The Man in The Iron Mask, the so called Aviator, once said Catch Me If You Can on The Beach to the Gangs of New York. this Romeo longed for his Juliet who was away on the massive Titanic, wondering about The Boy's Life…... that was all set on the golden path of success…….any guesses about who this boy is?? Yes, you got that right. We are talking about the immensely talented actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
Leonardo is one of the very few actors in the world of cinema who have won such enormous accolades at a relatively young age. His spell bounding performance, his charming countenance, his captivating personality and of course stupendous acting skills have paved his way directly into the hearts of the audiences. This scorpion, born on 11th November'1974, has proved his incomparable potential as an actor in a number of movies, like Titanic, The Aviator, Catch Me If You Can, What's Eating Gilbert Grape? , William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and a lot many.
Leonardo has a remarkable style of acting where presents a perfect blend of emotions and reality. This ability of the actor has helped him to bag a number of esteemed awards like the Berlin International Film Festival's Silver bear award, the L.A. Film Critics Association's New Generation Award, National Board of Review award, and the National Society of Film. Most recently the actor is named Best Male Performance at 2005 MTV Awards along with this year's Golden Globe for his much talked movie The Aviator.
The aviator has been one of the most appreciated movies of Leonardo; the exceptional success that this movie has achieved has added another father in Leonardo's cap. The movie has been chosen as Best Picture of the Year by PRODUCERS GUILD OF AMERICA, The Aviator has won a total of 5 Academy awards.
Leonardo's first brush with acting came at a comparatively young age, at the local theatres. Following this, the actor got associated with TV and came up with some of the good shows including The Outsiders and Parenthood. Making the Big Screen debut was next on cards for this up coming actor and this came in shape of a horror flick named Critters 3 in 1991.
When the topic of discussion is Leonardo Di Caprio, how can one forget to mention the massive hit Titanic? This movie created rages all around the world and made Di Caprio a star with an international face. Leonardo got his name associated with history after doing this colossal venture. The movie was tagged as the highest-grossing movie ever. It bagged an awesome score of 14 Oscar nominations, winning 11, including Best Picture and Best Director. One thing that needs mention here is though strange but true, despite the fact that Titanic was a great block buster, but Dicaprio's name was absent from the nominations, but this didn't effect the popularity graph of the actor. On the contrary he became the hottest among the teenagers after playing the utterly romantic "Jack Dawson" in the movie.
As far as Leonardo's romantic REAL life is concerned at present he has been romantically associated to model Gisele Bundchen, though there have been tittle - tattle that the couple came apart several times over the last years they are still together.
Talking about the future plans of the actor, we have to say that; he is busy shooting for "The Departed", principal photography on which is already on the move. The movie revolves around two skirmishing policemen portrayed by Leonardo and Matt Damon. Leonardo plays an undercover agent getting thorough with the local mafia. The movie is scheduled to hit the theatres in 2006.
