who this person is
Okay, I'm going to talk about Leonardo Dicaprio who is a well-known actor from the U.S.A.
I find him a born performer because every time I see films that star him, I will be lost in it, such as Inception and The Great Gatsby.
Meanwhile, he's a keen environmentalist who has a positive influence on the society.
So, I fancy him very much.
As for how I knew this person
I got to know him from a classic film Titanic I saw many years ago.
Although it was my first time to see this film, his wonderful performance left a deep and resounding impression on me.
Since then - his name stayed in my mind forever
Later - I had a better and deeper understanding of him through watching his interviews on the Internet
Moving on to how he became famous
Actually, he was a child star.
[summary]DiCaprio has said his career choice as a kid was to become a marine biologist or an actor, but he eventually favored the latter, as he was fond of impersonating characters and imitating people.
[2] When he was two, he went on stage at a performance festival and danced spontaneously, which was the first time he showed his talent for performing.
[3] Later, when his stepbrother earned a big fortune for a television commercial, DiCaprio, fascinated with this, decided to become an actor.
Why I want to know more about him
[environment]I think highly of him, because he sets a good example for us over the past years —— he's put all his heart and energy into protecting the environment like taking part in green activities, producing documentary films and make public speeches.
[对我影响]What he has done inspires and motivates us to work together to make the world a better and more beautiful place for us to live in.
Therefore, I really take great pride in him.
