As Titanic swept the world like a whirlwind, the young Hollywood film actor Leonardo DiCaprio became the symbol of the new humanity all over the world.
Leonardo DiCaprio1974165438+1October 1 1 was born in a wealthy family in Los Angeles, USA. Careful fans will find that his name is exactly the same as that of the painter Leonardo da Vinci. In fact, his name existed before he was born. At that time, his pregnant mother went to Italy with her father and visited the Da Vinci exhibition held by a local museum. During the visit, the baby kicked his mother a few feet and seemed very interested in the painter's paintings. Therefore, his mother kept a name "Leonardo" for him, hoping that he would have a successful career in the future.
Leonardo's mother Irene is German. His blonde hair and delicate face are inherited from her mother. His father was born in Ireland. As soon as Leonardo da Vinci was born, his parents divorced, but fortunately, his parents' divorce did not affect his growth. He always lives with his mother and spends weekends with his father. Moreover, his father has always been very concerned about him, and he has been filming in other places, and his father has always been with him. At the same time, even after the divorce, Leonardo da Vinci's father and mother remained as close as before.
Old DiCaprio is a real hippie, full of utopian dreams. When he was young, he lived a bohemian and anti-trend life in the streets of new york. In many films of DiCaprio, we can also see the shadow of this rebellion.
Leonardo DiCaprio's parents liked him since he was a child. They sent him to an aristocratic school for the best education. However, he has never been interested in learning, especially mathematics. Therefore, he finally embarked on the road of film and television. Although his debut was not long, Leonardo first appeared on the screen very early. At the age of five, he took part in the shooting of the TV series "Playroom". 12 years old After 50 interviews, his unremitting efforts finally paid off, and he got 1 the job as a professional actor, a short car advertisement. /kloc-When he was 0/4 years old, an agent accepted him and recommended him to shoot TV series Santa Barbara and New Classics. 1990, 16 years old, he participated in the filming of the famous TV series Growing Pains, in which he played a homeless teenager-Luke. Leonardo's impeccable performance in this TV series even stole the limelight of the protagonist. Leonardo's success in this TV series marks his real rise in the film industry. Since then, his films have been successful step by step. 199 1 year filmed Alien III and Alien Chasing Order successively, and 1992 filmed Poisonous Ivy.
From 65438 to 0993, Leonardo participated in the filming of A Boy's Life, in which he played a teenager who was abused by his stepfather and was extremely depressed and miserable. His acting skills attracted the attention of the public and the media for the first time. In the same year, he also starred in Yani, a mentally retarded child in love. In the film, he doesn't like to talk, often frowning and feeling heavy. His simple and natural performance won him the nomination of 1994 Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his first foray into the film industry. At this time he was only 19 years old.
From 65438 to 0995, Leonardo created an image of an addict writer with distinct personality in Diary of the Blue Ball. At that time, he was at an awkward age, sometimes he looked like a 20-year-old adult, and sometimes he showed the childishness of a little boy, which met the needs of the role. In the film, he vividly portrayed a young man who was dissatisfied with reality and addicted to drugs, so he was nominated for the Film Academy Award and was praised as "the heir of Liwan-Phoenix".
In the same year, he had to co-star with big-name stars king hackman and Sharon Si Tong in the western film Fatal Happiness. Sharon Si Tong, a Hollywood sexy goddess who was very popular at that time, would rather reduce her salary than appoint Leonardo to play opposite her in the film as Remy, the son of the mayor. Sharon Si Tong spoke highly of Leona in her twenties. She has said many times that this young actor is the most talented one I have ever seen. Leonardo also lived up to Sister Sally's high hopes for him. He shows the arrogance and fearless spirit of a young gunman in his role with a personality very different from his parents. After that, he successively filmed Total Eclipse and Kissing Bad Sisters. He plays Rambo, a gay poet, in Total Solar Eclipse, which is also very popular. In Kissing Bad Sisters, he played a terminally ill hero and a rebellious child. Although there are many scenes in the film, it is difficult for him to have any eye-catching performance between the two entertainment giants.
Yani, a mentally retarded child in Alien Sky, Jamie, an addict in The Diary of the Blue Ball, and Rambo, a melancholy character in Total Eclipse, have a great influence on Leonardo's acting career. These roles have established his supreme position as the "best marginal person" in the film industry. 1996, in the modern passionate version of Romeo and Juliet, he created a brand-new Romeo image. In this famous Shakespeare play full of sexual suggestion and violence, his performance is called "Romeo" by critics, which combines mania, rebellious spirit and sadness, and is the "most depressed, hurtful and affectionate male star" in Hollywood. Girls all over the world regard this neurotic modern Romeo as their dream lover. Leonardo also won the Best Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival for this film.
But it was after he/kloc-0 starred in Titanic in 1997 that Leonardo became famous all over the world and his value increased greatly. The film won seven Oscars, breaking the box office records in the United States and around the world. Leonardo also became a "box office bomb at the end of the century" because of his perfect performance in this film, which swept the world like a whirlwind. Young, handsome and full of vigor, he appeared in front of people as a lively and lovely big boy. In fact, when filming this film, director Cameron was not very satisfied with Leonardo. He once issued an ultimatum to Leonardo: "I know that most of your previous roles were too melancholy and a little neurotic, but they were definitely not in this movie." Leonardo finally followed Cameron's advice and created his first "normal" role brilliantly. Indeed, nothing is more difficult for an actor than playing a fresh, simple and simple role. In this film, Leonardo's performance is quite serious, full of curiosity and enthusiasm. Under the tender face, a charming temperament is faintly visible. Leonardo became the spokesman of a new generation of idols.
The actresses who worked with Leonardo DiCaprio also spoke highly of him. They think he is charming, radiant and kind. In an era full of violence, the law of the jungle and the expansion of individualism caused by social crisis, Leonardo represents a new generation of actors: open-minded, willing to associate with people and bringing some positive things to society.
In 2000, Leonardo played an American young man who loves to swim in the online world for excitement in his new film The Beach, and decided to go to Thailand to find a paradise on earth-the beach. The theme reflected in the film is: nature cannot be transformed by human beings if they want to transform it! The first performance of the film in Thailand aroused the public indignation of local environmentalists, who believed that the film had caused environmental damage to the local Feifei Island during the filming process. Leonardo always claimed that he didn't damage the environment, and deliberately committed himself to becoming a pioneer in environmental protection. He visited American President Bill Clinton and talked about environmental protection to promote environmental protection activities. However, with the global release of "Shanghai Beach", Thailand, where it was filmed, welcomed countless young tourists. Richard, the protagonist in the film, went to Thailand shoulder by shoulder, witnessing the idyllic sea and beaches, which greatly boosted Thailand's tourism.
Recently, Leonardo was filming the gangster epic "New York Gangster" directed by the great director martin scorsese, but Martin scolded him for being late. Now Leonardo is fat enough to see his double chin. His next film is Jon Heck, adapted from a true story. He will not only play the role of Johnny and his brother alone, but also challenge his acting skills and play a deformed child without a lower body. I hope Leonardo can bring us more surprises.
