A video of young Leonardo DiCaprio in a cheese advert has resurfaced and it's amazing

All he wanted was a sandwich...

It's hard to believe that the actor, sex symbol and Oscar winner (eventually) we all know and love was once an awkward kid trying to break into the big bad world of showbiz.

Buut yes, once upon a time Leonardo DiCaprio was begging his on-screen mum for a slice of cheese.

Far from the romantic hero we all know and love from Romeo and Juliet, Titanic and the Great Gatsby, in the advert Leo is just trying to get a slice of fat-free cheese for his sandwich that his Mum wants to "keep for Daddy". Um...

Yep, this little kid grew up to be the Wolf of Wall Street.

There's hope for us all.
