DiCaprio to take a break from acting

Los Angeles: After starring in three films back-to-back, Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio says he needs some time off.

The 38-year-old actor, who won rave reviews for his portrayal of a ruthless slave master in 'Django Unchained', said he will take a long break now, reported Radar online.

"I'm a little bit drained. I am now going to take a long, long break. I've done three films in two years and I'm just worn out," he said.

In addition to appearing in Quentin Tarantino's controversial hit, he has also just completed 'The Wolf of Wall Street' with director Martin Scorsese and Baz Luhrmann's upcoming movie 'The Great Gatsby'.

The actor said he will also try to do some good work related to environment.

"I would like to improve the world a bit. I will fly around the world doing good for the environment," he said.

"My roof is covered with solar panels. My car is electric. A normal person does not drive more than 50 kms (31 miles) a day. That can be done with a plug," he added.
