satirical parody, ''[[Celebrity (film)|Celebrity]].'' Also that year he played dual roles as evil [[King Louis XIV]] and his imprisoned twin brother Philippe in ''[[The Man in the Iron Mask (1998 film)|The Man in the Iron Mask]]'' which was a loose adaptation of [[Alexandre Dumas]]'s novels.
What came apropos with fame were tales in the [[tabloid]]s of excesses and indulgence. In the [[Japan]]ese media, he was referred to as '''Leo-sama''', with the "sama" suffix given to show the utmost respect. ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' summed up the fame superhighway and its trappings in an interview with the actor in 2000, reporting:
<blockquote>
DiCaprio still thinks of himself as an edgy indie actor, not the ''[[Tiger Beat]]'' cover boy. "I have no connection with me during that whole Titanic Phenomenon and what my face became around the world," DiCaprio commented, adding, "I'll never reach that state of popularity again, and I don't expect to. It's not something I'm going to try to achieve either."
</blockquote>
Nonetheless, the headlines and controversy failed to let up, peaking when he starred in a project by [[Danny Boyle]] based on [[Alex Garland]]'s [[backpacking (travel)|backpacker]] cult classic ''[[The Beach (film)|The Beach]]'' that year. Because of clashes with the Thai authorities over the use of the island of [[Ko Phi Phi]] in 1999, the film garnered more bad press than expected. It was reported that permission granted to the film company to physically alter the environment inside Phi Phi Islands National Park was illegal. In the end, the film also did not score as well as expected at the [[box office]], losing mainstream commercial appeal due to its content.
===Critically acclaimed acting===
In 2002, five years after ''Titanic'', DiCaprio began a shift away from his stereotypical image and moved to engage himself with critically acclaimed directors by starring in two epic movies: ''[[Gangs of New York]]'' (directed by Martin Scorsese), and ''[[Catch Me If You Can]]'' (directed by Steven Spielberg). Both films were very well received by critics. Forging a collaboration with Scorsese, the two paired again for a biopic of American businessman Howard Hughes in ''[[The Aviator]]'', a film that scored DiCaprio a second Academy Award nomination, for Best Actor.

DiCaprio continued his run with Scorsese (some claim him to be Scorsese's "new [[Robert De Niro|De Niro]]") in the 2006 film ''[[The Departed]]'' as [[Billy Costigan]], a smart undercover cop in Boston. His next film was ''[[Blood Diamond (film)|Blood Diamond]]'', released on [[December 8]], [[2006]]. While the film itself received mixed reviews, DiCaprio was praised for the authenticity of his [[Zimbabwe]]an [[Afrikaaner]] accent, known as a difficult accent of English to emulate.
In 2006, the Golden Globes and [[Broadcast Film Critics Association]] nominated DiCaprio twice in the same category: Best Actor for ''Blood Diamond'' and ''The Departed'', which is an extremely rare honor for actors. Also in the same year, he received two nominations for the [[Screen Actors Guild Awards]], a [[Leading actor|lead actor]] nomination for ''Blood Diamond'' and a [[supporting actor]] nomination for ''[[The Departed]]''. He earned an Oscar nomination for lead actor in ''Blood Diamond'' and a BAFTA nod for lead actor for ''The Departed''.
DiCaprio has two films coming out in the second half of 2008: [[Body of Lies (film)|''Body of Lies'']], directed by Ridley Scott, and ''[[Revolutionary Road (film)|Revolutionary Road]]'', an adaptation of [[Richard Yates (novelist)|Richard Yates']] critically-lauded 1961 novel. The latter reunites DiCaprio with his ''Titanic'' costars [[Kate Winslet]] and [[Kathy Bates]]. It is scheduled for release in December 2008.
After working in two [[Warner Bros.|Warner Brothers]] films, DiCaprio will again star in a WB production for a film about the collapse of [[Enron]], based on the book ''[[Conspiracy of Fools]]''. The film's script is currently under negotiations.<ref>[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117959341.html?categoryid=13&cs=1 DiCaprio's fueled by Enron: WB pic to be based on 'Fools' book]</ref>
He is also reportedly attached to a number of other upcoming projects: ''[[The Chancellor Manuscript]]'', [[Stephen Gaghan|Stephen Gaghan’s]] ''[[Blink (film)|Blink]]'', a biopic of LSD-spokesperson Professor [[Timothy Leary]], and two more projects in collaboration with [[Martin Scorsese]], ''[[Shutter Island (film)|Ashecliffe]]'', an adaptation of a novel by [[Dennis Lehane]], ''[[The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt]]'', and Ridley Scott directed ''[[Low Dweller]]''.<ref>[http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=43169 Scott to Direct DiCaprio in ''Low Dweller'']</ref> All projects are in the developmental stages.
