Leonardo DiCaprio wanted to quit acting after he rose to fame as a heartthrob in hit love story ''Titanic.''
The 32-year-old actor hated being considered just "another piece of cute meat" after the film's box office success.
DiCaprio told Newsweek magazine: "It was pretty disheartening to be objectified like that. I wanted to stop acting for a little bit."
"It changed my life in a lot of ways, but at the same time, I can't say that it didn't give me opportunities. It made me, for the first time, in control of my career."
The "Aviator" star - who was nominated twice for the Best Actor Golden Globe for his roles in "The Departed" and "The Blood Diamond" - has confessed he loves acting more than anything else.
He said: "There's no other art form in the world that affects me more. There's nothing that I walk away from feeling transformed by the way I do with cinema."
