In response, DiCaprio said he is fond of doing things that scare him.[217] In an infamous article published by New York Magazine in 1998, journalist Nancy Jo Sales criticized DiCaprio as someone whose pursuit was to "chase girls, pick fights and not tip the waitress".[218] John McCain, who was a United States Senator for Arizona, called him "an androgynous wimp".[217] DiCaprio found people's perception of him exaggerated, adding, "They want you miserable, just like them. They don't want heroes; what they want is to see you fall."[11] Following the early media scrutiny, The New York Times' Caryn James credited DiCaprio for being one of the few actors to use his stardom to further social causes but he "rarely lets the public beyond the glittering veil of the photo op".[49] Carole Cadwalladr of The Guardian said DiCaprio is "polite, charming, makes jokes, engages eye contact. And manages [...] to give almost no hint whatsoever of his actual personality."[219] "Life can get pretty monotonous. Acting is like living multiple lives. When you make a movie, you go off to different places, live different cultures, investigate somebody else's reality, and you try to manifest that to the best of your ability. It is incredibly eye-opening. That's why I love acting. There's nothing as transformative as what a film, a documentary, can do to get people to care about something else besides their own lives." âDiCaprio on his love of acting[17] DiCaprio is regarded as one of the finest actors of his generation.[220][221][222] The international stardom he achieved with Titanic (1997) intensified his image as a teen idol and romantic lead, from which he sought to dissociate himself.[67] He has since admitted feeling nervous to star in big-budget studio films because of their hype and marketing campaigns. As an actor, he views film as a "relevant art form, like a painting or sculpture. A hundred years from now, people will still be watching that movie."[223] He often plays roles based on real-life people and stories told in specific periods.[17][224] According to Caryn James, DiCaprio is unafraid of working with established directors on unconventional projects; taking such risks has led him to star in failed films like The Beach (2000),[49] but several successful collaborations with Martin Scorsese.[225][226] DiCaprio has described his relationship with the director as dreamlike and admires his knowledge of film, crediting Scorsese for having taught him its history and importance.[219] Scorsese has commented on DiCaprio's ability to repeatedly demonstrate emotion on screen.[227] Jesse Hassenger of The A.V. Club considers the duo's collaborationsâwhich earned them the 2013 National Board of Review (Spotlight Award)[228]âto be career-defining moments for both of them, and as vital as Scorsese's acclaimed collaborations with Robert De Niro.[229] Agnieszka Holland, who directed DiCaprio in Total Eclipse (1995), describes him as "one of the most mature actors I've ever worked with", and admires his "courageous" choice of roles.[220] She remarked that he does not apply method acting, but is "doing some trick [...] Look at him on screen and, for the moment of the shot, he really becomes the character."[220] Film critic Philip French, writing for The Observer, has identified a theme of characters in the process of becoming a man. He wrote that DiCaprio's inclination toward films about dysfunctional families and characters seeking a father figure allude to his own troubled childhood.[219] DiCaprio often plays characters who themselves are playing roles, which Caryn James says looks simple on screen but is a rather sophisticated acting.[49] He tends to play antiheroes and characters who lose their mental stability as the narrative progresses.[230][231] Derek Thompson of The Atlantic wrote that DiCaprio was "brilliant" and gave his "most impressive performances" when playing "anti-heroes: frauds and cheats and double-crossing liars and mercenaries".[230] DiCaprio is particularly known for his ability to heavily commit to each role he plays; Colin Covert of The Seattle Times noted how this quality sets him apart from most of his contemporaries and "redefines film stardom".[232][233] Several media publications, such as People,[27] Empire,[234] and Harper's Bazaar,[235] have included DiCaprio in their listings of the most attractive actors. In 1998, he sued Playgirl magazine over plans to publish a fully nude picture of him.[236] He has said he does not believe in focusing on appearanceâas this is only temporary and can negatively affect one's profession in the industryâand looks for career longevity instead.[237] In 2005, DiCaprio was made a commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture for his contributions to the arts.[238] In 2016, he was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine.[239] He was included on Forbes' annual list of the world's highest-paid actors in 2008 and from 2010 to 2016 with respective earnings of $45 million, $28 million, $77 million, $37 million, $39 million, $29 million and $27 million, topping the list in 2011. The magazine has commended DiCaprio's ability to star in risky, R-rated films that become box office successes.[240] The Hollywood Reporter listed him as one of the 100 most powerful people in entertainment from 2016 to 2019.[241] A writer for the same magazine credits DiCaprio for being the rare actor to have a successful career "without ever having made a comic book movie, family film or pre-branded franchise. Leo is the franchise."