Actor Leonardo DiCaprio has revealed that he was asked to change his name when he first began acting.
According to Shortlist, the 'Inception' star said: "When I was 11-years-old, when I first wanted to be an actor professionally, we went to an agent and they wanted to change my name to Lenny Williams.
"They felt my name was too ethnic and I wouldn't get as many jobs.
"So that thwarted me from being an actor for a number of years. I tried again two years later when I was 13 and got an agent to accept me with my name."
