    Leonardo DiCaprio has revealed he plans to leave Hollywood and do environmental work

    Lenoardo DiCaprio isn’t one to shy away from hard work, having filmed three intense, and big-budget, movies back-to-back, but he wants to take a break from acting and is ready to enjoy a brief hiatus from Hollywood.

    AMANDA SEYFRIED: I WAS IN LOVE WITH LEONARDO DICAPRIO

    After starring in Django Unchained, The Great Gatsby and The Wolf of Wall Street, he thinks it’s time to shun the celebrity life and do charity work instead. Leonardo told German newspaper, Bild: ‘I am a bit drained. I'm going to take a long, long break. I've done three films in two years and I'm just worn out.'

    A hectic filming schedule has also meant Leonardo is away from his LA home and he’s more than ready to move back in. He said: ‘I love to have friends over, but I haven't really been home for a year and a half so I don't even remember the last time I did that.

I will fly around the world doing good for the environment. My roof is covered with solar panels.

    'My car is electric. A normal person does not drive more than 50 kilometres (31 miles) a day. That can be done with a plug.'
