Leonardo DiCaprio shares truth behind why he goes incognito in public
Leonardo DiCaprio reveals why he avoids the spotlight
- Leonardo DiCaprio discussed his approach to public life and career longevity with Time magazine after being named their “Entertainer of the Year.”
- He explained his philosophy of largely staying out of the public eye, only appearing when he has “something to say” or “something to show for it,” to ensure he is missed.
- This strategy originated after the success of the 1997 film Titanic, as he sought to avoid overexposure and maintain a long-lasting career.
- Despite his privacy preference, DiCaprio's dating life has consistently attracted media attention, particularly his past pattern of dating women under the age of 25.
- In a podcast in September, he shared an anecdote from his childhood acting career, where an agent suggested he change his “ethnic” name, Leonardo DiCaprio, to “Lenny Williams,” a proposal his father rejected.
