Leonardo DiCaprio Ready To Take A “Long, Long Break” From Acting
By Angie Han/Jan. 21, 2013 5:52 pm EST
In a recent interview, the actor alluded to his desire to put his acting career on the back burner for the time being. But a “break,” in this case, doesn’t necessarily mean sipping daiquiris by the pool (though we’d understand if he wanted to slot some time for that as well). Instead, he’s hoping to shift his focus to environmental work for the time being. Hit the jump to keep reading.
“I am a bit drained. I’m now going to take a long, long break. I’ve done three films in two years and I’m just worn out,” he admitted to the paper. “I would like to improve the world a bit. I will fly around the world doing good for the environment.”
DiCaprio’s devotion to the cause is well established. The actor has his own foundation, which according to its mission statement “supports efforts to secure a sustainable future for our planet and all of its inhabitants.” In addition, as he pointed out to Bild, he tries to live his own life according to green principles: “My roof is covered with solar panels. My car is electric. A normal person does not drive more than 50 kilometres (31 miles) a day. That can be done with a plug.” He’s even supported films that further his favorite causes, like Blood Diamond and the upcoming animal poaching film from WB.
