Leo puts ‘breaks’ on acting

This could be Leonardo DiCaprio’s last awards season for a while. The superstar has announced he’s retiring from acting indefinitely.

“I’m a little bit drained,” he told the German newspaper Bild. “I am now going to take a long, long break.”

After doing three films — “Django Unchained,” “The Great Gatsby” and the recently finished “The Wolf of Wall Street” — in two years, DiCaprio says he’s “just worn out.”

Publicity tours for the films still loom, but DiCaprio, 38, has other plans for when his schedule slows down.

“I would like to improve the world a bit,” he said.

“I will fly around the world doing good for the environment.”

In the meantime, he’s living green at home.

“My roof is covered with solar panels,” he said. “My car is electric. A normal person does not drive more than [30 miles] a day. That can be done with a plug.”
