The Academy Award-nominated actor discussed his journey to becoming a renowned actor and how he manages his fame in a Time interview.
He revealed that while he is still not an expert on navigating the complexities of fame, he was trying his best:

He stated that the fame he got from the success of the Titabic movie was “intense and overwhelming” and made him start thinking of how to survive as an actor.
“I was like, OK, how do I have a long career? Because I love what I do, and I feel like the best way to have a long career is to get out of people’s face.”
Leonardo DiCaprio, who has long spoken out about environmental issues, stated that the planet was at a “tipping point” and that all the predictions from scientists were unfolding as expected.
