About Leonardo DiCaprio (краткие биографические сведения)

 

Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio is an American actor and film producer. Leonardo was born in November 11th, 1974 in Los Angeles, California.

 

His father, George DiCaprio, was a comic book writer and his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, was a court (1) secretary. The father has half Italian and half German ancestry. His mother was born in West Germany, in a bomb shelter. Her father was Wilhelm Indenbirken, a German, while her mother was a Russian immigrant Elena Smirnova. In 1955, Wilhelm and Elena emigrated to the United States.

 

In 2010, at the Tiger Summit, Leonardo had a conversation with Vladimir Putin and said that his grandmother, Elena, despite (2) the fact that she was two years old when she left Russia, was able to speak Russian.

 

The future actor received (3) the name of Leonardo thanks to his mother. He moved for first time in her belly (4) while she was pregnant when she was looking at the pictures of Leonardo da Vinci.

 

When Leo was a year old, George and Irmelin divorced. He stayed with his mother, who had to work three jobs at the same time to support the family.

 

Leonardo first appeared on TV when he was two and a half years old in the audience when his father took him to a popular children's TV show. At the age of 14, Leonardo decided to become an actor. He found an agent who liked both his haircut and his name. Then He starred in more than 30 commercials (5) and a few TV series.

 

His movie debut was in the horror comedy film "Critters 3" (1991).

 

Later, in 1993, he, along with Johnny Depp, stared in the drama "What's Eating Gilbert Grape." In this film, he played Arnie, Gilbert's mentally retarded (6) brother. The film was critically successful.

 

The main film, which brought Leonardo world popularity, was "Titanic" directed by James Cameron. In the beginning Leo wanted to abandon (7) the role, but eventually (8) agreed, because Cameron believed in his acting abilities.

 

In 2002 he stared in a criminal tragicomedy directed by Steven Spielberg "Catch Me If You Can." The film was based on the biography of Frank Ebigneill, who was known for his illegal professional impersonations (9) of doctors and lawyers and check counterfeiting (10) crimes, committed (11) back in the 1960s. The film was shot in 147 different places in 52 days.

 

Leo spent about a year and a half, preparing himself for the role in the film "Aviator" (2004). The film turned out to be a big success and was based on the real-life facts about the American businessman, Howard Hughes.

 

Then, for the 5th time Leonardo worked with Martin Scorsese in the film “The Wolf from Wall Street”. The film was based on Jordan Belfort’s life as a former New York Wall Street broker who was convicted (12) for money laundering and other financial crimes.

 

In 1997, Leonardo was listed as one of the "50 most beautiful people in the world", according to "People" magazine.
