Leonardo Dicaprio Says Wealth And Success Doesn't Make Him Happy

Leonardo Dicaprio may be a bankable bachelor in Hollywood with a net worth of $200 million, however, in an interview with The Telegraph, the actor said that wealth and success are not truly what makes a man happy.

"I've been very lucky to have achieved a lot of the things that I dreamt of achieving as a young man. But, at the end of the day - and I truly believe this - it is not about achieving great wealth or success. Because they don't bring happiness ultimately. They really don't. What matters is whether or not you've fulfilled the idea of having led an interesting life, whether you've contributed in some way to the world around you," he said during an interview with Chloe Fox of the British publication.

During the interview, Leo shared how passionate he is in in achieving 'total perfection', an ideal shared by the director of The Revenant, Alejandro González Iñárritu revealed that they have shoot in different locations in Canada and Argentina just to capture the most realistic snowy environment.

"I was not the only one! Leo, like me, is absolutely obsessed with total perfection and doing whatever it takes to get to the next level. I think we both suffer from the same disease, which is called chronic dissatisfaction," the director who is behind masterpieces like Amores Peros and Babel said.

The 41-year old actor has always been open about his perfectionist nature. In an another interview with Parade magazine via Daily Mail, he said that he is willing to sacrifice even his personal life just to achieve it.

"I love making movies. I feel lucky and fortunate to do it, and it is absolutely worth sacrificing a lot of my private life. I don't think anyone [famous] ever really gets used to it. It's always surreal. At the end of the day, there are people with much harder jobs who sacrifice a lot more of their own lives to do them, people in the armed forces. I don't want to hear myself complain about the hardships of being famous-because I do have the freedom to stop, if I wanted to," he once said.

Aside from his stellar success in the movie industry, DiCaprio has always been a staunch advocate for the environment promoting anti-global warming campaigns. He is also a known party boy who dates pretty supermodels in their 20s, the latest of which was Kelly Rohrbach.

Meanwhile, Forrest Goodluck, who played the role of Leo's 17-year old half Indian-American son in the movie talks about how he readies himself to be comfortable working with the actor and to do his role well.

"The first step I took into this was trying to see everybody as a whole person. To really see Leo as my father, [I had to] to step back and really talk with these people and never really put anybody on a pedestal," Goodluck said in an interview with People.
