Leonardo DiCaprio, a cinema icon and symbol of eternal youth, is getting ready to celebrate his 50th birthday. On November 11, the star of Titanic, who won over audiences in the role of Jack Dawson, will blow out the candles surrounded by friends and the Italian model Vittoria Ceretti. Despite the long-lasting relationship, according to the tabloids, DiCaprio does not intend to start a family.
As a testament to his extraordinary career, DiCaprio can boast an Oscar for best leading actor in 2016 for The Revenant, as well as five nominations. The last one was for Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood by Quentin Tarantino. His public image is that of a “party boy”, who has remained immune to criticism from the #MeToo movement. Not only an actor, but also an environmental activist, in 2014 he was named a United Nations Messenger of Peace.
His career has developed in parallel with an image that never seems to age, recalling the character of Dorian Gray from Oscar Wilde’s novel.
Born with a name inspired by the Annunciation, DiCaprio made his debut in the world of acting at a very young age. At just 16, he starred in the series Growing Pains and made his film debut with the horror film Critters 3. His talent was noticed in 1993 with his performance in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, which earned him his first Oscar nomination. In the 1990s, he made a breakthrough with iconic roles such as Romeo in Romeo + Juliet and the beloved Jack in Titanic. Since then, his films have attracted the attention of major directors, including Martin Scorsese. Their collaboration has led to masterpieces such as Gangs of New York, The Aviator and The Departed.
As DiCaprio approaches 50, his career continues to flourish. The star has demonstrated remarkable entrepreneurial skills in the film industry, accepting compensatory cuts in exchange for percentages of film earnings. This approach has earned him significant profits. His eligible bachelor status has seen him linked to several famous women, mostly models under the age of 25. With his 50th birthday fast approaching, Leonardo DiCaprio remains a fascinating and multifaceted figure in the modern film landscape. As he takes on new professional and personal challenges, interest in his life continues to grow, promising further exciting chapters in his already legendary story.
