The consummate urbanite DiCaprio was born and raised in Los Angeles, the son of New Yorkers. - Far from blockbusters -Even before the theatrical release of "This Boy's Life", Disney had offered DiCaprio a major role. DiCaprio finally won best actor in 2016 for Inarritu's "The Revenant" while Pitt took home the statuette in 2014 as a co-producer of best picture "12 Years a Slave".
