LEONARDO DiCAPRIO has no plans to ditch acting for college because he gets all the education he needs preparing for new film roles.

The TITANIC actor has boosted his brain-power over the years through thorough research, gaining a new area of expertise every time accepts a role.

He tells Empire magazine, “Every movie I do – like GANGS OF NEW YORK and THE AVIATOR – is like taking a college course on that subject matter, and each time I’ve gotten involved with these movies it’s been like a giant tutorial.

“You have to be a detective and you have to investigate. You have to be a historian in that regard, so, yeah, it’s like taking courses, which is great, ’cause I never went to college.”
