Leo Speaks Fluent German

Leo’s mother was born in Germany, and her heritage has always been extremely important to her. For that reason, she taught her son to speak her native German language early on in life. His parents were divorced when he was very young, so he grew up mostly with his mother and German grandmother.

Leo and his mother are very close. In fact, she’s often seen on the red carpet alongside him. Their ongoing closeness combined with his upbringing have made the language an important part of who he is.
