Off-camera, DiCaprio has maintained a carefully crafted air of mystery.
This. In the age where celebrities of all stripes are very public with their relationships, politics, meal plans and the like it's privacy that makes people wonder. Although I would argue there are a number of actors who stemmed from the 80s and 90s who could claim the title of movie star. Brad Pitt is a movie star. Natalie Portman is a movie star.

DiCaprio is more consistent than those two. |

DiCaprio's aura comes because he's one of the only major actors that understands quality over quantity outside of Daniel Day-Lewis. Like, in the last ten years he's only been in eight movies (aside from a couple of nature documentary narration gigs), each one made by a major director and he's the star or co-lead in all of them, and out of all of them J. Edgar is the only one that's considered to be a real dud. By contrast, Matthew McConaughey was in seventeen movies, many of them either terrible or just forgettable and Will smith was also in eight but most of them were kind of shit.
He has kind of a knack for picking projects which are challenging and respectable but not so challenging that they're going to completely alienate his audience. Compare him to someone like Robert Pattinson, who has similar heartthrob roots but then takes much bigger risks on movies like Cosmopolis High Life which... I mean I might appreciate him lending his clout to movies like that but they probably alienate his Twilight fandom and at a certain point they're probably going to stop showing up.

How dare you bring McConaughey into this. Have you no shame?
Leo WISHES he had an EDtv on his résumé.

Agreed. I'd like to see Leo try his hand at Failure to Launch.

But he’s Batman now. |

SnoBorderZero Doomsdaywww.buzzfeednews.com/article/stephaniesoteriou/mischa-barton-sleep-with-leonardo-dicaprio-19Mischa Barton Said That Her Publicist Told Her To Sleep With Leonardo DiCaprio To Boost Her Career When She Was 19 And He Was 30Mischa’s 2005 quotes have resurfaced online after 48-year-old Leo came under scrutiny for being linked to a 19-year-old model earlier this month.Earlier this month, Leonardo DiCaprio faced fierce backlash when he was romantically linked to a 19-year-old model, Eden Polani, after they were photographed together at a Los Angeles party. It came just months after Leo’s track record of dating women decades younger than him and ending the relationship once they turned 25 was highlighted on social media. Last year it was pointed out that even in his most long-term relationships, Leo has never dated somebody past their 25th birthday. And before long, past comments that had been made about Leo’s love life resurfaced online, including former child star Mischa Barton’s revelation that her publicist told her to have sex with Leo for the media attention when she was just a teenager. She hit the mainstream in 2003 when she was cast as Marissa Cooper in the popular TV series The O.C., and she was two years into her time on the show when she received the shocking publicity advice. The star candidly revealed the conversation that she’d had with her publicist, Craig Schneider, during a December 2005 profile with British magazine Harpers & Queen, which rebranded to Harper’s Bazaar shortly afterward. In the interview, Mischa said that when she and Craig saw Leo at a photo shoot in Malibu, he told her: “For the sake of your career, go and sleep with that man.” However, she had no interest in being with the Hollywood actor because she wasn’t attracted to older men. Teenage Mischa is quoted as saying to the publication: “Isn’t Leo, like, 30 or something?”
