Leonardo DiCaprio has reportedly shut himself down as he fears one wrong move could end his career.
Insiders told Radar Online that the Titanic star has adopted Howard Hughes-Style existence.
The source said, "Leo is settled now with his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, but he still loves partying with pals. He hasn't been doing anything wrong, but he now has a genuine fear of people filming him and saying something off-color that could be interpreted the wrong way"
They went on to add that DiCaprio "hates" the current cancel culture.
"He hates cancel culture and what it has done to some of his colleagues, and he is now doing everything he can to reduce any risk of him being caught in a trap, like being secretly filmed at a party sharing what some may see as controversial views or stories that don't fit with 'woke' culture," the source stated. "It's the type of sad impact cancel culture is having, but it is one he is having to accept out of quite justifiable paranoia that comes with his status and level of fame. He feels he has to literally sink himself into reclusiveness."
As per the insider, DiCaprio is "far too valuable to the box office to be cancelled" therefore "it's as much about his career and business as it is about maintaining his personal brand and avoiding scandal."
On the professional front, Leonardo DiCaprio is set to work on Martin Scorsese's What Happens at Night with its production scheduled to begin in January 2026 and he is also confirmed for the role in Michael Mann's Heat 2.
