Guests: Episodes with Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio, born on November 11, 1974, in Los Angeles, California, is an American actor and producer renowned for his compelling portrayals of complex characters. Starting his acting journey at age five with a children’s TV show, he transitioned to commercials and TV series during his teenage years. DiCaprio gained critical attention in the early ’90s with roles in “This Boy’s Life” opposite Robert De Niro and “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape,” earning him his first Academy Award nomination for the latter.

Rising to international fame with James Cameron’s epic “Titanic” in 1997, DiCaprio demonstrated a penchant for challenging roles, opting for complexity over blockbuster allure. He cemented his versatility in the 2000s with films like “The Beach,” “Gangs of New York,” and “Catch Me If You Can.” His collaborative relationship with director Martin Scorsese yielded critical and commercial successes like “The Aviator,” “The Departed,” and “The Wolf of Wall Street,” with multiple Oscar nominations along the way.

Despite his on-screen prowess, DiCaprio finally clinched an Academy Award for his role in “The Revenant” in 2015. In addition to his film career, he returned to the limelight in Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood” and “Don’t Look Up,” while also being an ardent environmental activist. He has been involved in various environmental initiatives, including hosting Earth Day events and serving on the boards of environmental organizations. His commitment to the cause is further evidenced by his work on documentaries like “The 11th Hour” and “Ice on Fire,” aimed at addressing and reversing climate change.
