Leonardo DiCaprio still open to marriage
Newly-single Leonardo DiCaprio is refusing to rule marriage out of his future, insisting "that time will come".
The Wolf of Wall Street star was recently reported to have parted ways with model/actress Kelly Rohrbach late last year (15), after dating for around five months.
She joined the likes of Gisele Bundchen, Blake Lively, Bar Refaeli,
Toni Garrn, and Erin Heatherton on Leonardo's list of stunning
exes, but despite his latest love split, Hollywood's famous
bachelor still has hopes of one day settling down.
"That time will come when that time comes," the 41-year-old tells
Parade magazine. "The truth is, you can't predict marriage. You
can't plan it. It's just going to happen when it happens."
Leonardo is instead choosing to focus on his career as his work
allows him to escape the monotony of everyday life, even though he
is still baffled by the intensity of his fame.
"If I wanted to quit acting, I could have done it a long time ago,"
he explains. "I love making movies. I feel lucky and fortunate to
do it, and it is absolutely worth sacrificing a lot of my private
life.
"I don't think anyone (famous) ever really gets used to it. It's
always surreal. At the end of the day, there are people with much
harder jobs who sacrifice a lot more of their own lives to do them,
people in the armed forces. I don't want to hear myself complain
about the hardships of being famous - because I do have the freedom
to stop, if I wanted to..."
"Life can get pretty monotonous," Leonardo continues. "Acting is
like living multiple lives. When you make a movie, you go off to
different places, live different cultures, investigate somebody
else's reality, and you try to manifest that to the best of your
ability. It is incredibly eye-opening. That's why I love acting.
There's nothing as transformative as what a film, a documentary,
can do to get people to care about something else besides their own
lives."
He concludes, "My dad always told me, 'Go out there, son, and
whatever you do, I don't care if you're successful or not, just
have an interesting life. Just be happy to put your pants on in the
morning.' I believe I'm doing that."
