Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio was born in 1974 in Hollywood. He lived in California with his father and mother but when Leonardo was only one year, his father moved away from the family home; however, his father visited him every day so he was happy. Leonardo often danced with his father.
When he was five years old, he appeared on the children's show, Romper Room. This is his first time on TV. He always wanted to play and the show's producers were angry with him. After it, he wasn't on TV again for nine years.
Adam Starr, Leonardo's brother, was an actor and Leonardo also wanted to act. Leonardo went to many auditions, but he often didn't get the jobs; however, when he was fourteen years old, he got a part in a TV commercial for Matchbox cars. After that, he got a lot of commercials and a small part in some famous TV shows, for example, Lassie, Roseanne, and The Outsiders.
After acting on TV a lot and becoming a television actor, he wanted to try movies. He got small parts in two movies, Critters 3 and Poison Ivy. Then he auditioned for This Boy's Life. He and other hundred young actors auditioned f0r De Niro. Michael Caton Jones, the director, watched Leonard and liked Leonardo's acting so Leonardo got this part. In what's Eating Gilbert Grape, he co-stared with Johnny Depp and Juliette Lewis. Leonardo became famous after this movie. He was only nineteen boy. Many people in Hollywood wanted Leonardo in their movies.
Leonardo acted Romeo in Romeo and Juliet and acted Jack Dawson in Titanic. They were very famous!! These roles were difficult but he acted well.
I had known Leonardo DiCaprio because he is very famous. Especially, I like Titanic. He is good actor but I knew he strove to be good actor and he had good talent from this book.
