Hollywood’s star actor Leonardo Dicaprio revealed some personal insight about his family during a recent interview with the Time magazine. The Hollywood actor surprised everyone when he shared some personal details about his stepmother and his father.
The Inception actor said, “My stepmother is a Sikh. My father is from the sort of hippie counterculture and grew up in San Francisco in Los Angeles. He hung out with a lot of the underground art movement in the Los Angeles of the 70s.”
The actor’s stepmother, Peggy Dicaprio, is an Amritdhari Sikh, who wears a turban and Indian tradition attires sometimes. According to reports, Peggy embraced Sikhism years ago but started wearing the turban recently.
She married George Dicaprio in 1995 and has a son, Adam Farrar, who is Leonardo’s stepbrother. Earlier, Leonardo’s father George was married to Leonardo’s mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, whom he divorced when the actor was just one year old.
In addition to his personal insights, Leonardo Dicaprio’s career has been marked by his long-awaited Oscar win.
