George helps Leo with his scripts and all of his main roles which most actors would dream of having. Leo prefers the darker more challenging roles. He gets his German background from his mothers side who was a legal secretary until she began managing her sons rising career. Leo did not like school and often cheated. he was more interested in entertaining his class mates than working. he got into trouble half the time. He appeared in over 30 commercials.
Leo was in many films and different roles, such as Romeo and Juliet, the beach, Whats Eating Gilbert Grape, Marvins room, The Man In The Iron Mask, Catch me if you can and the amazing titanic which got him more stardom than ever. His successful brilliant acting and charming good looks. While filming The Beach (2000) off the coast of Thailand, Leonardo and others were swept off a camera boat by strong winds and waves. No one was injured. [16 April 1999], his first publicity spot was about MILK, When five years old, he was in an educational TV program, called Romper Room and Friends(1953) and was nearly kicked off for uncontrollable behavior. Has a stepbrother, Adam Farrar, at age 10, his agent advised him to change his name to a more American- friendly Lenny Williams, he did not follow that advice. He is very good friends with the actress Kate Winslet co-star (TITANIC) and Vincent Gallo. He once said that playing Arnie in What's Eating Gilbert Grape(1993) was "the most fun I've ever had". In his childhood, he and his mother lived in poor neighborhoods in Los Angeles which he describes as "Ghettos of Hollywood"

In May 2009, Leo, along with Kate Winslet and director James Cameron, publicly pledged to support the financial future of the last living Titanic survivor, Millvina Dean, after it was reported that she had been forced to sell her mementos to pay for nursing home bills. Brought Kate Winslet an inscribed gold ring, after they finished filming Revolutionary Road (2008) together. His favorite actress of all time is Meryl Streep.

(Leonardo Dicarpios quotes) On LEO'S love: I like girls who are intelligent, somewhat funny, and pretty with a nice personality. I don't have the guts that Romeo did. [on marriage] I'm absolutely clean. I've never tried anything. That's not a lie! I'm not the sort of person who tries to be cool or trendy. I'm definitely an individual. I'm nothing like Romeo in real life. I'm shy, but when the time comes to be wild, I'm fun-loving, adventurous, and mysterious. [on the nude scene in "Revolutionary Road" (2008)] - Kate Winslet is one of my dearest friends. We have the ultimate trust in each other and the best of intentions for what we want to do. I knew Kate before Sam [her husband] even met her. So on the outside, it may seem strange to do a sex scene with a woman while her husband is directing. But it didn't feel that way to me. When the scene was about to start, Kate said, in front of the crew, "Wait, wait, this is totally weird." She turned to both Sam and I and said, "Are you guys okay?" We both looked at each other and said, Yeah, we're totally fine. She said, "It's even weirder that you're both totally fine. [on fame after "Titanic" (1997)] - It wasn't the era of penetrating Internet paparazzi that we have now. But my name wasn't me anymore. I was sort of this thing. Kate felt it, too. But a lot of the attention was on me because of the teenage girls who repeatedly went to see the movie. I had the blond hair, and I was Jack Dawson, this heroic figure. So I set up everything in my personal life to rebel against that image in order to strip it down. I had a lot of fun stripping it down. But ultimately, that knocked me a few rungs down the ladder. (2010) These last couple of films have taken a lot out of me so I don't know what I'm going to do next. I have no idea and it's kind of a cool place to be. This year is going to be the year of really taking care of myself because I've reached 35 and I've taken a lot of things seriously, maybe too seriously at times, so I'm going to make sure that whatever I do next and whatever choices I make are really right for me. And we'll see where that takes me.
