'I believe'



In a People magazine interview actor Leonardo DiCaprio, 33, said he has no plans at the moment to settle down and start a family. He has been involved with Israeli model Bar Refaeli, 10 years his junior, recently.

Once having said he doesn't believe in marriage, DiCaprio, who also is featured in this coming Sunday's Parade magazine in The Meridian Star, said he DOES believe in marriage after all.

"It sounds like the ignorance of youth to me," DiCaprio said in Parade of his previous stance on marriage. "When did I say that? Three of four years ago? Hey, we grow up real fast."

Watch for DiCaprio's new movie, "Body Of Lies," co-starring Russell Crowe, to be released Oct. 10.
