Leonardo DiCaprio shares truth behind why he goes incognito in public
Leonardo DiCaprio discusses deliberate choice he made about his public persona
- Leonardo DiCaprio, named Time magazine's 'Entertainer of the Year', discussed his deliberate choice to largely stay out of the public eye.
- He explained his philosophy is to only appear when he has 'something to say' or 'something to show for it', otherwise preferring to 'disappear as much as you possibly can'.
- This strategy began after the success of the 1997 film Titanic, as he sought to ensure a long career by preventing audiences from growing tired of him.
- Despite his efforts to remain incognito, his dating life has consistently garnered attention, though he is currently dating 27-year-old Italian model Vittoria Ceretti.
- DiCaprio also shared an anecdote from his childhood acting career, where an agent suggested he change his 'ethnic' name, Leonardo DiCaprio, to 'Lenny Williams', a proposal his father rejected.
