9 celebs whose parents are not ordinary people

Leonardo DiCaprio

Oscar-winning Leo was named after Leonardo da Vinci. The father of the future star decided that this is a sign when the baby pushed near the painting of the artist while walking with his wife at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

Irmeline DiCaprio was a social worker, and George was an adherent of hippy ideas and a fairly well-known author of comic books, often obscene.

According to Leonardo DiCaprio, although his father left the family almost immediately after the birth of the child, his relationship with his son did not suffer from it. To this day, Leo is close to his mother and father, and George participated in the formation of his son’s career. “My father still draws his comics in the garage, lives according to the laws of the 60’s and reads my scripts, forwarding to me those which are worthy of attention,” Leo says.

DiCaprio also has good relationships with his stepmother, Peggy DiCaprio. The actor’s father married her when Leo was 4 years old, and she actively participated in his upbringing. Today Peggy professes Sikhism and in all official events of his stepson appears in a turban.
