Watched any DiCaprio's film?
If talking about those he's produced, no. As far as those he's acted in, I've seen Romeo + Juliet, Titanic and Django Unchained. Romeo + Juliet felt completely out of place with its dialogue as the choice of making it the Shakespearean English of the original work whilst giving it a modern setting caused the film to be completely immersion breaking and make little sense, even though the original work is a decent romantic tragedy. Titanic is overall an average film with a fair few highs and lows, with little complete strong points to place it any higher beyond the budget. Django Unchained is a decent satire of the Blacksploitation films of the 70s, though doesn't have much going for it beyond that and some good dialogue.

Very. It doesn't take too many risks when it comes to breaking narrative trends, but that ends up being its strength in displaying traditional ideas and doing them well. There's still a few problems it has such as a certain resolve hax, a small build up without a real payoff and Hokuto Shinken functioning as a bit of a swiss army plot device, but none of the flaws are overblown to the egregious extent of most other Shonen. As for the positives, the characters all have interlinked history with each other to make for good character driven conflict, several characters are well developed, the setting is bleak enough for the themes of love to actually be relevant within it and despite using some Shonen tropes, many aspects of it can seem different from the Shonen of today. Its protagonist is mature in his actions and merciless to his enemies, as well as being close to his peak of skill by the start. Many characters die, ranging from children to main characters. The power inflation is never to the extent previous top tiers become total fodder and skill does play a fair role in many battles. From those alone and far less negatives than positives, it's easily one of the best Shonen out there, definitely top 5 Shonen material.
That's as long as you ignore the post-timeskip material that retcons a lot of events and even introduces a chosen one trope, so best to stop reading after chapter 137. Unlike something such as say, One Piece, the end of part 1 leaves no major plot points unresolved, so you'll get a complete story from that material.

Do you like Joseph Joestar?
Yeah. Joseph was a definite improvement on Jonathan, even more so when propping them up as comparisons. His uncouth yet strategic nature make him both more engaging and entertaining than his grandfather and seeing him mature through Part 2, as well as become a group leader in Part 3, make for an interesting character arc for him.
Not all about him is great though. Compared to a later JoJo such as Josuke, some of his strategies do seem quite loose or lacking in comprehensible planning to the point some of them come off as plot armour. Also, Part 3 Joseph was fairly underutilised in the plot, which was quite disappointing. Nevertheless, as a mix of the stern and snarky personalities of various 80s action heroes with a decent arc and his maturing into a flawed but lovable mentor figure, he's easily a great protagonist by Shonen standards and one of the best JoJos, probably third only to Johnny and Jolyne.
7/10
? He's the GOAT, obviously.
