A more detailed article about the Q&A. Here Leo parts. DiCaprio honed in on several actors in particular — and, eventually, one more specifically — as models for his character. Tarantino: “I didn’t base Rick Dalton off of one actor. I based him off about five different actors. … A lot of this stuff I was showing Leo, he was really seeing it for the first time and didn’t know who these people were per se, so it was really interesting to get his honest reaction to them. I mean, if you talk to me about Ed ‘Kookie’ Burns, I come with a whole lineage of who Edd ‘Cookie’ Byrnes is. He doesn’t know who the f— he is! So he watches ‘Secret Invasion,’ and I go, wow, Leonardo DiCaprio really liked Edd Burns in ‘Secret Invasion,’ that’s really groovy. That was an honest reaction without any baggage.” DiCaprio: “I kind of keyed in on three guys: Ty Hardin, Edd Byrnes and Ralph Meeker. And once we honed in on Ralph Meeker, I started obsessively watching his work, because there was a vulnerability and sensitivity to him, and a sort of pathos in his work, that I felt Rick had the potential to emulate in his own career. … What kind of actor he could become was the biggest question for me. And I think we both mutually decided that yeah, there is a depth to Rick’s work, and applying himself and digging deep, he can give a great performance.” DiCaprio spent so much time shooting scenes apart from Pitt’s and Robbie’s characters that he was surprised seeing them in the finished film. “We were almost all going to do our separate little independent movies,” said DiCaprio. “Like, I went off to the sort of ‘Lancer’ set for a few months, and Margot and Brad would go do their thing. … I just love the tapestry of what Quentin created with all three of these characters and how they intersected.” But, he admitted, “I had no idea (Pitt’s Cliff) was going to be this incredibly charismatic, Alain Delon type of character.” DiCaprio added that he believes the added moments of flagrant, angry insecurity “became a very universal thing, not only for actors, (but others, too) who’ve been in that position and have those voices of doubt within all of us.” With all the legends on the set, DiCaprio was maybe most in awe of… Luke Perry. Moderator Jim Hemphill mentioned that DiCaprio had worked with everyone from Al Pacino to Perry on the film. And guess which one of those two the actor leaped to talk about? “Honestly, as soon as I saw Luke on the set ,I was brought back to my teenage past and felt starstruck,” DiCaprio said. “I remember being a young actor and he was television’s James Dean figure, the guy that everyone was crazy about. It was honestly this feeling of anxiety before I got to talk with him. Even my friend who’s named Vinnie who was on the set that day said: ‘Holy shit, it’s Luke Perry!’ I got to finally sit down and talk with him, and man, he couldn’t have been a gentler soul. He was so giving, and there was a purity and an honesty to him in talking about the industry and where his career was at and a gratefulness to be on that set working with Quentin. … It was a fantastic moment getting to spend the day with him and getting to know him, and it was obviously tragic and sad news when we heard what happened.” DiCaprio did come around to that Pacino guy, eventually. When Hemphill asked about the Musso & Frank’s scene, DiCaprio indicated that there was a lot more to it than seen in the final cut, and that he hopes the outtakes emerge someday. He and Pacino actually spend months bonding. “There was a lot more in that sequence, because really Al sets up my entire career, and gives people an entire tapestry of what happened to me and what my destiny is. The essence of it is still there… I got to rehearse with Al at my house and his place for months beforehand, because we had these long sequences together. And then it was just a magical moment (on the set) — one on one with Al Pacino, almost three weeks that we were there doing these monologues. Someday we’ll see them see the light of day, because there was some great stuff there.” https://variety.com/2019/film/news/once-upon-time-hollywood-panel-tarantino-dicaprio-pitt-robbie-new-beverly-1203391341/#article-comments

Really cool article about filming Once and Q&A that happened this afternoon. One of the most memorable moments in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood is Rick Dalton's (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) frantic meltdown in his trailer after he forgets his lines while shooting a pilot for western series Lancer. As it turns out, that scene was not in the original script, and was added by Quentin Tarantino at DiCaprio's behest. The star told the writer-director, "I need to fuck up during the Lancer sequence, and when I fuck up during the Lancer sequence, I need to have a real crisis of conscious about it and I have to come back from it in some way," Tarantino remembered at a post-screening Q&A in Los Angeles on Sunday. "My response was, 'You're going to fuck up my Lancer sequence?! That's my western! I get two-for-one in this movie, I snuck a western in here while no one was fucking looking!'" To appease both parties, Tarantino shot the scene both with the forgotten lines and without, deciding that "with the fuck up, it was just so amazing that of course we were going to use it," and then went about crafting the trailer tantrum, deciding to mostly leave it up to DiCaprio to improvise. The director wanted to do three continuous takes with DiCaprio in crisis, and planned to cut together the best bits ⁠— he threw out topics to his star but DiCaprio was left to do the rest. For example, Tarantino would say, "Get pissed off about Jim Stacy," and DiCaprio would respond, "Oh that fucking Jim Stacy, just sitting up there watching me, thinking he's so fucking hot, he wouldn't be a wrangler on my show." He director laughed remembering, "the cutest part was how nervous he was to do it, I've never seen him so nervous." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/quentin-tarantino-leonardo-dicaprio-phone-free-sets-scene-improvisation-1251890

Q&A with Quentin, Brad and Margot.

Today is a good day, new commercial for all birds shoes.

I'am simply in love with this pics.

Funny how he didn't had idea what Titanic would become and how much that movie would change his career and life forever.

First video it's a extended scene.

In this video from governor's awards you can see a bit more of Leo around minute 2, when Jamie calls Quentin as well.

This guy have great words about meeting Leo at OUATIH premiere in LA.

Halloween is coming.

Thanks to post the pics, ox. Lmao at this comment I saw under the news Once will return to theaters. OUATIH might have not pleased everyone, as I read all over internet people that disliked the movie, and even when I went to watch I heard people complaining that they didn't liked. But the cool thing about the ones that liked the movie is that a LOT of them went to watch over and over and over again and had the same feeling that everytime we see it, the movie gets better. In the latest post of OUATIH ig page you see in the comments a lot of people saying they went to watch 2, 3, 4, 5, even 6 times and they are still willing to go watch again for more 10 minutes, this is really cool.

New pics inside the article. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7611225/amp/Leonardo-DiCaprio-keeps-low-profile-seen-dad-George-leaving-lunch-Beverly-Hills.html

Just a cute short video edit of Leo doing Once promo.

Agree girls, I want Leo nominated in all this awards just by the simple fact that we will get tons of pics and videos, and watch him live on tv, haha. But yeah, of course seeing the recognition of his work being nominated is always great.

Thanks for the article. And yes, it was known Leo would go for lead and Brad for supporting, and I honestly don't think it's unfair, tbh, because even though Brad might have the same amount of time on screen as Leo, watching the movie 3 times, I though that if the movie belonged to a character, that character was Rick, a lot of things that happen revolves around Rick, so for me it's not only about screen time but about the movie plot, of course Cliff is super important in the movie, but for me Rick is clearly the lead. And after saying all this, I will say that IF Brad and Leo get nonimated... Brad have a LOT more chances to win at Oscars for supporting than Leo winning for Lead, the lead actors category will be super tough.

And here we go... awards campaign has started.
