  LEONARDO DICAPRIO 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Leonardo DiCaprio is an American actor and film producer known for his work in biographical and period films. His career began in the late 1980s, with early roles in television before his film debut in 1991. He received critical acclaim for his role in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) and achieved international stardom with Titanic (1997). DiCaprio sought roles in other genres to shed his romantic hero image, including Catch Me If You Can (2002) and Gangs of New York (2002). He founded Appian Way Productions in 2004. He is also an active environmentalist and was designated a United Nations Messenger of Peace in 2014. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Leonardo DiCaprio's parents met in college and moved to Los Angeles after graduating. His mother is German, and his father is of Italian and German descent. 
    
  As a child, DiCaprio wanted to be either a marine biologist or an actor, eventually choosing acting because he liked imitating people and seeing their reactions. He was also motivated to learn acting when another child actor earned $50,000 from a commercial. 
    
  DiCaprio has said his first television appearance was on the children's series Romper Room, where he claims he was dismissed for being disruptive, though the show's host has denied this. At age 11, he almost quit acting to pursue breakdancing, having taken second place in a competition in his mother's native Germany. 
    
  Early in his career, DiCaprio's agent suggested he change his name to Lenny Williams to appeal to American audiences, but he refused. He remained jobless for a year and a half, even after 100 auditions, and almost quit acting before his father encouraged him to persevere.

  Lacan Sucks and So Do You - A...

  What if your political identity, your core beliefs, and even your taste in snack food weren’t really yours? What if they were built out of language, hijacked by desire, and quietly manipulated by slogans, myths, and a Symbolic Order you didn’t ask to be born into? 
  Welcome to the world of Jacques Lacan, where nothing means what it seems, and everything is your unconscious acting out. 
  Lacan Sucks is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly accurate guide to Lacan’s theory of language, power, and why you keep voting against your own interests. From signifiers that never shut up to unconscious desires that vote without you, this book breaks down how politics doesn’t just use language—it is language. 
  Through roast-level commentary, existential side-eye, and actual philosophical insight (yes, really), this book unpacks: 
  How language doesn’t reflect reality—it constructs it 
  Why you’re not an individual, you’re a pre-written script with anxiety 
  How politicians weaponize your desires with slogans and symbols 
  What the hell Lacan meant by “the unconscious is structured like a language” 
  And how to fight back using the one weapon they fear: your own damn voice 
  If you’ve ever felt manipulated by political discourse, confused by your own identity, or just wanted to scream into a pillow while reading Écrits, this is the book for you. 
  No degree in psychoanalysis or philosophy required. Just a sense of humor and a lingering suspicion that reality might be rigged.

  Saki's Cats

  Saki's Cats rounds up the tales about cats, big and small, by the undisputed master of the short story.
  'Tobermory', one of Saki's most famous pieces, demonstrates the danger that would ensue from granting cats the power of speech – animals have long lurked unseen, eavesdropping, in the background. The tom in 'The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat' is the only one to enjoy his meal, as is the leopard in 'The Guests'. In 'The Penance' and 'Mrs Packletide's Tiger', hunters who put cats in their sights are humiliated and blackmailed. 'The Achievement of the Cat' considers how cats have come to be served by the human race.
  In addition to the short stories about cats, Saki's Cats also collects Saki's juvenile letters to his sister Ethel about the tiger cub he adopted while living in Burma.
  The feisty felines of these tales are the only clear winners, and, with a characteristic smirk and dash of his pen, it is Edwardian Society that Saki sends slinking off, tail between its legs.
