Leonardo DiCaprio did not star in a "TV version" of any Shakespeare play. He starred in Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film Romeo+Juliet, opposite Claire Danes, which was released in theatres long before it was ever seen on TV. Romeo and Juliet has been produced at least five times specifically for TV, so it doesn't make sense to talk about "the TV version" of this play.
The modern version of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was directed by Baz Luhrmann. The film was released in 1996 and starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes in the lead roles.
Leonardo DiCaprio as Romeo, Claire Danes as Juliet.
Leonardo diCaprio, who starred in the movie Titanic, also played Romeo in a film version of Romeo and Juliet (1996).
It wasn't
In the 1996 version of the play, Romeo was played by Leonardo diCaprio, who is certainly a famous actor. The 1968 version, also a blockbuster in its time, starred the not very famous Leonard Whiting in the role. The version from 1936, again a blockbuster in its time, starred a much more famous Leslie Howard as Romeo.
Romeo and Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Clare Danes
Im my opinion, the best movie EVER is Titanic, the 1997 version with Leonardo DiCaprio and kate winslet.
If you're talking about the 1998 version with Leonardo DiCaprio, it's not very good at all. In fact, it's pretty darn bad. If you're asking about the 1939 version, then, I don't know, as I haven't seen it.
Leonardo DiCaprio was 22-23 filming Titanic.22-23 years old.

Olivia Hussey plays Juliet in Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 movie of Romeo and Juliet. Claire Danes played her in the 1996 Baz Luhrman movie. She has also been played on film by Norma Shearer, Susan Shentall, Ann Hasson, Rebecca Saire, Megan Porter Follows, Geraldine Somerville and about 50 more actresses and ballet dancers according to the IMdb. Plus she has been played on stage innumerable times in the 415 years or so since the play premiered. Some famous Juliets on stage have been Fanny Kemble (1829) and Peggy Ashcroft (who played opposite Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud on alternating nights) in 1935.
Few people understand the ancient languages so it's good to rewrite them. But it's difficult to be sure what was meant, so we may be changing the meaning. It's the same with Leonardo diCaprio's Romeo and Juliet and the classical version.
