Leonardo DiCaprio is a world recognized actor who has played in more than twenty-five well known movies. Some of these movies include Romeo & Juliet, and the beloved Titanic. DiCaprio grew up with his mother who worked several jobs trying her best to support him. This however, didn't stop him from reaching his potential. He finished four years of college and started his career doing television commercials. I admire how through his trials growing up he still chased after and focused on his dream. After appearing in television commercials, DiCaprio made it big when he played Romeo, in the Shakespearean play Romeo & Juliet. He skyrocketed tremendously in this film landing him a spot in the Entertainment Award winning Titanic, which I believe we all can agree was a phenomenal movie. I love Leonardo in Romeo & Juliet however, Titanic was definitely the deal breaker for me. Leonardo DiCaprio can absolutely capture an audience whether the movie's an exciting thriller or hopeless romantic. He has played different types of films, from ones that are more serious and "on the edge of your seat" or sweet and sobby, that's why fans world wide love his movies. Leonardo DiCaprio has played in other films I've loved such as Shutter Island, Inception and J. Edgar. In Shutter Island, Leonardo played an investigator named Teddy Daniel's who was sent to inspect a psych ward for a missing patient. In the end however, the person who was missing ended up being himself and the whole scenario was designed so that it may cure his brain damage after his family passed away. I thought the twist was incredible and it definitely left me breathless. He's also been nominated for countless awards. Leonardo DiCaprio has brought so much to his movies and he's an example that dedication and hard work really does pay off.
