Leonardo DiCaprio has reportedly changed his stance on Botox, plastic surgery, and hair transplants after hitting 51.
As reported by Radar Online, the Academy Award-winning American actor and film producer’s increasing wrinkles and fading looks are having a strong negative effect on him, which has convinced him to get some nips and tucks.
However, DiCaprio will not completely hide his age by going extra like other luminaries, especially male artists such as Kenny Rogers and Mickey Rourke, a well-placed insider told the outlet.
“You just have to trust Leo’s taste and judgment that he’s not going to take anything like Botox or hair transplants too far,” claimed the source. “He has vanity, it helped make him a star, but he doesn’t want to be a laughingstock.”
Alluding to his trusted pals Kevin Connolly, 51, Tobey Maguire, 50, and Lukas Haas, 49, they stated, “There’s something funny and interesting about Leo’s whole gang of trusted Hollywood pals all hitting their 50s around the same time.”
“Some of them have settled down, some have gotten married and had kids, and some still raise hell and party like there’s no tomorrow.”
“The whole gang, who have been friends for upwards of 30 years, look to Leo for their cues. If he’s going to finally become a dad, which he still hasn’t ruled out, he’s happy to look the part,” the insider shared.
Notably, DiCaprio is well-known for leaving his romantic partners once they turn 25, but his current relationship with the 27-year-old Vittoria Ceretti has his inner circle hoping for a more permanent union.
Also, when it comes to the Titanic hero’s acting career, he “is still addicted to pushing hard and making the biggest, toughest movies he can.”
Leonardo DiCaprio “is chasing legacy more than any of his friends. He likes the new opportunities middle age affords, but he still has to impress the ladies, and he still has to be his handsome self. That’s not negotiable,” concluded the source.
