Leonardo DiCaprio Hated Being “Another Piece of Cute Meat”
January 22nd 2007 03:42 am
Leonardo DiCaprio wanted to give up acting for a time after the hit movie “Titanic.”
DiCaprio was back to being considered a “another piece of cute meat” after the 1997 film’s spectacular box office success, an image he had wanted to get away after his days on the cover of teen magazines, he told Newsweek for editions on newsstands Monday.

There wasn’t any point of time prior to “Titanic” that Leonardo DiCaprio was not considered a piece of cute meat. He had always been one. How could he blame Titanic when it’s a matter of fact he always looked like he barely passed O-levels.
“It was pretty disheartening to be objectified like that. I wanted to stop acting for a little bit,” he said at the magazine’s Oscar panel discussion with other actors. “It changed my life in a lot of ways, but at the same time, I can’t say that it didn’t give me opportunities. It made me, for the first time, in control of my career.”
After many successful movies and critical acclaim, DiCaprio said he loves acting.
“There’s no other art form in the world that affects me more. There’s nothing that I walk away from feeling transformed by the way I do with cinema,” he said.
Leonardo DiCaprio is so annoying. As if he knew his way about other art forms. Just be a bleedin’ actor and stopped being so philosophical about things, it’s damn annoying!
