AceShowbiz - Leonardo DiCaprio leaves open the possibility of starting a family and having kids. When the actor of "The Revenant" is asked in an interview for the February issue of Rolling Stone magazine if he has time for starting a family, he says, "If it happens, it happens."
"Do you mean do I want to bring children into a world like this? If it happens, it happens," the 41-year-old actor tells the magazine. However, Leo doesn't want to talk further about it. "I'd prefer not to get into specifics about it, just because then it becomes something that is misquoted. But yeah. I don't know. To articulate how I feel about it is just gonna be misunderstood," says the actor.
During the interview with the magazine, Leo reveals he recently escaped death again. When Leo and Fisher Stevens were filming in the Galapagos Islands, Leo went scuba diving. During the scuba diving expedition, his air tank stopped working. The actor began to panic as he was in need of oxygen. Luckily, Edward Norton, who was also diving nearby, came and shared his tank with him. Both of them then slowly swam to the surface.
The "Inception" actor previously opened up about his near-death experiences. "If a cat has nine lives, I think I've used a few," he joked. "My friends have named me the person they least want to do extreme adventures with, because I always seem to be very close to being part of a disaster." His near-death experiences included an encounter with a shark, an explosion of a plane's giant turbine and a skydiving incident.
