When asked by Anderson — who interviewed DiCaprio for the outlet while promoting their upcoming film, One Battle After Another — if he has any regrets over his 35+ years in the entertainment industry, the actor doesn't hold back his truth "even though you're here."

The most interesting stuff, from a historical counterfactuals point of view, pops up early, when Anderson opens by asking DiCaprio if he has any big regrets, and immediately gets back “not doing Boogie Nights ” in response.

Leonardo DiCaprio got interviewed by his “One Battle After Another” director Paul Thomas Anderson for the actor’s latest Esquire magazine cover story and revealed that his biggest career regret is turning down Anderson’s “Boogie Nights” offer nearly 30 years ago.
