An actor, producer and environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio, is a talented name to reckon with, has consistently given remarkable performances and then taken considerable time off between films as a routine. He was last seen in the 2019 film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood .
DiCaprio has a very interesting Desi connection and it starts right within his family.
