Leonardo DiCaprio Was Luckier With Ladies Before 'Titanic'

By PopEater Staff Posted Jul 21st 2010 01:35PM

Leonardo DiCaprio has been on a roll for the past few years, and in tandem with his new hit 'Inception,' Rolling Stone boasts "one of the most intimate portraits yet of the intensely private actor."

Leo reportedly got so comfortable with editor Brian Hiatt they shared cigars and beers ... and DiCaprio eventually sang a shoddy rendition of the 'Cheers' theme song. Check out a few highlights from the piece:

He was a mouthy, fightin' youngster: "I was essentially a dwarf with the biggest mouth in the world. I would talk back to anyone and be up for any fight, and when you tell a kid that's three years older than you to shove it, you're going to get your ass beat. I was a real punk, there's no question about it."

What makes him nervous? "Really stupid stuff. Things that shouldn't make you anxious whatsoever. It's crazy how your mind will become this database to make you worry about things that are so arbitrary. I have a well-organized life, and I've put a lot of thought into the things that I do, and then, you know, my stomach will be ... I'll just be sitting there, totally anxious about something ridiculous."

He partied hard in the days before TMZ: "I got to be wild and nuts, and I didn't suffer as much as people do now, where they have to play it so safe that they ruin their credibility. I didn't care what anyone thought. It was also about avoiding the tornado of chaos, of potential downfall. It was, 'Wow, how lucky are we to not have hung out with that crowd or done those things?' My two main competitors in the beginning, the blond-haired kids I went to auditions with, one hung himself and the other died of a heroin overdose. I was never into drugs at all. There aren't stories of me in a pool of my own vomit in a hotel room on the Hollywood Strip."

On dating: "I had better success meeting girls before 'Titanic.' My interactions with them didn't have all the stigma behind it, not to mention there wasn't a perception of her talking to me for only one reason."
