Leonardo did not plan to star in "Titanic" at that time.
There are two legends about why he picked up.
The first legend is that Cameron said to him that if you film it, you can win an Oscar, so he agreed.
The second legend is that after he saw the heroine Kate Winslet , he immediately expressed his interest in filming.
Whether true or false, this at least shows that he has always had two wishes.
Win an Oscar and live with beautiful women.
01. Losing an Oscar
"Titanic" did not allow Leonardo to win an Oscar.
However, as the old saying goes, God closes a door, but opens a window.
Leonardo's flawless face on the high-definition screen swept the world along with Celine Dion 's " My Heart Will Go On ".
From then on, a heartthrob was born in film and television.
In 1998, "Titanic" received 14 Oscar nominations and 11 awards, but it only missed the leading actor.
Leonardo was extremely disappointed. After that, he never cooperated with James Cameron again.
But at this time he was still confident in himself.
Because he started studying acting when he was 5 years old, and he was only in his early 20s at the time.
He thought that Oscar was finally back.
But I didn’t expect that it would be 22 years after all.
Because Oscar's wish has never been realized, he devoted himself to realizing another dream.
Looking for a girlfriend, looking for a beautiful and young girlfriend, there are many more things to do, and he has achieved it.
02, uninhibited love of freedom
Leonardo's father, George, was a representative figure of the "Beat Generation" who grew up in the United States.
There is an American novel called "On the Road", which describes the typical mentality of young people of that era.
They are empty, boring, and unexamined, with a kind of emptiness and bravery that is fearless in life.
Her mother, Emmerling, immigrated from Germany.
The two young people fell in love at first sight and got married immediately.
After getting married, the two went to Italy. While admiring Leonardo da Vinci's famous paintings, Leonardo kicked Aimorin while he was still in his belly.
Aimorin thought this was God's will, so he named him Leonardo.
Leonardo was born in Los Angeles in 1974.
Leonardo's parents decided to divorce when he was one year old.
In order not to affect him, the two moved to a conjoined house as neighbors.
Leonardo's father continued to be a member of the "Beat Generation".
As a marginalized literary young man living in a slum, George could not help but take Leonardo to see all kinds of things in the world.
Leonardo was brought to the stage by his father to perform at the age of 2.
Promiscuity, hippies, and all kinds of flashy and decadent lives are all around Leonardo.
His father even encouraged young Leonardo to experiment with men and women.
Leonardo's father seemed to treat him as a toy, controlling him at will.
"Seeing the world" with his father prematurely made Leonardo fall in love with acting.
This is also the source of motivation for him to embark on the road of acting in the future.
But the bohemian life of childhood laid the foundation of Leonardo's life.
It is difficult to imagine that a child who grew up in a land of sensuality and sensuality would have a simple and loyal view of love.
He came out of such an environment and reconciled with himself throughout his life.
03, The Beautiful Boy in the Slums
Leonardo's mother discovered that this environment was not good for his growth.
gritted his teeth and sent him to an aristocratic school. In order to pick him up, his mother had to drive nearly three hours a day.
In his mother, Leonardo saw a positive spirit that was different from his father's.
He began to reflect. This was the first time in his life that he reflected and took a serious look at himself. He began to understand that life is worth awe.
Life is not just about eating, drinking and having fun. In this sense, he completed his first dialogue with himself.
That year, when he was 11 years old, he began to look for an economic company and determined to be a good actor.
The road of being an actor is not easy, especially since Leonardo inherited his father's ridiculous and grotesque behavior.
His thin appearance coupled with his extremely weird behavior caused him to be rejected countless times.
Fortunately, although his father was bohemian, he never hesitated to encourage him at critical moments.
With the encouragement of his parents, he received his first TV series "New Spirit Dog Lassie" at the age of 15.
In 1992, he played Mike Seaver in "Growing Pains".
This is a milestone step for Leonardo, because through this film, he who has gradually grown up has begun to gradually become known.
In 1994, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for "Different Skies".
I thought I had already been nominated, but with a little more effort, I could actually get the statuette .
You are so young and you have an Oscar in your hand. What a glorious sight it is.
This is also the reason why Leonardo was so impressed by Cameron's statement that he could win an Oscar in 1997.
At that time, Leonardo thought that winning the statuette would be a matter of course, but he found that he was wrong.
From then on, winning an Oscar became his obsession.
But what does it matter? His beauty has shocked the world.
04, He and His Girlfriends
There is no other way to describe a person who has grown up like this except that he is gifted.
Leonardo, who failed to win the prize, began to realize his second wish.
