A look at Leonardo DiCaprio’s dramatic physical transformation through the years 

He has been one of Hollywood’s most famous leading men for almost three decades.

And Leonardo DiCaprio has undergone quite the physical transformation since his days as a budding young actor in the 1990s.

He made his screen debut on the TV series The New Lassie in 1989 and rose to prominence with roles in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape and Romeo + Juliet. 

Now 48, Leonardo is often seen sporting a trimmed goatee and a sleek quiff on the red carpet.  

After he recently showcased his buff physique on a superyacht in Sardinia in May, MailOnline takes a look at Leonardo’s changing looks over the years.

Back in the day: One of Leo’s most recognisable looks was in the 2000 film The Beach, which he appeared in as a 26-year-old

Leo looked worlds away from his current self when he rose to fame in the early 1990s as a fresh-faced actor in his late teens.

One of his earliest memorably roles was as Luke Brower on the beloved sitcom Growing Pains, which he starred on from 1991 to 1992.

Only a year later his career had truly taken off as he landed lead roles in This Boy’s Life and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.

One of Leo’s most recognisable looks was in the 2000 film The Beach, which he appeared in as a 26-year-old.

The actor, who sported a noticably slimmer frame in those days, starred opposite Tilda Swinton in the flick about a traveller who goes to a beach in Thailand he believes will be paradise but is met by hostile inhabitants. 

A few years later, Leo had a more buff physique as he reunited with his Titanic co-star Kate Winslet in the film Revolutionary Road.

The A-list actors portrayed a middle-class married couple who become dissatisfied with their lives in the suburbs. 

Although the film made a moderate $76million at the box office, the performances of both Leo and Kate received wide praise.

Four years later, the film star looked dramatically different for his role in Quentin Tarantino’s Djano Unchained.

The actor played the owner of a slave plantation in the film and sported a long, scruffy beard and a thick mane of hair.

Only a year later in 2013, Leo was back to a more sleek look for one of the most memorable roles of his career: Jordan Barrett in The Wolf of Wall Street.

The Oscar-winning star sported a clean shaven look in the film along with a thick dark brown quiff.

Leo’s latest Apple TV+ film, Killers Of The Flower Moon, has received a high amount of praise and critical acclaim since its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

The film star cut a dapper figure on the red carpet, donning adark grey suit which he paired with a black shirt.

Project: Leo’s latest Apple TV+ film, Killers Of The Flower Moon, has received a high amount of praise and critical acclaim since its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May

The project is based on a 2017 nonfiction book titled, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, written by David Grann.

Some of the star-studded cast includes Leonardo, Robert De Niro, Brendan Fraser, Lily Gladstone, and also Jesse Plemons.

The premise follows, ‘Members of the Osage tribe in the United States are murdered under mysterious circumstances in the 1920s, sparking a major F.B.I. investigation involving J. Edgar Hoover,’ according to an IMDB synopsis.

After the screening of the film at Cannes, the project garnered a whopping nine-minute standing ovation, per Variety.

Director Martin Scorsese addressed the applauding crowd to express his gratitude and stated, ‘Thank you to the Osages. Everyone connected with the picture. 

‘My old pals Bob and Leo, and Jesse and Lily. We shot this a couple of years ago in Oklahoma. It’s taken its time to come around, but Apple did so great by us.’
