Leonardo DiCaprio shocked fans with his dramatic weight loss in Malibu – here's a look back at the Hollywood veteran’s transformation over the years.
Pictures recently went viral after the Titanic star seemingly ditched his dad bod in favour of a more slimline figure – cutting down the pounds.
The 47-year-old was snapped in a dressed-down look as he strolled the sunny streets while rocking a plain black t-shirt, some beige cargo shorts, and a pair of white trainers.
He looked almost unrecognisable as he topped off the chic yet casual look with a beige baseball cap and some oversized sunglasses.
The movie star has been photographed living it up on vacation in various tropical locations in recent months - and it seems as though Leo has dropped a substantial amount of weight.
1989
Snaps from over the years highlight his dramatic transformation and early pictures show a young slim Leo – sporting light blonde locks in his signature curtains style.
Pictured in 1989, Leo smiled for the camera while wearing a very bright out-there shirt. He was already well established in the industry at this point.
Born in Hollywood in 1974, he had already picked up his first roles in the late 1970s and 80s in Romper Room and Friends and The New Lassie.
1999
Ten years later, Leo appears in photographs taken on the Thai island of Ko Phi Phi Le as he shoots Danny Boyle’s ‘The Beach’ which was released in 2000.
In his mid 20s at the time, DiCaprio scrapped his curtains and opted for a more youthful spikey hair cut and kept his athletic physique.
He looked completely different from his early days in acting and his dramatic transformation was even the feature point of the infamous film’s cover.
It received terrible reviews and Leo was even nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor after starring in the flick.
2008
Almost another decade later and Leo changed up his hair yet again, opting for a now more mature look – sweeping it over to one side.
It was that year he starred in American spy thriller Body of Lies alongside Russell Crowe – set in the Middle East, it follows the attempts of the CIA and the GID of Jordan to catch "al-Saleem".
At the movie’s premiere Leo cut a classy figure with his more mature hairstyle, keeping it simple in navy blue V-neck jumper and a pair of tight striped suit trousers.
2015
It was only seven years later that DiCaprio really changed-up his appearance again – now sporting a giant Viking-style beard and slicked-back hair.
He was pictured in Saint-Tropez at The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation’s second annual gala – an organisation set up to “bring attention and funding to the protection of biodiversity, ocean and forest conservation, and climate change”.
Now in his early 40s, he couldn’t look further from his former self in The Beach snaps from 1999 – cutting a sophisticated figure in a fitted blue suit.
2020
Half a decade later and Leo had ditched the long beard, opting for stubble instead.
His facial hair isn’t the only thing that had changed after pictures taken on the beach St Barts show Leo carrying an extra bit of weight – now sporting a full-on dad bod.
The less than flattering pictures show the film star on a holiday with his Argentinian-American model girlfriend Camila Morron.
Then 45-years old, he looked happy and relaxed as he took to the waters with a little swim with his 22-year-old partner as the pair rode the Caribbean waves together.
2022
Just two years later and after many tropical holidays together, Leo was pictured just days ago and has seemingly shed away his dad bod.
Looking slimmer than ever, the now 47-year-old looked as slim as his early acting days in 1989 as he stepped out for a solo walk in Malibu.
“He’s looking really good,” said one fan as he kept it casual in California.
After years of dramatic body transformations and hair cut switch-ups – it is hard to predict what DiCaprio will look like in another 10 years' time when he’s in his 50s.
