In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Leonardo DiCaprio claimed that despite "temptation," he has never indulged in drugs.

He stated: "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. Hollywood is a very volatile place where artists come in and they essentially say they want to belong."
