Leonardo DiCaprio Reflects on His Career and Upcoming Projects
In an interview with Esquire, Leonardo DiCaprio opened up about his career, feelings, and upcoming projects. One of the most significant revelations was his regret over not being a part of Paul Thomas Anderson's 1997 film, Boogie Nights. DiCaprio had to turn down the role due to his commitment to Titanic, a decision he now calls a "missed opportunity"[1][2][3][4].
Regarding his upcoming projects, DiCaprio will be starring in Paul Thomas Anderson's thriller, "One Battle After Another", set to hit theaters on September 25[5]. The actor also expressed his admiration for Anderson's work, praising him as a "masterful director"[6].
In the interview, Anderson asked DiCaprio about his feelings regarding his 50th birthday. DiCaprio explained that he feels the need to be more honest and not waste time, citing his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, who is 82 years old, as an example. She "just says what she thinks and doesn't waste time," he said[7].
Throughout his career, DiCaprio has taken on memorable roles in films such as Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" and the Western film "The Revenant - The Return", for which he won his first and only Oscar as Best Actor in 2016[8].
Looking forward, DiCaprio feels emotionally younger than his actual age. In the same interview, he stated that he feels 32, and last year, he felt 35, not 50[9]. The actor did not specify what he meant by the "next decades will unfold" in the provided context[10].
