Leonardo DiCaprio became an overnight sensation when he was just 22 years old, starring in Titanic (1997). He afterward starred in lots of big-movie-quality performances and earned his first Oscar in The Revenant (2015). His partnership with Martin Scorsese, specifically in The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), further cemented his status. Besides acting, DiCaprio is an active environmental activist with open protests on how the planet should be cared for and how animals should be left in the wild.
