They say that Leonardo DiCaprio is very attracted to the figure of one of Soviet leaders– Joseph Stalin, debunked by the 20th Congress of the Communist Party. The star just dreams of making this happen complex image on the screen! He doesn’t look much like a Georgian, but that’s not what’s stopping him Hollywood celebrity: there is still no worthwhile scenario. Everyone's life famous person overgrown with rumors and legends. We cannot guarantee that all the facts below are true, but, as they say, what we bought for is what we sell for!

In honor of a genius

Enough rare name, which was immortalized by genius High Renaissance, gave it to my son loving mother. Irmelin, being “heavily pregnant,” enjoyed paintings in one of the Italian museums - she believed that everything beautiful was useful for an unborn baby. And when she stood in front of the painting by da Vinci, the child began vigorously kicking his legs and pushing his mother in the stomach. The woman understood: he wants to be called Leonardo!

By the way, one of the young artist’s former agents (Leo was only 10 at the time) suggested that he take the pseudonym “Lenny Williams” - simple and clear. Leonardo did not agree.

Half Russian

Meeting with Vladimir Putin, Leo boasted that he was of half Russian blood (the actor’s grandparents were from Russia; his grandmother used to have a completely “ordinary” and common name and surname: “Elena Smirnova”).

Already at just over two years old future star"Titanic" and "The Departed" tasted glory. His father brought him to a TV show, and then advertisers set their sights on the blond angel. He looked really good on camera!

DiCaprio claims that he hates scrutiny of his personal life and does not want to show his true feelings in front of a crowd. What about numerous photos with your loved ones? He wasn’t very shy about something, apparently he was being disingenuous.

"Animal lover" and fan

One of the longest love stories actor is a romance with outstanding woman and the highly successful model Gisele Bundchen. For almost five years these two were together. But the relationship fizzled out.

It was Giselle who presented Leo with a cute puppy - a French bulldog. The ex-boyfriend didn’t think long and named his new favorite Django. Do you think it’s in honor of the hero of Tarantino’s western, in which the actor starred? No. In honor of the popular jazz performer!

Even before the bulldog, DiCaprio had a huge Rottweiler named Rocky. Leo, a great lover of animals, literally saved this poor fellow - he was tormented by epileptic seizures.

And the artist’s other favorite, the three-colored cat Mixi, was picked up by him in the bushes. He picked up the tramp and brought it to his mother - Irmelin did not object to her son’s next whim.

Leonardo has had a love for four-legged animals since childhood. Another passionate attachment - basketball team Los Angeles Lakers. DiCaprio is just a fan of her! For the sake of his idols, he is ready to do anything. One day he neglected a luxurious "star" reception to go to a game. The organizers were very upset by the absence of a guest, although there were plenty of celebrities at the evening - from Gwen Stefani to Halle Berry.

Shame, success and accolades

The actor’s biggest cinematic shame is his participation in the film Don’s Plum Cafe. In it he starred with best friend, Tobey Maguire. What attracted them to this story is unclear. Of course, Toby was not yet in great demand then (in 2000), but Leonardo had the Titanic looming behind him!

By the way, the fame that fell on him after Cameron’s blockbuster was as stunning as it was unexpected. A real “Leomania” followed, the guy had crowds of female fans. And since then, DiCaprio acquired a kind of mania: from now on it seemed to him that almost every girl who dreamed of meeting him was not chasing him, but his success and money.

Filming this film was difficult for the entire group. But “The Beach” almost became fatal for DiCaprio - the boat with it was covered by a wave, and the actor almost drowned.

One of the most flattering praises came from the British actor, long-time member of the Royal Shakespeare Guild, Sir Ben Kingsley. He said that Leonardo was the best Romeo Kingsley had ever seen (referring to Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet).

Stubborn bachelor!

Leonardo is turning 40 years old, and he still hasn’t taken a single girl to the crown! It’s not clear what’s going on, but we’ll name a couple of reasons. DiCaprio is still the same Sissy. Irmelin is an indisputable authority for him. And if the mother didn’t like the next passion, the son goes with her Serious relationships will not start. This woman is the actor’s closest friend; Leonardo does not feel sorry for anything for her. “I can only give diamonds and other precious things to my mother,” the star admits.

What is the second reason for such a long “bachelorhood”? He is too independent and does not tolerate pressure. To report to someone? No way!

