(NEXSTAR) — He may be one of Hollywood's most recognizable stars (not to mention an Academy Award winner), but Leonardo DiCaprio says he still has one regret in his decades-spanning career.

The "One Battle After Another" star recently sat for an hours-long Esquire interview with the film's director, Paul Thomas Anderson, to discuss his life and career. DiCaprio, 50, revealed the role he still wishes he'd taken, in an Anderson film — and the role he took instead.

“My biggest regret is not doing ‘Boogie Nights,'” DiCaprio told Anderson. “It was a profound movie of my generation. I can’t imagine anyone but Mark [Wahlberg] in it. When I finally got to see that movie, I just thought it was a masterpiece. It’s ironic that you’re the person asking that question [about regrets], but it’s true.”