[242] Stacey Wilson Hunt, analyzing his career in New York Magazine in 2016, noted DiCaprio, unlike most of his contemporaries, had not starred in a failed film in the previous ten years.[220] Of his success, DiCaprio says, "My attitude is the same as when I started. I feel very connected to that fifteen-year-old kid who got his first movie."[199] DiCaprio has named Robert De Niro and James Dean as two of his favorite and most influential actors, stating "There were a lot of great actors I really fell in love with, but if I were to pick two, from different generations, it would be De Niro and James Dean".[243] When asked about a performance that stayed with him the most, DiCaprio responded, "I remember being incredibly moved by Jimmy Dean, in East of Eden. There was something so raw and powerful about that performance. His vulnerability [...] his confusion about his entire history, his identity, his desperation to be loved. That performance just broke my heart."[244] Other ventures Environmental activism "Climate change is real, it is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating. We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who would be most affected by this. For our children's children, and for those people out there whose voices have been drowned out by the politics of greed." âDiCaprio during his acceptance speech at the 88th Academy Awards, 2016[245] DiCaprio is identified as one of the most active celebrities in the climate change movement.[246] He was eager to learn about ecology from an early age, watching documentaries on rainforest depletion and the loss of species and habitats.[247] He has said that the environment is more important to him than spirituality, and that he is agnostic.[248] He established the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation in 1998, a non-profit organization devoted to promoting environmental awareness.[249] Although concerned with all areas of the environment, it focuses on global warming, preserving Earth's biodiversity and supporting renewable energy. It has worked on projects in over 40 countries and has produced two short web documentaries, Water Planet and Global Warning.[250] The foundation has also funded debt-for-nature swaps.[251] DiCaprio has received praise from environmental groups,[252] and accolades, including the Martin Litton Environment Award in 2001 from Environment Now and the Environmental Leadership Award in 2003 from Global Green USA.[253] He has been an active supporter of numerous environmental organizations and sat on the board of the World Wildlife Fund, Global Green USA, and International Fund for Animal Welfare.[250][254] DiCaprio has owned environment-friendly electric-hybrid vehicles and his home is powered by solar panels.[252][255] However, his use of private jets and large yachts has prompted accusations of hypocrisy due to their large carbon footprints.[256][257] DiCaprio states that global warming is the world's "number-one environmental challenge".[258] He chaired the national Earth Day celebration in 2000, where he interviewed Bill Clinton and they discussed plans to deal with global warming and the environment.[259] DiCaprio presented at the 2007 American leg of Live Earth.[260] In November 2010, DiCaprio donated $1 million to the Wildlife Conservation Society at Russia's Tiger Summit. DiCaprio's persistence in reaching the event after encountering two plane delays caused then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to describe him as a "muzhik" or "real man".[261][262] In 2011, DiCaprio joined the Animal Legal Defense Fund's campaign to free Tony, a tiger who had spent the last decade at the Tiger Truck Stop in Grosse Tête, Louisiana.[263] Two years later, he organized a benefit "11th Hour" fine art auction, which raised nearly $40 million for his foundation. He told the attendees, "Bid as if the fate of the planet depended on us."[264] It became the world's highest-grossing environmental charity event ever held.[265] On September 16, 2014, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon designated DiCaprio as a United Nations Messenger of Peace with a special focus on climate change,[266][267][268] on September 21 he participated in the March for Climate Change in New York City,[269] and on September 23 he made an opening statement to members of the UN Climate Summit.[270] In 2015, he announced his intention to divest from fossil fuels.[271] He again spoke at the UN in April 2016 prior to the signing of the Paris Climate Change Agreement.[272] A photograph of John Kerry (left) and Leonardo DiCaprio both dressed in suits and looking away from the camera U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and DiCaprio at the Our Ocean Conference in 2016 At a 2016 meeting with Pope Francis, DiCaprio gave a charity donation and spoke about environmental issues with him. A few days later, possibly influenced by this meeting, the Pope said he would act in a charity film.[b] DiCaprio traveled to Indonesia in early 2016 where he criticized the government's palm oil industry's slash-and-burn forest clearing methods.[274] In July 2016, his foundation awarded $15.6 million to help protect wildlife and the rights of Native Americans, along with combating climate change.