Biography
Leonardo DiCaprio is an American actor and film producer who built one of cinema's most financially dominant careers. Born November 11, 1974, in Los Angeles, he began in late-1980s TV commercials and scored his first major film role as author Tobias Wolff in This Boy's Life (1993), earning an Academy Award nomination the same year for What's Eating Gilbert Grape. He achieved international stardom with Romeo + Juliet (1996) and Titanic (1997), which became the highest-grossing film in the world at its time, prompting him to step back and recalibrate his image.
DiCaprio's post-Titanic trajectory shifted toward complex, darkly toned roles: Catch Me If You Can and Gangs of New York (2002), the latter initiating his prolific partnership with director Martin Scorsese. He continued with The Aviator (2004), Blood Diamond (2006), The Departed (2006), and Revolutionary Road (2008), then expanded into high-concept thrillers like Inception and Shutter Island (both 2010). The Revenant (2015) finally secured his Academy Award for Best Actor. His recent work includes Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), and One Battle After Another (2025). His films as a leading actor have grossed $7 billion worldwide, placing him eight times among the world's highest-paid actors.
Beyond acting, DiCaprio founded Appian Way Productions, which produced his films and the documentary series Greensburg (2008–2010), and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, dedicated to environmental advocacy. He serves as a United Nations Messenger of Peace and was named Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters in 2005. In 2016, Time magazine listed him among the 100 most influential people; in 2022, Empire readers voted him one of the 50 greatest actors of all time. As a Scorpio, DiCaprio embodies the sign's drive for psychological depth and transformative reinvention across his career.
