LEONARDO DICAPRIO ON HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS

Leonardo DiCaprio

Sexy star Leonardo DiCaprio says he understands the struggle some Hollywood legends face when their careers start to go down hill, and is insisting it is very easy for stars to become detached from reality. Leonardo became one of Hollywood's hottest leading men after starring in James Cameron's record breaking "Titanic," and has proved to be a hit at the box office ever since. But DiCaprio doesn't take his popularity for granted, insisting he can see how stars become "nuts" after falling for their own hype. He tells "Access Hollywood," "Just because you've done a good performance once, doesn't mean you're always going to be good. That's why some of the greatest actors in the world have gone a little bit nuts. They're saying to themselves, 'What happened? You used to love me?' "It's an easy trap to fall into. You just have to realize that when you're hot, you're hot, and when you're not, you're not."
