The man, the myth, the legend. Leonardo DiCaprio has got it all. With good looks, charm, a big heart and one of the most well-known names in Hollywood, he’s the whole package. If you know me, you know that no one compares to him for me. Honestly, after getting a taste of young Leo in “Romeo + Juliet” and “Catch Me If You Can,” how can you not fall under his spell? If I could, I would make the day he won his first Oscar a national holiday. But sadly, I don’t see that happening any time soon. For you other fellow Leo lovers out there, get ready because FSU’s Askew Student Life Center will be having a Leo Fest. That’s right! All things Leo for an entire week. No, this isn’t a dream. From “Titanic” to “Inception,” the ASLC is blessing us with some of Leo’s most memorable movies and ending the week with Leo trivia. So, in preparation for a week-long celebration of Leo, here are some reasons why he’s the best:
1. Leonardo DiCaprio is a household name
If you don’t know who Leo is, where have you been hiding all your life? Even 12-year-old Lindsay Lohan as Hallie Parker knew he was a big deal back in the day.
