One of the finest actors in the industry, Leonardo Di Caprio celebrates his 45th birthday. Delivering one blockbuster at a time, this handsome hunk has been a part of some of the most ground-breaking and iconic movies of all times, His versatility and talent cannot be measured or contained to one role and that's what makes him unique in this sea of big sharks.
Just like his roles, his looks have also had a significant impact on making him popular. From being the wicked Calvin Candie in Django Unchained to being the uber cute boy-next-door in Titanic, Leo has often left us mesmerized with his keen eye for detail.
As we celebrate his birthday today, we bring to you some of the most popular looks from his superhit movies:
Titanic
Leo as Jack Dawson, oh boy! Been years, decades even, we still can't get over the ridiculous crush we've had on him. Effortlessly sexy, unabashedly cute and utterly suave in his way, this has got to be the most iconic characters we've ever come across. Also, we considered ourselves blessed to have witnessed Leo in all his glory and element. Melting, yet again!
Romeo & Juliet
Romeo, oh Romeo! Every girl who has read or known Romeo as a character has always labeled it as her dream man and Leo playing that character was just like icing on the cake! Glorious robes, Victorian hats and chic layers of clothing... this has got to be one of the best-dressed characters the actor has played. P.S- we're crushing on the details, what are your thoughts?
Django Unchained
As the main antagonist of this movie, the actor had to take up a vicious look to justify the wicked intentions of his character. Slick, pulled-back hair, a tapering goatie beard and that evil, evil smile, gosh! His role as Calvin Candie has got to be one of the most sadist roles he's ever played. Wicked in his words and ways alike, his outfits also gave away the essence of his character. Dark brooding colors and clashing prints sophisticatedly layered to portray the grandeur and opulence of his character... the sartorialist in us is falling for this look yet again!
Body of Lies
As CIA undercover agent in an action-packed movie, Leo's character kept it casual and broody. The French beard and pulled-back hair gave his role some base, while his casual yet stylish outfits didn't draw much attention to him as an undercover. Carefully mapped out and wonderfully curated, his look became a famous one back in the day.
Blood Diamond
Set around the times of the Civil War, the actor plays the character of a mercenary who wants a precious gem that could change his life. Vintage and basic, we can easily picture Leo as one of the brooding, handsome men of those times, who have set out to achieve their goals or find the purpose of their lives. Given to the theme of the film, earthy colors were majorly used with a blend of pastels and monochromes. Short hair, roughly done beard and a confident demeanor gave the character its foundation. Gosh, can we take a minute!
Once upon a time in Hollywood
The quintessential retro hero, Leo was all jackets and turtle-necks in this movie. With crisp suits and suave outfits making an appearance every now and then, the actor charmed everyone with his effortless sense of style and poise in this movie. Killin' it!
Gangs of New York
With a passion to kill the greatest ganglord of the time to avenge his father's death, Leo's character Amsterdam showed great determination and raw fire in his demeanor. The beard, long hair and layers of rugged-looking ensembles gave just the base his character needed. Sick look, innit?
Wolf of the Wall Street
Crisp suits, printed ties and polo t-shirts for a man who's made it big in the Silicon Valley, this look is as popular as it is fresh! Talk about classics, right?
The Beach
A teenage boy with a laidback sense of style, absolute naivete on his face and that boyish charm, Leo managed to make us swoon every single time. It's all in the details... don't miss the unruly hair and that neck-piece!
The Revenant
For a frontiersman who gets attacked by a bear and abandoned by his hunting crew, Leo had embraced the character with all the blood and broodiness that came with it. Unruly hair, unkempt beard, large, fuzzy clothes and layers of earthy-toned jackets and robes, this look is one of a kind that can be easily associated with someone who longs for survival and the character demanded that. Leo, you did it again!
Young or now a little older, but always unabashedly sexy, here's wishing this absolute gem of an artist a very Happy Birthday!
