Known as "the last Hollywood superstar," Leonardo DiCaprio has not achieved major box office success for some time, but his film this year, "Killers of the Flower Moon," has been highly recognized in film awards, giving him a shot at a second Best Actor Oscar. However, outside of filming and promotions, he loves to cover most of his face with a hat when going out, deliberately avoiding being recognized. He admits that he loves his acting career so much and wants it to last as long as possible, so he doesn't want the audience to get tired of him too quickly; that's why he intentionally keeps a low profile and doesn't want to be recognized.
Loves Covering His Face With a Hat When Out
Ever since "Titanic" swept the world 28 years ago, Leonardo DiCaprio has become the idol of countless young women, and whenever he goes out, he is easily surrounded by fans. This forced him—an actor who had mostly starred in independent films—to adapt, even making him consider returning to his former principle of being selective with projects. Thinking about how not to let audiences get tired of him too soon, he decided that aside from work, he would keep a low profile and not draw attention to himself.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, when most people went out with masks, hats, and other gear to protect themselves from the virus, it inspired him as well. Since then, hats have become an essential accessory for him when he goes out, always wearing them low enough to cover most of his face, making it less likely for people to recognize him. This habit has stuck with him even now, becoming his own personal quirk.
