Leonardo DiCaprio has a new interview with August Man Magazine in which he talks about getting older in the entertainment industry and finally turning forty years old.

He says, “I guess the big 4-0 hasn't entered my consciousness yet. I believe it's very important to look back on the choices you've made and re-analyse where you want your life to go and the things you want to do as an individual. I came from a lower middle-class background where, for me, being an actor never seemed like an achievable dream. Once I got my first opportunity to work on a movie, it's really been a mad rush to fulfill that dream."
He adds, “My goal is to keep doing great work? I haven't stopped yet and hopefully the work will never stop. While I'm here, I will always have that drive to not only produce great work, but to make a difference in the world. In my adult life, my environmental work and activism remain a priority. I created a foundation that focuses on raising public awareness of the very important issues concerning our planet, our environment, and the impact we as people have on the world we live in? It is not only an extremely fulfilling and gratifying learning experience, but has also taken me to some of the most interesting and beautiful places in the world."

Leo also talks about his never-ending love for movies, saying, “It's always an eternal sort of mystery in making movies, and that's the great fun, challenge, and excitement about doing what I do. As an actor, I do everything possible to tell a great story in a truly artistic way, but at the end of the day you never know how critics and audiences are going to respond."
Leonardo DiCaprio can currently be seen in theaters in ‘Django Unchained’.
