Leonardo DiCaprio wants marriage and kids

Leonardo DiCaprio admits: 'I want marriage and kids'

Leonardo DiCaprio has admitted that he is ready to get married and have children, after once proclaiming that he 'does not believe in marriage'.

The star, who once appeared to have had a romance bypass, confessing he felt 'few emotions' and had 'never been in love' has finally caved in to conventions and admitted he is ready for the traditional family set-up.

Speaking candidly in an interview with Parade magazine, DiCaprio admitted: 'I want to get married and have children. In saying that, I realize I am contradicting everything I've said before. I absolutely believe in marriage.'

In a complete turn around from his unromantic past, the 33-year-old actor, who has been linked to Israeli model Bar Refaeli for the last two years, went on to reveal: 'What I definitely feel a need for is to make my life about more than just my career. Just last night I was thinking to myself how little of my life has been lived normally and not spent on some far-off movie location.'

On his past declarations, denouncing romantic notions, DiCaprio backtracked saying: 'It sounds like the ignorance of youth to me. Hey, we grow up real fast.'

So ladies, now's your chance to pin down Mr DiCaprio – while he's feeling weak…
