On the September 24th episode of the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce, Leonardo DiCaprio and co-star Benicio del Toro shared some surprising stories about the actor’s early life and career. DiCaprio revealed that as a young boy, he used to breakdance on the streets to earn money.

The Titanic star also recalled how he almost had to change his name when he first got an agent. At the time, he was told to go by “Lenny Williams” because his real name was considered “too ethnic” and difficult for Hollywood casting directors. However, his father immediately rejected the idea, ripping up his headshots and declaring, “Over my dead body.”
During the podcast, the Inception actor also jokingly admitted that he doesn’t always perform his own stunts: “A lot of people ask me if I did them myself. I’m like, ‘Hell no, I didn’t fall off that roof. If I did, I wouldn’t be sitting here right now.’”

The episode also featured some lighthearted banter, with Travis praising his brother Jason’s saxophone performance with the Baltimore Ravens marching band over the weekend, calling it “badass” and “amazing.”
