Leonardo DiCaprio, a well-known Hollywood actor, once sued ‘Playgirl’ magazine for planning to publish his private photos.

Despite being a heartthrob, DiCaprio was not impressed with the magazine’s idea of publishing his pictures.

The magazine, which was relaunched in 2020, had a history of drama, and DiCaprio’s lawsuit added to it.

As reported by Tampa Bay in 2005, in 1998, ‘Playgirl’ planned to publish DiCaprio’s private photos, which he found offensive and objectionable.

At the time, DiCaprio was only 23 and had a massive fan following, making it overwhelming for him to keep a low profile.

He sought an injunction and sued the magazine to prevent them from publishing his photos.

The photos were said to have a full frontal view of the unclothed actor, and the editor-in-chief at the time resigned in protest over the magazine’s plans.

She stated that it went against her ethics and that she didn’t want to be associated with such a move.

However, the executives of ‘Playgirl’ claimed that she was fired, and they did not confirm the plans to publish Leo’s photos.

Although the lawsuit sought unspecified damages, it was settled almost immediately for an unknown amount.

After the lawsuit, DiCaprio managed to avoid further drama in terms of revealing photographs.

However, he has had plenty of interesting headlines written about him, including his string of model girlfriends, which may have ended with his current love interest, Camila Morrone.

Despite being known as a playboy, DiCaprio has not been thrilled with being one of the most sought-after celebrities out there.

While ‘Playgirl’ may have thought that printing photos of him would boost their readership, DiCaprio did not want his private photos to be published.

As a result, he took the matter to court and sued the magazine.

DiCaprio’s lawsuit against ‘Playgirl’ magazine occurred many years ago, but it is still remembered.

His reputation as a heartthrob has not diminished over the years, and fans still remember his iconic roles in films such as ‘Titanic’ and many others.

In recent years, DiCaprio has been more focused on environmental activism and has used his celebrity status to raise awareness about climate change.

He has also continued to act in films and has received critical acclaim for his roles.
