Leonardo DiCaprio has revealed that he is thinking of starting a family.

The 'Titanic' star admitted that the need has grown after the passing of his grandmother.

"I definitely feel a need to make my life about more than just my career. I was thinking to myself how little of it has been lived normally as opposed to being spent on some far-off movie location," the Mirror quoted him as saying.

He added: "Family is something I'm starting to think about more and more, especially now that my grandmother is no longer around.

"It makes you think about the impermanence of things and how important it is to be part of a family - to have some meaning apart from your work."

DiCaprio's new film 'Shutter Island' is set to release soon. (ANI)
