Religion information
Like many Catholics, Leonardo DiCaprio is not religious, but he is also not an atheist. According to some of his quotes, it seems like religion can do him some good. When Leonardo was dating a Bar Rafaeli, who is a Jew, it was alleged that he was supposed to convert to Judaism for their marriage to take place. However, Leonardo and Bar separated before that could happen.
Perhaps the fact that Leonardo is non-religious Catholic and the apparent willingness to convert to Judaism makes him spiritually flexible. Leonardo has ever entered a Buddhist center in Los Angeles for meditation, and some celebrity religion sites have listed him as a Buddhist.

Leonardo DiCaprio has donated to both President Obama’s 2008 and 2012 election campaigns and also several other candidates. This makes him a real Democrat. He also had some plans to host a fundraiser in his own house for Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton, but he was forced to pass the responsibility to Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake.
Dating profile
He has previously dated some famous actresses like Natasha Henstridge, Demi Moore, Kristen Zang, and Rihanna. In May 2016, Leonardo began dating Nina Agdal, who is a model.
