Although this sounds like a Deforma note, it is totally true. According to 'BBCNews', after Leo gained impressive world fame thanks to his role as Jack Dawson (Rose, of course!) In 'Titanic', some young 'rebels' in Afghanistan wanted to copy his haircut. Seen by the government as a symbol of Western colonization, it was quickly banned. Even some teenagers and hairdressers were jailed for breaking this #howcrazyisthat rule.

Years ago, NBC decided to turn Steve Martin's hit film 'Parenthood' into a television series and they needed someone to play the tormented teenager Joaquin Phoenix had played on the big screen; Leonardo was chosen for this difficult job when he was only 15 years old.

Leonardo is a great collector, he started with baseball cards of which he still has boxes and boxes, from there he continued with vintage Hollywood movie posters -which eventually evolved into an important art collection-, and with fossils, which they fascinate him.

In the end, the winner was Cage, who paid $ 270,000 for the skull.
5) Has never tried drugs
Kevin Conelly, who is one of Leo's closest friends, says of him that he is 'a totally normal guy' and is just how Leo likes to be. The award-winning actor grew up poor in a Los Angeles neighborhood that was tough and dangerous then (and today is totally hipster); his father was a hippie comic book salesman and was friends with characters like Charles Bukowski or Allen Ginsberg. Leo said in an interview with the newspaper 'LA Times': "I have never taken drugs because I grew up watching that from a very young age, so the 'temptations' of Hollywood were not a big thing for me.
