Leonardo DiCaprio, one of the ultimate heartthrobs of Hollywood, may finally win a much desired Oscar (the first of his career) this awards season – and we couldn’t be happier for him!
Here’s 11 times we totally fell head over heels for the angle faced actor (let’s just not talk about the man-bun and beard look of 2014, ok?)
- When he danced like this with total conviction, and didn’t care what anybody thought…
- When he went on a one-man mission to save the earth!
In 1998, Leo founded The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, which is, “dedicated to the long-term health and wellbeing of all Earth’s inhabitants”. In 2013 his foundation gave $3 million to the WWF to protect endangered tigers in Nepal, and this year the actor donated $15 million through his foundation to environmental causes. You go Leo!
- Every time we saw him in a tux. Every. Single. Time
- The first time we saw this sweet picture of the adorable actor at the start of this career – so cute!
- When we found out that unlike so many other Hollywood stars, he has never done drugs
The star had to speak to a drug expert to prepare for his role in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ and he watched a video of “the drunkest man in the world” with co-star Jonah Hill for inspiration for their parts!
- Every time his blue eyes sparkled like this…
- The time we learnt that the gorgeous actor was German, Bavarian AND Italian – swoon!
- When he still acted graciously the fifth time he lost out on winning an Oscar…
- When we found out how he chose to spend his birthday in 2013…
Shunning an exclusive soirée or a party of models on a super yacht (this time at least anyway) Leo chose to celebrate his birthday in 2013 with a charity event that raise $3 million. Niiiice.
- When he decided to take his mum as his date to the Golden Globes in 2014…
…and then went on to thank her in this emotional and heart-felt acceptance speech at the BAFTAs in 2016:
- When this cheeky little move happened…
Leo, can you just stop making us love you so much?!
