On how turning 50 impacted him
He said, “Well, it creates a feeling like you have a desire to just be more honest and not waste your time. I can only imagine how the next few decades are going to progress. I look at my mother, for example, and she just says exactly what she thinks and wastes no time. She spends no time trying to fake it.”
On how he unwinds after doing a movie in a rare mention of his “real life” outside of acting:
Leonardo said, “I think I’m good at it because I take a lot of time off between films. I do things more sparingly, which means you’re anxious to get back to your real life once you’ve finished filming. Life goes on hold when you’re filming. Everything stops and gets put on the back burner in your real life. I might be more concerned if I worked too much. To go from film to film, I would be scared about what do I have to come back to? I’m very fortunate for that.”
He also mentioned that he currently was “on a yacht off Croatia right now.”
