Here’s what Leonardo DiCaprio had to say on the topic of drugs:
“Never done it. That’s because I saw this stuff literally every day when I was 3 or 4 years old. So Hollywood was a walk in the park for me . . . I’d go to parties and it was there and, yeah, there’s that temptation. Hollywood is a very volatile place where artists come in and they essentially say they want to belong. It’s incredibly vulnerable to be an actor and also get criticism at a young age when you’re formulating who you are. We’ve seen a lot of people fall victim to that, and it’s very unfortunate.”
DiCaprio talked about his “poor childhood” growing up in a shadey L.A. neighborhood and how it was motivation to stay on the right path.
