Leonardo DiCaprio experienced a lot of bad luck in life, including accidents and Oscar snubs.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s illustrious and lengthy career in Hollywood dates back to when he famously starred in James Cameron’s Titanic. From there, he built an incredible portfolio of films that encompass many genres and roles worthy of awards. He has become one of the most highly-paid actors in the industry and a consistent A-lister. DiCaprio’s life is far from being unlucky, as many fans would say.
Edward Norton begs to differ. He gave DiCaprio the nickname ‘Unlucky Leo’ because he has witnessed his friend get into accidents and mishaps several times in the past. Perhaps one can add his consistent Oscar snubs to the list.
Edward Norton Reveals How Terribly Unlucky Leonardo DiCaprio Is
During Edward Norton’s interview via The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he shared his long-enduring friendship with Leonardo DiCaprio and how they went on several adventures together.
“Leo’s like a very old friend of mine, and our friendship’s totally based in our mutual passion for environmental advocacy and climate change work. We’ve taken a lot of trips together, to amazing places. We’ve gone diving together, and gone to see a lot of incredible natural wonders together.”
In one instance, he called his friend ‘Unlucky Leo’ because he seemed to attract bad luck. Every misfortune a person can think of probably happened to the Inception star.
“We call him unlucky Leo. But you have to understand, Leo has almost had a parachute not open on him, skydiving on his birthday. He’s had a plane engine blow up on him, and my wife and I make this joke, we’re like, ‘Let’s not do adventurous things with Leo.’ ”