[275] That October, DiCaprio joined Mark Ruffalo in support of the Standing Rock tribe's opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline.[276] In April 2017, he protested against President Donald Trump's inaction on climate change by attending the People's Climate March.[277] In July, a charity auction and celebrity concert put on by DiCaprio's foundation had raised over $30 million in its opening days.[278] The DiCaprio foundation donated $100 million in December 2018 to fight climate change.[279] In May 2021, DiCaprio announced a $43 million pledge to enact conservation operations across the Galápagos Islands, with the announcement marked by his social media accounts being taken over by a wildlife veterinarian and island restoration specialist, Paula A Castaño.[280] Political activism During the 2004 presidential election, DiCaprio campaigned and donated to John Kerry's presidential bid. He gave $2,300 to Barack Obama's presidential campaign in the 2008 election, the maximum contribution an individual could give in that election cycle, and $5,000 to Obama's 2012 campaign.[281] DiCaprio endorsed Hillary Clinton for the 2016 presidential election.[282] In March 2020, DiCaprio attended a fundraiser for Joe Biden at the home of Paramount Pictures executive Sherry Lansing.[283] Prior to the 2020 election, DiCaprio narrated a Netflix documentary series about voting rights, stating, "All of us may have been created equal. But we'll never actually be equal until we all vote. So don't wait."[284] On social media, DiCaprio urged voters to make a plan to cast their ballots[285] and to draw attention to voter suppression[286] and restrictive voter ID laws, citing VoteRiders as a source of information and assistance.[287] Philanthropy In 1998, DiCaprio and his mother donated $35,000 for a "Leonardo DiCaprio Computer Center" at the library in Los Feliz, the site of his childhood home. It was rebuilt after the 1994 Northridge earthquake and opened in early 1999.[288] In May 2009, DiCaprio joined Kate Winslet, his costar from Titanic and Revolutionary Road, director James Cameron and Canadian singer Celine Dion, in a campaign to raise money to financially support the fees of the nursing home where Millvina Dean, the last living survivor of the RMS Titanic, was residing. DiCaprio personally donated $20,000 to support Dean.[289] In 2010, he donated $1 million to relief efforts in Haiti after the earthquake.[290] DiCaprio donated $61,000 to the gay rights group GLAAD in 2013.[291] In 2016, DiCaprio took part in an annual fundraising gala event of Children of Armenia Fund, as a special guest of his close friend and gala's honorary chair Tony Shafrazi. DiCaprio contributed $65,000 to the cause.[292] After Hurricane Harvey in 2017, DiCaprio provided $1 million to the United Way Harvey Recovery Fund through his foundation.[293] In 2020, DiCaprio's foundation donated $3 million to Australia bushfire relief efforts.[294] Amidst the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the media announced DiCaprio donated $10 million to support Ukraine,[c][296] although the news agency Associated Press suggested this amount was inaccurate.[295] Personal life A picture of Leonardo DiCaprio in a suit while he is looking to his left. DiCaprio in 2008 DiCaprio's personal life is the subject of widespread media attention. He rarely grants interviews and is reticent about his private life,[297][298] but he has been the focus of several references detailing his involvement with women aged 25 or younger.[d] In 1999, DiCaprio met Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen, whom he dated until 2005.[304] He was romantically involved with Israeli model Bar Refaeli from 2005 to 2011, during which time he met with Israeli president Shimon Peres and visited Refaeli's hometown of Hod HaSharon.[305][306] He later dated German fashion model Toni Garrn from July 2013 until December 2014, and later in 2017.[307] DiCaprio was in a relationship with American model and actress Camila Morrone from c. 2017 until 2022.[308][309] He has been criticized by some for the age gaps in his relationships.[e][311] DiCaprio owns a home in Los Angeles and an apartment in Battery Park City.[312] In 2009, he bought an island, Blackadore Caye, off mainland Belizeâon which he is set to open an environment-friendly resort[313][314]âand in 2014, he purchased the original Dinah Shore residence designed by mid-century modern architect Donald Wexler in Palm Springs, California.[315] In 2005, DiCaprio's face was severely injured when model Aretha Wilson hit him over the head with a broken bottle at a Hollywood party. As a result, he required seventeen stitches to his face and neck.[316] Wilson pleaded guilty to the assault and was sentenced in 2010 to two years in prison.[317] In 2017, when The Wolf of Wall Street producer Red Granite Pictures was involved in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal, DiCaprio turned over the gifts he received from business associates at the production company, including fugitive businessman Jho Low, to the US government.[318] These included the Best Actor Oscar trophy that Marlon Brando won for his role in 1954's On the Waterfront, a $3.2 million Pablo Picasso painting, and a $9 million Jean-Michel Basquiat collage Biden doesnât want you to see this⦠[Itâs a new documentary]( that exposes whoâs really in charge of the U.S. economy⦠whoâs really pulling the puppet strings⦠and why Biden, Kamala, and every other Democrat is impotent.
