Leonardo DiCaprio is revered as one of the best and most prolific actors of his generation.
He recently won a Golden Globe for his performance in The Revenant and is a big contender for an Oscar at the upcoming Academy Awards.
But this level of success could never have happened had he pursued his other talent: break-dancing.

The Inception star told Oprah Winfrey back in 2004: "Now, don't ask me to break-dance because I've since lost my moves, but I was a break-dancer, and I had, you know, a choppy, sort of punky haircut."
Known as "Noodle", DiCaprio managed to come in 2nd at one German competition.
"That's from way, way back when I was a little kid, in my pop-locking days."
The media treatment he got following the mammoth success of Titanic also disillusioned him from showbiz, however he chose not to return to that B-boy life.

He told Oprah: "It was pretty disheartening to be objectified like that, I wanted to stop acting for a little bit.
"It changed my life in a lot of ways, but at the same time, I can't say that it didn't give me opportunities. It made me, for the first time, in control of my career."
It was probably a wise move, sticking to the whole megastar acting thing. The break-dancing job market is unpredictable at best.
