He achieved worldwide fame in his early 20s following the success of Titanic
But if Leonardo DiCaprio had it his way, he’d prefer to stay out of the spotlight as much as is reasonable.
DiCaprio, 51, has been named TIME’s Entertainer of the Year, and in an accompanying interview detailed his struggles with balancing being a widely-recognizable star with a desire to have some privacy.
‘It’s been a balance I’ve been managing my whole adult life,’ he said, ‘and still I’m not an expert. I think my simple philosophy is only get out there and do something when you have something to say, or you have something to show for it. Otherwise, just disappear as much as you possibly can.’
‘I was like, “OK, how do I have a long career? Because I love what I do, and I feel like the best way to have a long career is to get out of people’s face.”‘
The answer offers insight into why DiCaprio generally conceals his identity when he goes out in public.
The Hollywood hunk seems to never be seen out in public without his identity concealed with the help of a hat and face mask.
DiCaprio started wearing the face mask during the COVID-19 pandemic, and has implemented the covering into his everyday wardrobe ever since.
The accessories have become such a part of his wardrobe that not even a star-studded wedding could stop him from bringing out his trusty hat.
While attending Jeff Bezos’s wedding to Lauren Sanchez earlier this year, DiCaprio was pictured with the cap firmly shoved over his face as he departed his hotel in a tuxedo.
But when duty calls, DiCaprio removes the face coverings for publicity events involving his work.
