He began his film career by starring as Josh in Critters 3 (1991). He starred in the film adaptation of the memoir This Boy's Life (1993), and was praised for his supporting role in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993). He gained public recognition with leading roles in The Basketball Diaries (1995) and the romantic drama Romeo + Juliet (1996), before achieving international fame with James Cameron's epic romance Titanic (1997), which became the highest-grossing film of all time until Cameron's science fiction film Avatar (2009) overtook it. Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio was born on November 11, 1974, in Los Angeles, California.[2] He is the only child of Irmelin (née Indenbirken), a legal secretary, and George DiCaprio, an underground comix artist and producer and distributor of comic books.[3] DiCaprio's father is of Italian (from Naples) and German (from Bavaria) descent.[4][5][6] DiCaprio's maternal grandfather, Wilhelm Indenbirken, was German.[7] His maternal grandmother, Helene Indenbirken (born Yelena Smirnova; 1915–2008),[8] was a Russian-born German citizen.[9][10] In an interview in Russia, DiCaprio referred to himself as "half-Russian" and said that two of his grandparents were Russian.[11] DiCaprio's parents met while attending college and subsequently moved to Los Angeles, California.[Following the success of Titanic in 1997 along with earlier films, 24-year-old DiCaprio established the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation in 1998, a non-profit organization devoted to promoting environmental awareness.[130] Although concerned with all areas of the environment, it focuses on global warming, preserving Earth's biodiversity and supporting renewable energy. It has worked on projects in over 40 countries and has produced two short web documentaries, Water Planet and Global Warning.[131] Because of his active involvement in those causes, he has received praise from environmental groups.[132] Among the accolades received were the Martin Litton Environment Award, in 2001, from Environment Now, and the Environmental Leadership Award in 2003 from Global Green USADiCaprio has owned environment-friendly vehicles, including an electric Tesla Roadster,[149] a Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid,[150] and a Toyota Prius,[151] and his home is powered by solar panels[132] but his use of private jets and superyachts has attracted criticism by some sections of the media.[152][153][154] In 2016, during a vacation in Cannes, France, he made a one-day visit to New York City by private jet to collect an environmental award. Robert Rapier, an environmental analyst, said DiCaprio's lifestyle "diminishes his moral authority to lecture others on reducing their own carbon emissions. He demonstrates exactly why our consumption of fossil fuels continues to grow. "It’s because everyone loves the combination of cost and convenience they offer. Alternatives usually require sacrifice of one form or another