DiCaprio currently is ranked the 9th Best Working Actor Today by ''The Screen Directory''.<ref>[http://www.thescreendirectory.com/cat4/top_tens.php?c=12 ''The Screen Directory'': Contemporary Film Actors]</ref> In May 2007, he was listed among ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]''’s 100 Most Influential People in The World.
DiCaprio is currently in talks to star opposite [[Brad Pitt]] in [[Quentin Tarantino]]'s World War II adventure [[Inglorious Bastards]]. Filming is scheduled to begin this fall in [[Germany]].
==Personal life==
A committed [[environmentalist]], DiCaprio has received praise from environmental groups for opting to fly on commercial flights instead of chartering private jets, which use more fuel. He has also mentioned that he drives a [[hybrid car]] and that his house has [[Photovoltaic module|solar panel]]s.<ref>[http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=36315 Leonardo DiCaprio on ''The 11th Hour '']</ref> His actions have inspired other celebrities, such as [[Orlando Bloom]] and [[Penelope Cruz]]. In an article in ''[[Ukula]]'' about his new film ''[[11th Hour (documentary)|11th Hour]]'' (which he co-wrote, co-produced and narrated), DiCaprio cites [[global warming]] as "the number one environmental challenge."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ukula.com/TorontoArticle.aspx?SectionID=5&ObjectID=1779&CityID=3 |title=The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation and 11th Hour at Ukula}}</ref> DiCaprio and former vice-president [[Al Gore]] announced at the 2007 Oscar ceremony that the Oscars had incorporated environmentally intelligent practices throughout the planning and production processes, thus affirming their commitment to the environment. On [[July 7]], [[2007]], DiCaprio presented at the [[Live Earth concert, New York City|American leg]] of [[Live Earth]]. During the 2004 Presidential election, DiCaprio campaigned and donated to John Kerry's presidential bid. In March 2008, DiCaprio endorsed [[Barack Obama]] for the presidency.
In 1998, he and his mother donated $35,000 for a state-of-the-art “Leonardo DiCaprio Computer Center” at the Los Feliz branch of the [[Los Angeles Public Library]] (1874 Hillhurst Avenue) which happens to be the site of his childhood home. It was rebuilt after the 1994 [[Northridge earthquake]], and opened in early 1999. There are commemorative placards and curious fans are welcomed at the library.<ref>[http://www.aboutgaymovies.info/persons/dicaprio_leonardo.htm Leonardo DiCaprio bio, trivia, pictures] from About Gay Movies</ref><ref>[http://www.geocities.com/hollywood/theater/4832/news.html Leonardo Gives It Up]</ref>
During the filming of ''Blood Diamond'', DiCaprio worked with 24 orphaned children from the [[SOS Children's Village]] in Maputo, [[Mozambique]], and was said to be extremely touched by his interactions with the children.<ref>[http://www.sos-usa.org/cgi-bin/sos/jsp/retrieve.do?site=US&hNav=show&nav=5.5&cat=/551_press_releases&fn=US_en_press_090806_leonardodicaprio Leonardos memorable experience]</ref>
DiCaprio owns a home in Los Angeles and an apartment in New York. He bought an island in [[Belize]] where he is planning to create an eco-friendly resort,<ref>[http://www.ecoshopper.net/2007/eco-friendly-lodging-accommodations/leanardo-dicaprio-invests-in-eco-friendly-resort-in-belize/ Opening eco-friendly resort]</ref> as well as an apartment in Riverhouse, an eco-friendly building overlooking the [[Hudson River]].
In January, 2008, [[extradition]] processes began against Aretha Wilson, 37, who escaped to [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]] after seriously injuring Leonardo DiCaprio with a broken beer bottle at a [[June 20]][[2005]] [[Hollywood Hills]] party. She also has pending aggravated [[assault]] cases.<ref>[http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/breakingnews/breakingnews/view/20080105-110525/Extradition sought_in_DiCaprio_attack showbizandstyle.inquirer.net, Extradition sought in DiCaprio attack]</ref>
He was recently invited to [[The Scottish Parliament]] at [[Holyrood, Edinburgh|Holyrood]] in [[Edinburgh]], [[Scotland]], to talk about his foundation which is to raise awareness of our environment. It is not yet known if he has accepted the offer, due to his busy schedule in [[Hollywood]].
He has been in several high profile relationships, including with Brazilian supermodel [[Gisele Bündchen]] and actress/model [[Kristen Zang]]. He has been dating Israeli model [[Bar Refaeli]] since 2006.
