Leonardo DiCaprio has said his "poor upbringing" helped him stay away from drugs and other temptations while growing up in Hollywood.
The 39-year-old actor has spoken out about how living in a rundown Hollywood neighbourhood as a child helped him make the right choices when faced with temptation.
Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, The Wolf of Wall Street actor said: "There was a major prostitution ring on my street corner, crime and violence everywhere.
"It really was like Taxi Driver in a lot of ways. I grew up very poor and I got to see the other side of the spectrum."
"I've never done drugs. That's because I saw this stuff literally every day when I was three or four years old.
"So Hollywood was a walk in the park for me. I'd go to parties and it was there, and yeah, there's that temptation."
