London, March 15 (IANS) Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio has revealed the huge success of his 1997 starrer 'Titanic' made him feel devastated so much so he wanted to stop acting.

'At first I hated the way I was turned into a pretty boy, as if that was all that was expected of me. It made me almost want to stop acting for a while because the attention that was focused on me was not where I wanted to take my career,' he said, reports mirror.co.uk.

'I didn't want to do romantic films or anything which just exploited my image or appearance. I also kind of had to be more careful about the friends I was hanging out with. I was living a pretty big life for a while and then that just gets tiresome,' he added.

The actor lives a more quiet life now.

'You get all the partying out of your system, so I live much more quietly these days. I haven't done the nightclub scene in a long, long time. It's boring, to tell you the truth,' he said.
