In a world where pop stars release greatest hits compilations after two or three albums, it should not be completely overwhelming to see young men receive accolades for their 'body of work.'
Still, after receiving the Lifetime Achievement award at the Santa Barbara, California's International Film Festival on Sunday, Leonardo DiCaprio is quite taken aback.
The Aviator star is quite justifiable in his reaction: he's only 30.
At the film event's 20th anniversary, festival director Roger Durling cited the actor for his 'exceptional career,' reports IMDb.
DiCaprio still can't stop reeling. He says, 'It's a Lifetime Achievement Award, which is completely and utterly surreal, given I'm only 30 years old.'
'But, you know, it's been almost 17 years now. I've done quite a few films. But what's really exciting, for me, is that this is what I really love doing. It's what I want to do for the rest of my life."
Here's many more lifetimes to you, Leo.
