ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤWho were you
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ in the 90s?

#Isla90sWeek

Hi. The name is Leonardo DiCaprio. You might know me as an actor, a profession that I adore since I was a child. I love impersonating characters and imitating people, that was why I chose acting over being a marine biologist──one thing I desired too, back then.

ㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤ

I was born as Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio, on November 11, 1974 in Los Angeles, California. I was the only child.

Do you know why my parents named me Leonardo?

ㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤ

The reason was because my dearest mother felt me kicking her belly for the first time when she was looking at a Leonardo da Vinci painting in the Uffizi museum in Florence, Italy.

At the beginning of my journey on becoming an actor, I didn't have it easy.

ㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤ

The endless support from my parents and the need for money had made me keep trying. I am glad that I didn't give up then, because if I did, I wouldn't be what I am right now.

This time, I'll talk about some movies and television show that I did in the 90s.

ㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤ

1. Growing Pains (1991)

I played Luke Brower, a homeless boy who is taken in by the Seaver family──the main protagonists of the series.

I was nominated for a Young Artist Award for Best Young Actor Co-starring in a Television Series because of this role.

ㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤ

2. This Boy's Life (1993)

In 1992, I was handpicked by Robert De Niro out of 400 young actors to play the lead role in this movie──Tobias Wolff, Robert De Niro's character's step son.

ㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤ

3. What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)

I starred alongside Johnny Depp in this movie. I got the role as Arnie Grape, Gilbert's intellectually disabled little brother.

It became a critical success.

ㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤ

This particular role earned me a National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actor and nominations for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award.

ㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤ

4. Romeo + Juliet (1996)

I was the leading actor in this movie, playing Romeo alongside Claire Danes as Juliet.

This movie earned me a Silver Bear for Best Actor at the 1997 Berlin International Film Festival.

5. Titanic (1997)

Ah, this movie. I bet you all are familiar with this one, right? It was an expensive movie, especially in the 90s. Against expectations, Titanic went on to become the highest-grossing film, eventually grossing more than $2.1 billion worldwide.

ㅤ

ㅤㅤ

I played Jack Dawson, starring alongside Kate Winslet. Titanic catapulted me into stardom, it won 11 Academy Awards, but I failed to gain a nomination. Thankfully I was nominated for other high-profile awards, including a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.

ㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤ

From all the movies I mentioned above, how many that you have watched?
