I guess you can say he came a long ways from that moment.
4.) Leonardo DiCaprio


The 39 year old actor Leonardo DiCaprio was not always such a stand out lead actor. Growing up he was exposed to drug use, prostitution, crime and violence while living in rough area near Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.

At the age of 15 he went up to his mom and said,”I want to be an actor, so please take me to acting lessons.” You can say the rest was history.
