Leonardo DiCaprio Covers Parade

Leonardo DiCaprio Covers Parade

Leonardo DiCaprio is featured in the latest issue of Parade. The 33-year-old opens up about being after love, wanting to get married and having kids some day. Here’s what Leo shared:

On why he became an actor: “My parents never tried to steer me in any direction. I wanted to be an actor, but I never thought it was a real possibility, ever. I thought I’d be a marine biologist, because nature and evolution fascinated me… We’re all after love, aren’t we? Love is what people are hungry for. That’s absolutely why I became an actor.”

On his career skyrocketing: “I am proud to have been in Titanic. I’m grateful for the possibilities it’s given me. If it hadn’t been for that movie, I wouldn’t have been able to take control of my career. It was during that time that I started to think about things that meant more to the world than this glorified, superficial media exposure of me, something I never felt was justified.”

On finding love in his life: “What I definitely feel a need for is to make my life about more than just my career. Just last night I was thinking to myself how little of my life has been lived normally and not spent on some far-off movie location. I want to get married and have children. In saying that, I realize I am contradicting everything I’ve said before. I absolutely believe in marriage.”

On looking to the future: “I hope I never get cynical. I think you need youthful energy, excitement, and optimism in life. There is a lot I want to do, and the more cynical you become, the more you sit on your butt and do nothing. The one thing that I would love is to never become cynical about the things I think are really important, like family, like the environment. (smiles) What I want is to be known as someone who stood for something.”

Hottest man on the planet ; )

no joke .. :|

what if jennifer aniston hooked up with leo? I like leo. He has really changed in the looks department..He was such a little boy in titanic,but is all grown up now

Leo is cute! I used to think he was very superficial but maybe I was wrong! This interview demonstrates otherwise, he has sure matured a lot, and is very wise and insightful! Great Interview! and I agree I like to read about celebs like him, tired of all those boring Disney kids!

This Jennifer Aniston story is from Star magazine so I`m not so sure whether it`s true. JA is a close friend of Tobey`s wife so I`m not convinced he would start with her.
He really seems to be mature and all grown-up. It was a great interview.

omigod. i love this guy since i’m in 3rd grade . now that i’m 19, i still hope that someday i could marry him. kidding. LOL
he’s got such great talents. i juts love him since marvin room. the departed is my favorite LEO!!!!

I know who is that Lise Grendene, she’s beautiful but I don’t know. Dalet your history it’s very funny, I laugh a lot. Qualquer mãe gostaria de ter Leo como genro. Eu sou Brasileira também, de Santa Catarina, pena que eu só tenho 22 anos, só um a menos que Bar (brincadeirinha). But he’s amazing, I just love him!!!!!!!!!!!!

Que bom Jennifer que minha história fez você rir muito, fico feliz quando faço alguem rir…Mas por que “that” Lise Grendene?
Você não gosta dela, a conhece pessoalmente? Ela nem sabe disso aqui, se a conhece, por favor, entre nós ta?! Tenho casa em Floripa. Olha, parabens, pois você está na melhor fase da vida…22 anos!

i heard he got a Life Alert for his grandparents too - that would be awesome if its true

He Is great One,I love Him ,I’m wating for body of lies

Dalet eu não conheço a Lise pessoalmente, eu escrevi that Lise mas eu acho que foi mais um erro na hora de escrever do que uma ofensa, desculpe! Eu moro no litoral sul de Santa Catarina é bem longe de Floripa, mas gostei que você me respondeu!!!

Oi Dalet, sou eu de novo, a Lise realmente conhece Leo pessoalmente, você também conhece ou não?
Porque esse é o meu sonho, sou fã dele há dez anos!!!!!!!!!!!
