Leo at 50: There's no time to waste

HEARTTHROB ON GROWING OLDER

- BY JASMINE ALLDAY

Leonardo DiCaprio has lived dozens of lives in his 50 years and had one of cinema's most famous deaths.

But 28 years after his turn as the ill-fated Jack Dawson in Titanic, Leo says he still feels young.

In a new interview, he tells filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson that he feels no older than 32.

But he does admit turning 50 last November has slightly changed his perspective on life, adding: “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.”

Sharing what his five decades of life have taught him thus far, the star adds: “It's that you just don't want to waste your time any more.

“You have to just be much more upfront. It's almost a responsibility because much more of your life is behind you than it is ahead of you.”
