While the rest of us mostly think of Leonardo from TMNT. |

Those 4 names only make me think of the TMNT. Hell if you ask someone who Michelangelo(the sistine chapel guy) was, SOMEONE is bound to make the old joke "one of the Ninja Turtles right?" |

Not sure about over there, but he's STILL a pretty big name star here. The Ocean's movies and others in recent years have kept his name pretty well-known. I hate to say it guys, but outside of us big Turtle fans, most people are more likely to think of either the artist or the actor with a name like Leo. Maybe a few would think of the turtle if they remember the cartoons, but most won't.

If you mean those Ocean 11 movies with Brad Pitt/George Clooney, that's Matt Damon in those movies, not Leonardo.
Leonardo Dicaprio's two recent big movies was "The Revenant" where he was stranded in a blizzard snowstorm and had to survive, and he was in Django Unchained a Quentin Tarantino movie. He's still in a lot of movies these days. It's kind of ironic though to consider someone like Leonardo Dicaprio "not a big star" anymore, given how huge Titanic was. Probably the biggest movie of the 90's. Man, the young kids of today born in the 2000's don't know anything about old stars. |

As for me thinking of the Ninja Turtles when the name "Leonardo" pops up... well that's obviously because I am a Ninja Turtle fan. It'd be odd if I didn't associate the name with the Ninja Turtle. I don't really follow DiCaprio's career, so it's not like he's on my mind often. |

Eh, ultimately I think the inventor/painter, mutant ninja, and actor are probably the top three famous guys that would come to mind for most. Enough that I've off and on come across things where one of the three was mentioned and it was clarified that they didn't mean one or both of the other two.
I hunted down a few gems for the fun of it... Quote:
