﻿No, really, Leonardo DiCaprio just can’t help it.
He keeps saving everyone and everything. The environment, the movie industry,
the burning wildlife in Australia, and, most recently, a man from a certain death.
Throughout his impressive 30-year career, the eternally youthful-looking,
polite and humble DiCaprio has also managed to maintain an impeccable reputation.
That is, an almost impeccable reputation, with Leo's name sometimes appearing
in controversial headlines. Because today, we are looking
inside the darker corners of Leo’s soul. Don’t worry, to sweeten the pill, we have some
thrilling details near the end of the video on how Leo helped save a drowning man just mere days ago.

Two words: Don's Plum. Back in the ‘90s, DiCaprio and his bestie Tobey Maguire
made the ill-fated black-and-white heavily improvised movie. In it, a group of friends,
including DiCaprio and Maguire, do and say pretty horrendous things. In one improvised scene,
DiCaprio’s character threatens to throw a bottle at a girl’s face, and then actually hurls a glass
in her direction. Suffice it to say, the on-set atmosphere was tense. The movie turned out to be
so offensive DiCaprio and Maguire fought for it to be banned in most of North America.
The other two words Leo DiCaprio doesn’t want you to remember are Wolf Pack - his loyal crew
of young fellow showbiz stars. Maguire, Lukas Haas David Blaine, and Kevin Connolly were DiCaprio’s
companions in exploring the celebrity nightlife. Before they were Wolf Pack, the guys were known
under another, much more expletive-laden moniker that suggested they liked chasing girls.
Here are some of their adventures. A New York Magazine reporter asked
DiCaprio for an interview. He and his friends called her and, sounding drunk,
laughing, said she would have to do “what Monica did for Bill” in order to score the interview.
In another instance, actress Elizabeth Berkley, of Showgirls fame, caught the
group’s eye. The guys were persistent in their efforts to get her to spend some time with them,
despite Berkley politely saying no. Eventually, her then-boyfriend, actor Roger Wilson,
met with the gang. After exchanging a few words, they went outside, and DiCaprio allegedly ordered
his pals to attack Wilson. Which they did - Wilson was punched in the throat. His $45 million lawsuit
against his assaulters was later dismissed. Not all DiCaprio’s wilder days ended up well
for him. In 2005, he was leaving a party when a girl doused him in liquid and slashed his
face with a broken bottle. In her defence, the girl, a former model, said she mistook
Leo for her ex-boyfriend with whom she had had some bad blood. DiCaprio needed 17 stitches to
patch up lacerations on his face and neck. But wait, we hear you say, this is the 90’s
and early 2000’s stuff, Leo was just a kid being his obnoxious and clowning self.
Well, he certainly hasn’t forgotten his Wolf Pack. After famously winning an Academy Award
for Best Actor in 2016, DiCaprio reconnected with Lukas Haas and Maguire. According to witnesses,
the partygoers were howling like wolves and chanted ‘Wolf Pack, Wolf Pack, Wolf Pack!’
Neither has Leo forgotten his womanizing days. Now, whom he dates is his business and his alone.
But there is one disturbing pattern: Leo gets older, and his girlfriends… don’t. The actor
prefers to court ladies who are under the age of 25. Some suggest that DiCaprio breaks up with his
girlfriends right when they begin to mature. One of his former flames, model, writer and
businesswoman Gisele Bündchen, recently revealed the reason why she broke up with Leo. She was
ready to move on in life without smoking, drinking and tedious working hours, and Leo wasn’t.
“Was I alone in wanting to do some serious soul-searching while he stayed the same? In
the end, unfortunately, the answer was yes,” she said.
The Oscar winner and his girlfriend were relaxing on a luxury yacht in the Caribbean
when they received a distress signal. A man fell overboard off another ship and went
missing. Leo’s yacht crew made the decision to look for him and actually found the man,
right before dark and a rainstorm. The Guardian had this to say about DiCaprio:
he is "polite, charming, makes jokes, engages eye contact. And manages [...] to give almost
no hint whatsoever of his actual personality." And Leo himself says his success hasn’t changed
him that much. He feels connected to that 15-year-old kid who got his first movie.
Who knows the real Leonardo DiCaprio? Probably Leonardo DiCaprio.
