LONDON, Dec 17: ‘Titanic’ star Leonardo DiCaprio says he has never been tempted to try drugs because while growing up he saw how they damage people’s mental state.
The 39-year-old actor, who grew up in Los Angeles, said he was never swayed into the path of illegal substances, like many stars in the public eye, reported Contactmusic.
“I’d seen all the hedonism and insanity of the world of drugs. I grew up in a hardcore neighbourhood. Then coming to Hollywood and actually starting to make a career, you see the stuff around you and you’re like, ‘I saw this at age seven’. It’s never really been a problem for me,” DiCaprio said.
The ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ star has decided to take a long break from acting after the promotion for the film has finished because he feels exhausted.
“I have done three films in two years. I am most certainly drained now. I will now take a long break before I come back,” he said. (PTI)
