Leonardo DiCaprio has revealed the 'biggest regret' he has from his career in an honest admission.
The Academy Award winner, 50, has starred in some of Hollywood's biggest hits, from Titanic to The Wolf Of Wall Street - but there's one job he regrets turning down.
Speaking to Variety, Leo revealed that the movie he had to back out of was Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights.
Leo had to pass on starring in the 1997 film because he was already signed on to play Jack Dawson in Titanic.
Instead, Mark Wahlberg took on the role of Eddie Adams in Boogie Nights - which was nominated for three Oscars and deemed one of the best films of all time by Variety. Meanwhile Titanic was nominated for 14 Academy Awards and won 11.
Leo said: 'I'll say it even though you're here: My biggest regret is not doing Boogie Nights, it was a profound movie of my generation.
'I can't imagine anyone but Mark in it. When I finally got to see that movie, I just thought it was a masterpiece.'
The actor told GQ in 2008 that he wished he could have done both films but was forced to choose.
It comes after Leo hinted he has finally settled down with his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti in a new interview, after making some changes in his life since entering his fifties.
The star, known for his lothario lifestyle, has always hit headlines with his relationships with model women all under the age of 25.
Ever since he burst onto the big screen in the early 1990s, Leonardo has dated a never-ending conveyor belt of glamorous models and actresses, including Gigi Hadid, Gisele Bündchen and Bar Refaeli.
Vittoria has seemingly broke Leo's rule of strictly dating women under the age of 25, as the pair's relationship continues to blossom.
In a rare new interview with Esquire UK, Leonardo declared he is living by the new rules of always being 'honest' and more 'upfront' because he has 'no time to waste' at his age - which has been inspired by his beloved mother Irmelin Indenbirken, 82.
Leo reflected on how there is 'much more life behind him now' than there is ahead of him as he discussed is expectations for the coming decades.
Speaking in the unfiltered interview, Leo said: 'Turning 50 creates a feeling like you have a desire to just be more honest and not waste your time.
'I can only imagine how the next few decades are going to progress.
'I look at my mother, for example, and she just says exactly what she thinks and wastes no time. She spends no time trying to fake it.'
Before Vittoria, he famously split from Camila Morrone after five years together in 2022, just a month after she turned 25.
Detailing the importance of saying exactly how you feel, he explained: 'Being more upfront and risking having things fall apart or risking the disagreements or risking going your separate ways from any type of relationship in life.
'The personal, the professional — it's that you don't want to waste your time any more.
'You have to just be much more upfront. It's almost a responsibility, because much more of your life is behind you than it is ahead of you.'
Leo famously dated model Gisele for five years starting when she was 18, to a five-year romance with Bar Refaeli that ended when she turned 25.
The Hollywood star had also been linked to model Gigi after they fuelled romance speculation in September 2022.
He was first linked to the model just weeks after his split from then-girlfriend Camila Morrone.
But rumours were quickly squashed in February 2023, as a source told DailyMail.com, 'Leo is very single right now and he is not keen on the hype suggesting that he is seeking out these very young women.'
