Leonardo DiCaprio has developed into one of our most passionate and impassioned performers over the course of his nearly three-decade career. From the start, it was clear that he was a gifted young man: He received critical recognition for films including This Boy's Life, and he was nominated for an Academy Award in 1993 for his role as a mentally challenged adolescent in What's Eating Gilbert Grape? In the 1990s, he became a worldwide heartthrob thanks to a string of romantic performances in films like Baz Luhrmann's MTV-style Shakespeare rendition of Romeo + Juliet and that small movie about a sinking ship and an iceberg that no one remembers.
