He has been tipped for long overdue Oscar success for his role in The Revenant.
And as film buffs gush over Leonardo Di Caprio's performance in the grisly film, it seems the star is basking in the spotlight.
Appearing on the cover of GQ Australia this month, the actor is every inch the leading man in a sharp grey suit and white shirt.
Staring confidently down the camera lens, he appears sitting on a stool on the most recent issue of the magazine.
Beneath his portrait reads the tag line: 'Oscar hunting with the enigmatic actor,' a nod to an accompanying interview in the publication.
The cover's release comes as the 41-year-old was named among nominees for Best Actor at the 88th Academy Awards.
He has been nominated for his role in Alejandro Iñárritu's film The Revenant in which he plays frontiersman Hugh Glass in the 1820s.
The film, which has been put up for Best Motion Picture, is among the most talked-about of the year with Di Caprio previously telling of the challenges he endured while filming.
The actor went to extreme lengths to deliver an authentic performance, eating raw bison liver and folding himself naked in to the carcass of a dead horse.
Speaking of the project last year, Di Caprio described it as among the most challenging of his career.
'There's no crew member or actor in this movie that wouldn't feel like this was a gigantic endurance test.
'We all knew what we were signing up for, we were submerging ourselves in the elements and on locations that were logistically very difficult to get to, the weather was a constant challenge and we were working in sub-zero temperatures.'
It is the star's fourth Oscar nomination, with fans and film enthusiasts fervently hopeful that he will be given the prestigious award next month.
