The actor tells all in the latest 'Rolling Stone.'
He might be riding high on
his recent Golden Globe win, but Leonardo DiCaprio has a few
more triumphs to boast. Many of them involve his environmental
efforts—he's been spearheading the eco-centric Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation since 1998 and is currently developing a documentary on climate change with producer Fisher Stevens.
The actor/activist/artist spoke to Rolling Stone
about his work, both green and onscreen. "There's no way we're not
hypocrites about this, and there isn't a couple of hours a day that I'm
not thinking about it," he said about climate change. "The big question
is, is it all too late?"
His
affections for nature and performance aren't mutually
exclusive, either. In fact, working closely with the
environment―like fighting bears, eating raw fish and swimming in
sub-zero natural waters―was DiCaprio's selling point for doing The Revenant. "We went with the purpose of seeing what nature was saying," he said.
Acting
(and that possible Oscar) aside, other milestones may await him down
the road―like having kids. But Leo doesn't seem eager to start a family
yet. "Do you mean do I want to bring children into a world like this? If
it happens, it happens," he told the magazine. "I'd prefer not to get
into specifics about it, just because then it becomes something that is
misquoted," he added.
Speaking on his own childhood, DiCaprio revealed that his favorite painting is Hieronymous Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights" because it hung above his crib. When he was a baby. Perhaps he'll recycle that for when he has artistically cultured children of his own.
