Thanks for latest twitter sightings and Titanic related items

Oh, Kate

I’ve aged better than Leonardo DiCaprio: Kate Winslet


Kate Winslet has said that her co-star in the 1997 hit Titanic is “fatter” now while she’s thinner.

The actress, who has struggled with weight gain in the past, believes she has aged better than Leonardo DiCaprio.

“We do look very different, we’re older. Leo’s 37, I’m 36 we were 21 and 22 when we made that film. You know, he’s fatter now, I’m thinner,” the Daily Express quoted her as telling ITV’s show ‘Daybreak’ in an interview.

For Winslet, seeing herself as she was 15 years ago made watching the recently released 3D version of the movie “bizarre”.

“The second my face came on I was like, ‘Oh my God, make it stop, switch it off, somebody make it stop, turn the sound down, is that what we looked like? Oh my God, look what I looked like and look what Leo looks like!’ she said.

“It was completely bizarre, it was like somebody saying we’re going to take a home video that we made of you that’s three-and-a-half hours long and we’re going to make the world watch it all over again,” she added.

The star said that her children Joe, 7, and Mia, 11, are old enough to see the film but joked that she will be covering their eyes at times.

In one of the film’s most famous scenes, Winslet’s character, society beauty Rose, poses in the nude for DiCaprio’s talented, but penniless, artist, Jack.

Maybe I sound sarcastic about the pic but you know that I never take things so seriously! So even if we have different opinions about whatever thing, I hope that by speak my mind you girls not take it in a bad way. And  of course not bother me to listen yours.  

I just think you don't need to be so negative about things... we already have many HATERS out there talking bad about them, is more than I can handle. But of course it's your opinion... I just don't have to agree.

We disagree, that's all. Let's move on...


Thanks girls  .

yes, fash. It's because this is such a lack of best things to worry about, they could make a serious thing about environmental and not make such a big deal about this ridiculous rumor. It's the only way I can look at this and I really have to laugh.

At least they don't forgot to mention that Erin Heatherton is his current girlfriend, because every single time in this program they have to mention Gisele just because she's Brazilian, this sucks sometimes, I can say it because I'am Brazilian. I remember the last SERIOUS appearance of Leo in Fantastico was him promoting Shutter Island in 2010, and they asked him about Gisele... but didn't mentioned that he was dating Bar. Come on, Gisele have another life now, and Leo... well Leo is on his third girlfriend after Gisele. Just wanted to vent this. Don't you agree with me Pami and Nanda?

I saw it, Barbie... my family was here in my ears all the time, playing with me  . As usual, I supported him .

I hate that channel  ... always avoid talking about the real problems of our country and fantasizing about things that don't exist. You said it all: "this is such a Lack of best things to worry about"... seems that our country has no social problems, it's a paradise.

And this interview in 2010... I loved his answer to the question - always very polite - said she was now married, and had a baby and he was happy for her.

haha read this:    

“Over 14,000 costume changes was done and at times DiCaprio felt insecure about the way he looked. Co-star Gabriel Bryne explains to David Letterman on Late Night, “The first day we had to get into costumes, he (DiCaprio) called me over onto the set and asked, ‘Gabriel, do I look like an idiot?’ I said, ‘Leo, every woman in the entire universe is madly in love with you. Why would you look like an idiot?’ He then counters with, ‘Well, I just looked at you and you look like an idiot!’”

thanks to Leonardofanuk.tumblr.

that was so great!

Leonardo DiCaprio: From Child Actor to Film Icon


April 01, 2012

Leonardo DiCaprio practically grew up in front of America's eyes from TV gigs on Roseanne and Growing Pains to his biggest role in Titanic and we're looking back at our interviews with the star over the years.

On April 4, DiCaprio and Kate Winslet relive their acclaimed love story like you've never seen it before when the Titanic hits the big screen in 3D.

An update from Playlist regarding the rumored Satori film project

Quote

Not to be preachy about it, but discipline is everything for a working writer, at least for this one. I can’t just wander around fields of flowers or sit brooding in coffee houses waiting for the muse to land on my shoulder and whisper in my ear.  That would nice, but it ain’t gonna happen. I treat writing like a factory job – the whistle blows and I’m at work. This thing always comes down to someone sitting down with some kind of writing instrument and getting it done," author and screenwriter Don Winslow told us recently. And he's not kidding around. That focus and drive has allowed Winslow to write 16 books over the past two decades or so, including "Satori" (hitting bookstores in paperback last week) and his upcoming "Savages" prequel "The Kings Of Cool." And this doesn't even include the television work or the brewing movie adaptations he has in development. And though he commits to a strong worth ethic, it's never at the mercy of challenging himself as a writer or compromising his own standards.

