Think about it – What will you say if I ask you ‘What are you made of?’ I am not too sure about myself, but in his case I know the stuff is deeper, more meaningful and definitely, a whole lot more impactful. He shirks his tag of being a heartthrob, but he is truly one for millions of teenage girls and more than a few boys, all over the world. He is an actor par excellence and he has proved that time and again. Leonardo DiCaprio easily went from relative television obscurity to substantial acclaim for his early performances to achieving mythic box-office status with his role of Jack Dawson in the unforgettable Titanic and becoming one of the hottest Hollywood actors.

When you look at Leo, you know what a gifted actor is all about. He hates to be categorised and you can see that in his choice of roles – ranging from Scorsese’s Gangs of New York and The Aviator to Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can, Zwick’s Blood Diamond and Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet. You look into his eyes and you can feel the intensity of each moment; you know that he is not playing a character, he is the character. But we all know this. So this isn’t about DiCaprio’s rise to superstardom neither is it about his party-boy lifestyle, which the paparazzi seems fixated on. This is about the little known part
of Leo which takes as much pride in being a first-rate actor as he takes in being a citizen of this planet, that all of us share jointly with him.
