In an interview with Time Magazine, the 51-year-old explained for the first time what was behind it. It is a conscious strategy that he has been pursuing since the Titanic success in 1997, reports “T-Online”.
Balancing act between fame and privacy
DiCaprio describes dealing with his celebrity as a constant challenge. It is a balancing act that he has to struggle with throughout his adult life.
According to “Joyn,” his simple philosophy is: “You should only take action when you have something to say or something to show. Otherwise, you should withdraw as much as possible.”
