Rebel Heart-Throb Leonardo DiCaprio Now Believes In Marriage

A “grown-up” Leonardo DiCaprio reveals how he rebelled against being a heart-throb but also admits his belief in marriage.


Few years ago, he was the magnificent actor Leonardo DiCaprio, made famous by portraying Jack Dawson from the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic, which have received 11 Oscar awards. It was in this highest grossing film of all time that he became a superstar. He posed for many magazine covers, did succeeding international box office films, and became the most searched personality on the internet. He was an instant household name worldwide , a sex symbol, a heart-throb.

But would you believe that Leonardo DiCaprio was not enjoying the “Leo-Mania” after all?

In one of his recent interviews, still magnificent Leonardo DiCaprio, now 34 years old and engaged to his supermodel girlfriend Bar Rafaeli, says he did not like being the number one poster boy.

“Titanic was a period of rebellion for me. I was portrayed as the world’s number one poster boy, a heart-throb. It wasn’t what I wanted to be at 24. It was never the recognition I wanted. The whole experience was so shallow and empty. That’s why I took a break. I was conscious that I needed to do something different.”

And while the young Leonardo DiCaprio rebelled against being a hearth-throb, he also repelled marriage – something that's already an open book to millions of his fans.

So, this will come as great news to the fans of the famous Hollywood bachelor then:

“I absolutely believe in marriage. In saying that I realize I am contradicting everything I’ve said before. Yes, I want to get married and have children... It sounds like the ignorance of youth to me. When did I say those things? Three or Four years ago? Hey, we grow up real fast,” Leonardo now admits.

Surprise, surprise!
