Leonardo+DiCaprio,+Gabby+Douglas,+Taylor+Swift



Leonardo Dicaprio is an actor and has starred in many films. He was born on November 11, 1974 in Los Angeles California. His zodiac is Scorpio. He is well known for his good looks and edgy, unconventional roles. Leonardo started acting at age five. His parents got divorced when he was one year old and he was mainly raised by his mother in Germany where she worked. He has many famous quotes such as “Life’s a gift and I do not intend on wasting it” as said on the Titanic. He also said “When you have nothing what is there to lose”. Probably his least known quote is “I have just got to maintain my passion for what I do”, but it might be his most valuable. He was too busy with acting and did not go to college. Leonardo hates being submerged in water and loves free stuff even though he is extremely rich. He says that any other movie after he shot Titanic will be a piece of cake. His big break was in “This Boy’s Life.” Leonardo is truly an amazing guy! Information found on: [] [] "Never give up and always keep fighting because though times may be tough, the sacrifices do pay off, so just keep pushing towards your dream and just love it at the same time and enjoy it.” This quote is from the gymnast Gabrielle Douglas who eventually, because she persisted, became the first African American to win the individual all-around gold medal. She was born on December 31st 1995 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The Douglas family was not one of the richest families; her mother was single and struggling to pay their mortgage. Gabrielle began gymnastics at age three when her sister taught her how to do a cartwheel, but started formal gymnastics at age six. Two years later Douglas won the state championship. She moved away from her family and hometown at fourteen to train with Liang Chow, an Olympic trainer, and follow her dream. Though she missed her family and hometown, and people thought she wouldn't make it as a gymnast, Douglas' will to win pulled her through. Gabrielle worked very hard and persevered and eventually won two gold medals.

Swift was bullied all through elementary and junior high. When she was 11, Taylor and her family moved to Hendersonville, Tennessee, a town outside Nashville. Taylor would show up at record companies and give them demos. One day, a man named Scott Borchetta heard Taylor sing. After her performance he asked if she wanted to sign to his record company even though the company was not started yet. Swift waited though, she decided something about Borchetta made him worth waiting for. Now Taylor Swift is a famous country singer. Swift is the highest paid celebrity under 30 and she manages herself. If i was to interview her i would go to 242 West Main Street Hendersonville, Nashville 37075.