What is the ideal woman for Leo? If you look at his sequence ex-girlfriends, then the trend is: model appearance, blondes, light eyes and long legs. He himself said that he was attracted high growth(the height of the artist himself is slightly higher than 1.80 m), luxurious hair ( long hair) And a slim body. Yeah! And myself in Lately Gained a lot of weight!

Leonardo DiCaprio's portrayal is so good that we tend to ignore the things that make him human.

Leonardo DiCaprio - perhaps main character of our time: a sweet boy who turned into a brutal man, a playboy, a philanthropist and a socialite. Vladimir Putin himself considers him a “real man,” and such recognition from the lips of the “main alpha male,” according to Wikileaks, is worth a lot. There is not a single dark spot in DiCaprio’s biography, only a few murky areas that neither the actor’s fans nor journalists loyal to him like to remember. Not because these facts can discredit Leo, but because they transform him from a character from the cover of a men's glossy magazine into an ordinary man about forty.

Leonardo DiCaprio is capable of brawling.

Leonardo DiCaprio can be aggressive not only in the movies

In 2000, the Phoenix hotel bar in Los Angeles closed its doors to Leo forever. His administration had good reasons to refuse to allow a world-famous celebrity to visit: DiCaprio and two dozen of his friends drank too much and destroyed the establishment. In response to the manager's admonitions, the naughty guests suggested that he go to known direction and by the morning they had turned the fashionable bar into the American branch of Sarajevo after the Balkan conflict.

It would seem that there is nothing special about this incident: bombing drinking establishments in Hollywood is a common thing, even Angelina Jolie’s children do it. But Leo is not one of those - he protects his reputation, and therefore learned a lesson from what happened and has not broken chairs or even toothpicks in the cafe for more than ten years.

Leonardo DiCaprio is fond of gambling.

Leonardo DiCaprio really loves cards

Leonardo DiCaprio does not hide his passion for poker, but it is better not to even know how far it extends. Fans were convinced of this after a single card scandal involving Leo, which happened in 2011.

It all started with a criminal case against the head of the investment fund Ruderman Capital Partners, Brad Ruderman, who stole $25 million from investors. It soon became clear that Ruderman needed the money to pay off his gambling debts. At the same time, the names of the creditors became known. They turned out to be WWF board member Leonardo DiCaprio, an exemplary family man Ben Affleck talented actor Tobey Maguire and the equally talented Matt Damon. These respected gentlemen, just a couple of weeks later, robbed the unlucky financier completely in small underground casinos.

Fortunately for DiCaprio, the scandal around him died down quite quickly; the actor did not even have to return the money he won. Did Leo learn a lesson from this story? Without a doubt. Now he plays poker much more carefully. But we don’t even want to know where and with whom.

Leonardo DiCaprio lives with a man.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Lukas Haas

Rumors that Leonardo DiCaprio is a homosexual did not arise yesterday or even the day before yesterday. About unconventional sexual orientation the actor was whispered after the release of the film “ Full eclipse", in which Leo masterfully played the poet Arthur Rimbaud. He was barely 21 years old, and the reputation of an “undercover gay” was already firmly attached to him. Neither romances with long-legged models, nor the role of a heartthrob hero, nor an interview with Esquire magazine, in which DiCaprio emphasized six times that he was not gay, helped him get rid of her. The latter, perhaps, even got in the way.

The main argument in favor of the fact that Leo is not completely sincere with his fans was his weird relationship with Lukas Haas. The 37-year-old actor, who starred in the films Witness, Mars Attacks! and “Brick”, has been living in DiCaprio’s house for many years and constantly accompanies the star not only on trips around the world, but also on walks with girls.

Leonardo DiCaprio treats women like objects.

Leonardo DiCaprio on the set of The Wolf of Wall Street

Leonardo DiCaprio and his army of clones - similar friends like two peas in a pod, their model girlfriends managed to become the talk of the town. Leo has not yet broken up with Toni Garrn, and everyone already knows what his next lover will look like. Why doesn't DiCaprio change the type he chose once? There are several possible answers: we don’t even want to think about the first (see point 3), the second is no less sad - the actor treats women as beautiful things. He even hinted at this in an interview with Psychologies magazine in 2011.

Answering a journalist’s question about why he only dates supermodels, DiCaprio cited the example of Howard Hughes, the hero of the film “The Aviator.” The eccentric millionaire only dated A-list movie stars, and Leo believes his love for women was like his love for airplanes. " Beautiful women, airplanes, cars, films, Hughes filled a gaping hole in himself... But I definitely don’t have such a gap. There is something else, but I’m unlikely to formulate it,” the actor noted.
