The public will have to catch Leonardo DiCaprio when they can.
Indeed, the Oscar winner explained that while he recognizes his status as a public figure, he certainly prefers to keep his off-camera life out of the spotlight as much as possible.ย
โItโs been a balance Iโve been managing my whole adult life,โ Leonardo told Time in an interview published Dec. 8, โand still Iโm 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.โ
He added, โOtherwise, just disappear as much as you possibly can.โ
In fact, the One Battle After Another starโwho celebrated his 51st birthday last month alongside girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, Jimmy Fallon and othersโdetailed how his limelight-avoidant mindset works in tandem with his public-facing career.ย
โI was like, โOK, how do I have a long career?โโ he continued. โBecause I love what I do, and I feel like the best way to have a long career is to get out of peopleโs face.โ
And Leonardoโs focus on his career hasnโt just been a revelation in his adulthood. After all, heโs been passionate about being an actor since he was a pre-teen.ย
