Drug overdose death of co-actors horrified Leonardo DiCaprio

Hollywood actor Leonardo Dicaprio has said that he grew in a neighborhood that was filled with drug addicts and has since then never been tempted to dabble in drugs but the death of fellow actors River Phoenix & Heath Ledger has made him sterner to stay away.
He says he was shocked and terrified upon hearing the deaths and says, “I knew drugs were bad, even as a little kid. Seeing the effects that drugs had on my block, seeing heroin addicts, it made me think twice about ever getting involved in drugs. I was so horrified by what I saw drugs do to people that I never wanted anything to do with them. It’s evil. Once you take that step and experiment, drugs take over your life. You are not yourself any more. That’s something I never wanted.”
I don’t know about any deep crease between the eyes but I am seeing some FINE Leo! He is a hottie and great actor. I can’t wait to see the new movie Revoluntary Road. I was so glad he got another acting gig with Kate! They make a good team! Congrats to Kate on winning the Golden Globe.

It is so hard for people to know what to do when peers are lost by heroin and other overdoses. This is all so sad.
