Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio has revealed he was once told by an agent to change his name to Lenny Williams as his was “too ethnic”. “ I was 11-year-old when I first wanted to be an actor professionally. We went to an agent and they wanted to change my name to Lenny Williams. They felt my name was too ethnic and I wouldn’t get as many jobs. So that thwarted me from being an actor for a number of years. I tried again two years later when I was 13 and got an agent to accept me with my name,” said the actor.
