Daniil Medvedev reveals deepest desires to meet Leonardo DiCaprio for unapologetic life advices and keeping 'unnecessary people' away
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

Russian tennis ace Daniil Medvedev sat down for an interview with a renowned media outlet in the country, where he talked about a range of things. 

Medvedev answered each and every question in detail, and when he was asked to name a personality he would like to meet outside the sporting sphere, the Russian was quick to pick Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio

Medvedev said that whenever he gets a chance to meet DiCaprio, he wants to talk to the actor about how he keeps unnecessary people away. The Russian seemed impressed with the way DiCaprio approached his life. Medvedev said that he wants to understand how he avoids communication with people he deems unnecessary.

Although Medvedev was hesitant at first to answer the question, the tennis ace was finally named DiCaprio. But in the sporting sphere, Medvedev said that he does not want to reveal who he is friends with. 

I can't name just one person in the world of sports. I like communicating with athletes from other disciplines. I'm friends with some people, sometimes I can just correspond and talk with others. It's interesting to discuss how it is with them and how it is with us...With completely different people. But I won't talk to whom exactly. Daniil Medvedev said about his friends in the sporting sphere. (H/T: Sport Express)

He then talked about his eagerness to meet DiCaprio and talked to him about his approach to life.

And if we talk about people from other spheres… In principle, I really like Leonardo DiCaprio's approach to life - based on what I've heard about it, of course. He does not want to communicate with any people whom he considers unnecessary. This really appeals to me, and I would love to talk to him about it someday. Daniil Medvedev said.

Daniil Medvedev talks about his frank personality

While Daniil Medvedev is eager to take some advice from Leonardo DiCaprio on how to handle unnecessary people, the Russian is really good at having a jovial personality. The 28-year-old tries to stay frank during press conferences and answer questions with the utmost honesty. 

Medvedev talked about this personality trait and explained why he is like that. When he was asked how he manages to stay frank despite these strict rules on player behavior and what they must adhere to, Medvedev said that his honesty helps him maintain that.

I don't really like to talk about my personal life. If it's normal for me to answer something, I'll answer it. If not, I'll just skip the question. It's easier for me to do this than to lie about something every time. Because it's very easy to lie if you say different things every two days. So I try to either be frank or say nothing. Daniil Medvedev said.

Notably, Medvedev is known for his witty remarks and to-the-point answers. The Russian ace also never shies away from denying to answer a question. Moreover, Medvedev’s on-court interviews are also nothing short of comedy shows.
