DiCaprio's film debut was a low-budget horror named “Critters 3". The role did not gain him any recognition. Two years later, he broke into movies in the most spectacular fashion when veteran actor Robert De Niro picked him from 400 young actors for “This Boy's Life”.

Just when the appreciations for his performance in “This Boy's Life” were making rounds in the news, DiCaprio landed a role of mentally challenged child alongside Jhonny Depp in “What's Eating Gilbert Grape?” DiCaprio received an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor, thereby cementing his reputation as a talented actor. 

DiCaprio gave many memorable performances in movies like “The Basketball Diaries” (1995), “Romeo+Juliet” (1996). But it was James Cameron's “Titanic” that pushed DiCaprio towards global stardom in 1992. With the box office figures of more than $200 million and 14 Academy Award nominations, “Titanic” ushered DiCaprio into a whole new level of stardom and critical praise.

Leonardo continued to gain box-office and critical appraisal from movies like “Catch Me if You Can”, “Gangs of New York”, “The Aviator”, “The Departed” and “Blood Diamond”. (Best Motivational Quotes)
