Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio was born on November 11, 1974, in Los Angeles, California, to parents Irmelin and George DiCaprio. His name was inspired by a significant moment during his mother's pregnancy when she felt him kicking while admiring a Leonardo da Vinci painting in Florence. Raised primarily by his mother after his parents divorced when he was still a toddler, DiCaprio was influenced by her legal profession and his father's artistic background. Despite the early challenges of a broken home, he maintained a close relationship with his father, who encouraged his creative pursuits, especially in acting.
