Leonardo DiCaprio has been keeping busy the last few year shooting and promoting films such as Inception, J. Edgar and Django Unchained, and he says he needs a break.

DiCaprio, 38, who will be seen later this year in Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby and the movie The Wolf of Wall Street, tells the German newspaper Bild that he’s walking away from acting for awhile. “I’m a bit drained. I’m now going to take a long, long, break," DiCaprio says, adding, "I’ve done three films in two years and I’m just worn out.”

What will he do with all  his downtime?  He says he'd like to fly around the world “doing good for the environment.” DiCaprio is an active environmentalist who drives an electric car and powers his home with solar panels.

I sure hope his break doesn't turn into a forever kinda thing.  He's too good an actor to give it up completely!
