Hollywood heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio recently turned 51 but the actor revisited a familiar hairstyle circa his Titanic era.
The actor was spotted out with blonde highlights in his slicked back hair – a look that resembled Jack Dawson’s golden ‘do.
A glimpse of the golden streaks could be seen as Leonardo departed the Village East by Angelika movie theater following a screening of his latest hit film, One Battle After Another, on Sunday.
DiCaprio emerged from the theater with a beverage in hand, which he sipped as he made his way by fans.
The seasoned showbiz veteran opted for a not particularly flashy outfit, selecting an all-black look consisting of a coat, trousers, and glossy footwear.
In a departure from his usual look, DiCaprio also choose to show off his face – ditching the usual face mask and baseball he had been embracing as part of his public look.

It’s been nearly 30 years since DiCaprio portrayed third class passenger Jack Dawson on Titanic, a role that catapulted him to the stratosphere.
DiCaprio reflected on losing his anonymity due to the film in a 2016 interview with Deadline, where he was asked if the benefits of fame made being instantly recognizable worth it.
‘Before Titanic, I had no conception of what any of that meant. It was shocking. People said, “Do you realize how big of a movie this is?” I said, “Yeah, it’s big. It’s a big movie.” They’re like, “No. No. No, it’s the biggest movie ever,” and I’m like, “Well, what does that mean? So it’s big.” They’re like, “No. No. No, you don’t get it. You don’t understand what this means.” I thought, okay, great, it made a lot of money, and people are seeing it.’
What followed was a shift from his craft.
‘My whole life became about things that weren’t about acting,’ he said of what occurred after Titanic. ‘Titanic was very much an experiment for Kate Winslet and I. We’d done all of these independent movies. I loved her as an actress and she said, ‘Let’s do this together, we can do this.’
‘We did it, and it became something that we could’ve never foreseen,’ he said. ‘We never predicted that it would be what it was, and I said, “Okay, slow down. Let all this pass a little bit, and let’s get back to…find something that…I knew it was going to be an adjustment. I knew there was an expectation of me to do a certain thing at that point, and I knew I had to get back to what my intentions were from the onset. ‘
Titanic was centered on a teenager from a wealthy family who establishes a relationship with a working-class passenger on the passenger liner’s tragic voyage.

In addition to Winslet and DiCaprio, the movie also starred performers such as Billy Zane, Kathy Bates and Bill Paxton.
The feature became an instant hit with critics, and it currently holds a rating of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Titanic also grossed nearly $2 billion during its initial period of release, although it has since passed that mark after being rereleased on several occasions.
The movie also held the distinction of being the highest-grossing film of all time for several years, although it was ultimately passed by the 2009 science fiction film Avatar, which was also directed by Cameron.
Titanic was put up for a total of 14 Academy Awards and won 11, including Best Picture.
