Today, one of the brightest actors in Hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio, turns 40. There are dozens of the most popular films in his assets. Women adore him, men respect him, and the Academy members seem to dislike him a little. But he doesn't care. DiCaprio continues to work and has been trying himself in a variety of roles for over 38 years.

Leonardo first appeared in front of the camera at the age of 2, 5 years (on a children's show) and at the age of 14 firmly decided to become an actor and found an agent. As a teenager, he starred in commercials and TV series (in particular, he could be seen in several episodes of "Santa Barbara"), and made his film debut at the age of 17, starring in the comedy horror film "Critters 3".

One of the films that allowed DiCaprio to loudly declare himself was the 1996 film Romeo + Juliet by Baz Luhrmann. But the real fame on a global scale came to Leo a year later, after filming the disaster film of all times and peoples "Titanic".

But today, film critics and secular observers are not discussing with the greatest interest Leo's best roles, but his unsuccessful race for the Academy Award.

For the first time, the actor was nominated for an Oscar (Best Supporting Actor category) for his shooting in the 1994 film What's Eating Gilbert Grape. In 2005, he was nominated for Best Actor for Aviator. 2007 - A similar nomination for the film "Blood Diamond". Last year, despite his excellent work in the film "Django Unchained", DiCaprio did not even make the list of nominees. Finally, this year, at the end of the Oscars (Best Actor - The Wolf of Wall Street), the Internet exploded with reports that this time Leo was on a ride.

“With regard to the most, perhaps, the famous“neoscaronous”of its representative, the American Academy of Cinematography is full of stoicism, apparently believing that the best role has not yet been played by the actor,” the observers joke.

Let's hope that, in the end, Leo will achieve his goal and the cherished statuette will still be in his collection.
