Did everyone read the interview? I enjoyed it. One thing that struck me that I found particularity interesting is when he refers to his sister. He could be using it figuratively but it’s possible he’s referring to his niece. If his dad/ step mom adopted her then I guess technically she’d be both his sister and niece. DiCaprio: I remember with my little sister and her friends, they asked, “What was it like?” I lived in the days where there was an answering machine, and when you had plans, you either needed to be there on time, or you’d call on a pay phone to check your answering machine to see if they left a message, to see if they were going to be late. And then you’d have to call their answering machine so they could check their answering machine. They were like, “You guys must have never had plans—how did you ever communicate?” There was a lot of waiting around; you had to stick to your word.

Take my money already! This looks great 👍🏼

Congratulations Jade!

Exert from a Billie Zane article: Another movie I always loved is Only You (1994). You played the fake Damon Bradley. Everyone knows your cameo in Zoolander, but even back then you were taking the piss out of your pretty boy, suave persona. Absolutely. Self-deprecation and a well-timed prat fall, that’s the thing. I love Chaplin and Peter Sellers, the economy of a physical gag. I can’t help but infuse that in my work, or at least a glimmer of it. You’ll see it in Titaniceven. If you watch Cal in terms of his reactions to information as it comes in, he doesn’t really care. He knows he’s getting off the boat. It’s that confidence of like, sinking-schminking. The arrogance is hysterical. It feeds the narrative and the hubris of the age he carries, but there’s such an absurdity that it would make [James] Cameron and I giggle. He’d yell “Cut!” and we’d laugh our asses off because the character was such a tool. Speaking of Titanic (1997), there’s a famous New York Magazine article titled Leo, Prince of the City, written by Nancy Jo Sales and published back in 1998, right after Titanic blew up and Leonardo DiCaprio became the biggest star on the planet. Do you remember experiencing that phenomenon of Leo? You were like 10 years older than him. Were you concerned for him or excited? Oh, excited. He was a lovely guy, still is. We were pals, but there was also a mutual appreciation for each other’s work. We’d see each other socially before Titanic, so when we both got the gig, it was like, “Oh, this is gonna be a hoot.” But watching that unfold… I remember when we were filming Titanic, we drove breakneck to the Chinese Theatre one night for the premiere of Romeo + Juliet (1996) and then drove back in the early hours to be on set again. And it was nice seeing him blowing up in real time, even before Titanic. Romeo + Juliet was really the start of it. We were like, “Oh, so it begins. Just wait till they see you running around with your little suspenders!” Were you partying with him at that time? I mean, yeah, I was living in New York in the late ’90s and we were like neighbours. I lived next door to The Mercer and I knew his crew, they were all young actors. But I was not part of... the pack. The “Pussy Posse”. “Welcome elder statesman…” Like the old man who’d roll in with sage advice for the young bucks having their day. No. But it was fun to watch. He did just fine. That kid didn’t need much help.

Fun fact: That’s Dominique Blanc. She played Leo’s sister in Total Eclipse!

Great bit of Leo’s Basketball diaries mum (can’t remember actresses name?) talking about Leo on with Jimmy Fallon. Edit: Lorraine Bracco v15044gf0000d0dsuc7og65mfp9evv20.mp4

Apparently Leo attended the met

Yaaaas! So happy to see this!

Hopefully we’ll get a sneak peak of OBAA or a trailer even. Wonder if Leo shows up? I think he went with Tarantino for OUATIH if I remember correctly. He looked so good that day!

So nice to finally hear about all of Leo’s upcoming projects. He always makes good decisions but if I had to rank which projects I’m looking forward to from most to least it would look like this: 1: One Battle after Another Just really looking forward to his first colab with PTA. A long time coming. The plot details we have so far (that seem super gonzo) and the polarising reviews are just making me more excited! Hopefully this will quieten down everyone who says Leo doesn’t take enough risks. 2: Home As discussed on this msg board before, I’d really love him to pick something more intimate and this feels like the perfect character study for that. He was so great in Revolutionary Road. I picture this being of similar scale. 3:Evil Kinevil Whilst I’m a bit bio picked out (as Leo once said) I think this character study could offer a lot more that the traditional rise and fall musical biopic. As much as I love Marty it’s always nice to see him trying out new relationships. Different directors seem to bring out different performance styles from him. 4. The wager This feels dead in the water now (pardon the pun) but could have been great! I just imagined the cast ensemble being next level. 5. Sinatra and New The Rock/ Emily blunt project’s Im sure this just says more about me and my personal taste but these just aren’t getting me as excited yet. I’d love to hear everyone else’s thoughts too?

cute! showing off his new Rolex partnership already

https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2025/3/2/pta I guess they’re still figuring out how to market it

Yes. I think a lot is resting on Leo’s shoulder’s with this one. Hard to know what will be a success anymore
