Leonardo DiCaprio turns 42 today. He began acting in his teens, with his first major role coming when he joined the cast of the sitcom Growing Pains. He then began getting significant film roles, in films like This Boy’s Life and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?, the latter of which brought him his first Oscar nomination at only 19.
In the next few years, DiCaprio had lead roles in films like The Basketball Diaries and Baz Luhrmann’s Shakespeare update, Romeo + Juliet. And then he was cast in a 1997 film, a romance set aboard an ocean liner on a collision course with an iceberg, about a handsome steerage passenger who romances a girl from a family of impoverished aristocrats:

Titanic, as all know, was a colossal success (the number five film all time in inflation-adjusted box office). Yet for a few years afterwards, it seemed possible that DiCaprio’s star might face, as he made a few missteps in selecting roles (e.g., The Man in the Iron Mask). But by 2002 he had gotten his career back on track (if it was ever off), starring in the financially and critically successful Catch Me If You Can and in the first of several films he has made with Martin Scorsese, Gangs of New York.
Since then DiCaprio has consistently been among the industry’s top leading men. He has made several more films with Scorsese, reunited with Kate Winslet for Revolutionary Road, and with Baz Lurhmann for The Great Gatsby, starred in films like Inception and Django Unchained, and won his first Oscar for The Revenant.
