Didn't it seem for a while like Leonardo DiCaprio might never grow up? The actor will turn 40 this year, but for most of his career, DiCaprio looked not just youthful but positively teenaged:
In films like 2004's The Aviator, where the actor had to be aged up to play Howard Hughes as a bearded, fortysomething recluse, DiCaprio still looked for all the world like a baby-faced freshman spirit-gumming a fake beard onto his cheeks for the big high-school play.
Eventually, those Tiger Beat looks seemed like more of a curse than a blessing — you had to wonder whether DiCaprio's appearance would ever catch up to his increasingly mature taste in projects — but somewhere along the line, the spell was apparently broken: Early on in The Wolf of Wall Street, when DiCaprio's wannabe stockbroker mentions that he's just 22 years old, I actually found myself unable to buy it.
(Did you ever think you'd see the day when Leonardo DiCaprio couldn't play 22 convincingly? I figured he'd be cast as jailbait all the way into his Lifetime Achievement years.) When, exactly, did the once-ageless Leo go from twink to twunk? Let's examine the following timeline of pictorial evidence and see if we can't figure it out together.