His latest effort "Satori" may seem on the face it yet another thriller -- the book jacket draws instant reference points to James Bond and Jason Bourne -- but instead offers something very different from both those franchises. Lifting the protagonist from Trevanian's novel "Shibumi," the story follows Nicholai Hel, a martial arts expert and assassin raised in Japan who is also a master the ancient game of Go. When his master faces charges of war crimes, Nicholai kills him "as an act of devotion" but gets thrown in jail for murder. The CIA bails him out and teams him up with a beautiful French woman who trains him to assassinate the Russian commissioner to China. But when things go wrong, Nicholai is on the run through 1950s Vietnam hiding out from everybody ranging from worldwide intelligence agencies, the Corsican mob and a Vietnamese criminal syndicate.

Certainly a far cry from where 007 and the agent from Treadstone are these days. And given the cultural and period details that would be required of the story, Winslow invested the time to make sure he got things right. "...a lot of books, old newspaper and magazine articles, and a lot of collecting photos off the net. I had already co-authored a book about the Vietnam war era ['Looking For A Hero'] and felt pretty comfortable with the military and political background of Asia at that time," the author told us about his research process. "I’d spent a lot of time in China, as well – in Beijing and elsewhere and have always been intrigued by Chinese history. So much of the research was ‘smaller’, if you will – what did people eat in Beijing in December of 1951?  What was the weather? If you were walking down the Rue Catinat in Saigon in 1952, what did you see? Smell? Where did you go for a drink, for a coffee? I think it’s that kind of detail that gives a book life."

But what was it like to take on a pre-existing character? Winslow's idea to borrow from Trevanian is an intriguing one as not only do the two writers have wildly different styles, but they also explore different themes and territory as well. But it was exactly those differences that compelled Winslow. "For one thing, he wrote about what he felt like writing about – structure and genre be damned – and I admire that. If he wanted to take you spelunking, for instance, he just did it, and did it so well that you were fascinated by it. Moreover, he created this fascinating character, Nicholai Hel, a man torn between his European background and Asian upbringing, that was just too good not to do," he explained adding, "Also, I wanted to take the spy/thriller genre a little deeper, and get into historical and political issues of the time in a way that the reader would enjoy. I really like it when a reader comes away thinking, 'Boy, I learned something.' "

So given the thriller elements and rich subtext beneath, it's no surprise Hollywood came calling. Last fall, it was announced that the project was snapped up as a vehicle for Leonardo DiCaprio. And Winslow confirms that the project is still very much on the move. "It is Mr. DiCaprio’s film and I am thrilled about that. He is such a smart, versatile actor and he is the reason this all came together at Warner Brothers. His range is just enormous. From 'Catch Me If You Can to 'Gangs Of New York,' from 'Titanic' to 'Inception.' When [screenwriter] Shane [Salerno] first suggested him for 'Satori' I said 'We’ll never get him,' and Shane said 'let me see what I can do.' Producers John Lesher and Jennifer Davisson Killoran helped make that happen and when I found out he said yes I was incredibly excited because he is Nicolai Hel," Winslow enthused. "Shane and I are totally immersed in writing the script right now. It is a delicate balance. It is a heart pounding spy thriller with tremendous action and also a very sophisticated cold war love story."

I know Nanda, I tell my family that's ALL such a big lie and I agree they could show something about all the work Leo have been doing for the environmental all this years if they wanted to talk about this issue SERIOUSLY, but not they prefer to make fun of him with ridiculous made up story. But one day is the hunt, the other day is the hunter...  

In regards to the video in 2010, I know it was very sweet what Leo said about Gisele, I just don't like the way media in general and especially in this program always have to show her in ALL his interviews, not necessarry.

Sorry but I don't think that by saying what I think and some of those are not always praising him  I should be now considered a hater. Not for that I'm less fan of him.

But I understood perfectly that here some people will never be able of accepting different opinions without take it as an attack to Leo.  

[Pami]

I agree with kate and James a bit,in regards to their comments on Leo at the time of Titanic and now. I just dont agree that they speak on a way that it seems Leo is a fluffy or chubby guy... Dont exaggerate!    He looks so handsome and macho hehe with great arms and shoulders...come on....gimme a break!   
Barbie,I agree with you,they see Leo and immediately think of Gisele,Leo will be in his 80's and they will ask him about Gisele,that's annoying!


Tks for the vid Mickiala!

Oh Leo....you kill me....

thanks Pami!

Pami that pic is gorrrrggeeous!!

EDIT: Is this interview new?

Quote

In an interview with GQ magazine, he said: "Throughout my career, I never knew which movies of mine made money and which didn't. When Titanic came out, people would say, 'Do you realize what a success this is?' And I'd say, 'Yeah, yeah, it's a hit.'

The [money] stuff never mattered to me until I was into my thirties and got interested in producing, and people would show me charts explaining what finances a movie, what you'll make from foreign, what you'll make from domestic, what you need to make an R-rated film that's a comedy versus a drama. But even now I say that unless you want to prove that you can carry a film with your name, continuously trying to achieve box-office success is a dead end."

"For my generation, it's always the '70s. That period where you felt like the hands were being dealt back in the director's favor. The studios realized that letting them tell their stories was something the audience had a hunger for.

And of course, it all went awry. [They both laugh.] Taxi Driver to me is the ultimate independent-movie performance. Playing a character like Travis Bickle is every young actor's wet dream."