According to incomplete statistics, Leonardo has had 57 girlfriends since he was 21 years old.
Among these girlfriends, there are three things that are particularly regular.
At the age of 21, he said
I don’t like a certain type of girl
He also said:
I can’t be with only one girl. Love has always played an important role in my life. I'm still young and I want to meet as many girls as possible. ”
Among these girls, he once had an on-again, off-again relationship with the model Bar Refaeli for six years, but broke up before entering marriage.
The most famous one is his relationship with the world supermodel Gisele Bundchen, they were together for six years, from 19 to 25.
They attended the Oscars together. At that time, they could be said to be the most beautiful couple in the world.
But Leonardo was not willing to settle down. personality He couldn't reach an agreement with Bundchen who longed for a family.
Leonardo inherited his father's artistic temperament.
was extremely curious about things and people, and a new woman always gave him a desire to explore.
This attraction caused by the unknown attracts him to explore like an explorer.
But once the two of them stabilize, he will want to escape.
His ruthlessness is in the form of passion.
To him, it seems that these girls are all substitutes for the standard model.
They are not only similar in appearance and age, but also maintain the same way of getting along with each other. Consistent.
For example, riding a bicycle
Whether he is as light as a bird at 21 years old or when he is in his 40s and has a big belly. .
No matter whether the girl is a supermodel or a famous model.
Leonardo will lead the girls to ride in the wind.
The next girl will take over.
For marriage, he is like this. Said
I have witnessed some interesting marriages, and I have also witnessed some very boring marriages..."
He has always been escaping from a certain fixed lifestyle.
Just like his father's bohemian life decades ago.
Although he is not that unrestrained, consciously or unconsciously, he is also drawing a trap.
People who have been on the road may be diligent or confused.
He has a natural pessimism about marriage.
His parents' casual, romantic and radical lifestyle taught him that marriage is not the only thing.
It is also because of this that he cannot find the stability he needs in marriage.
This was also the second conversation between him and himself, and he also reached reconciliation with himself.
Therefore, it is natural that he is not so eager or even wants to get married.
05, Oscar dream come true
I got a girlfriend who will be 25 years old forever, so I just need a statuette.
Leonardo never slacks off when it comes to acting.
There was a saying at the time that the reason Leonardo couldn't win an Oscar was because he was too handsome.
Leonardo thought for a while and felt that there was no problem with his superior acting skills. The problem must be that he was too handsome.
So, in order to win the prize, he started the road of self-mutilation.
He has starred in blockbusters one after another, with a cumulative global box office of US$6.5 billion.
There are movies like "The Great Gatsby" and "Django Unchained" that look very stylish.
also has science fiction blockbusters such as " Inception ".
"Gangs of New York", "The Wolf of Wall Street", "The Wolf of Wall Street", etc. He has received numerous praises for these films.
Maybe what people say is right.
When Leonardo became a fat man playing with water guns over the years, he won the award.
In the film, he fights with bears and runs in the snow, his face unshaven and covered in blood.
When people barely knew him, in 2016, good luck finally favored him.
On the evening of February 28, 2016, he won the statuette in his hometown of Los Angeles for "The Revenant".
This is a trophy he has waited for 22 years.
Leonardo is an idealist, he is famous and rich, and has a face that cannot win an Oscar.
He is not a genius, and his acting skills are not enough to make him proud of the world.
He trudged on the road of performance with an extremely pious mood.
Perhaps performing is a need engraved in his bones.
Just like that little kid back then, standing on the stage and listening to the applause from the audience, when I think about it, looking at my dad cheering, I feel like I own the whole world.
06, He loves the world
In 1997, Leonardo organized his own environmental organization.
He works personally and travels around the world to raise funds for the protection of the environment and wildlife, with a total amount of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Despite his fondness for late water cannons, he has never been behind in calling for the protection of water resources.
He even returned his own helicopter.
After filming " Blood Diamond ", he was shocked by the current situation in Africa, so he filmed the environmental protection videos "Before the Flood" and "Fire on Ice".
He was awarded the title "Messenger of Peace" by the United Nations and has spoken at the United Nations and climate summits many times.
He has compassion for the world.
This feeling, his girlfriends and the statuettes form him.
He doesn't care about the outside world's opinions, and he doesn't try to find security in intimate relationships.
grew up in a slum, but he didn't have any bad habits.
He is not used to being alone. He has many girlfriends, but no relationship is exclusive.
He is like a kaleidoscope, you can only see one side of him at any time and at any time.
is unpredictable and charming.
