Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio
Birth Date: November 11, 1974
Birth Place: Hollywood, Calif.

Teen fans sobbed when Leonardo DiCaprio, with his beguiling, baby-faced good looks, slipped into watery oblivion in 1997's megahit Titanic. However, the formerly hard-partying heartthrob with a penchant for supermodels has also shown his acting range and talent by taking on risky, challenging roles.

In 2006, his dramatic performances in Blood Diamond and The Departed put DiCaprio in competition with himself for the Best Actor Golden Globe, and he collected his third Oscar nomination for Diamond.

The star is private about his personal life, which includes romances with supermodel Gisele Bündchen and Israeli beauty Bar Refaeli. He does, however, speak out about environmental issues, raising awareness of global warming.
