  8. 1997. The year in which 22-year old Leonardo DiCaprio captured the world with his performance in blockbuster Titanic. The countless auditions he took in his childhood finally paid off. Of course, as a boy he also played the beautiful part of a handicapped boy in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, but his real breakthrough came with James Cameron’s hit. The movie made billions, and made Leonardo a world star in a minute. How did you feel about that, from a regular guy to a superstar? It was a bizarre time. When I walked in the street, and people saw me, they went completely crazy. They jumped on me, kissed me, they totally loosed themselves. It scared me a little bit, to be honest. Thank god it didn’t got my ego up, thanks to the up bring of my parents. They made me, whatever happened, stay grounded. It made me able to handle that strange situation. No, I wouldn’t want that time back. I know I will never reach that state of fame again, like it was in Titanic, but that’s actually giving me freedom. It takes off the pressure. Did you use you fame after Titanic in the right way? I think I didn’t lose any opportunities, but I didn’t accept every major role that was offered to me. Most of the time I just didn’t feel right about the subject. I’ve been much selected to which movies I would play in. After some time in the business you realize that it’s a lot of hard work, and I don’t feel like putting in the effort into movies I don’t one hundred percent like. It might sound strange to call my profession ‘hard work’ because of course I’m in a very privileged situation. But you have to realize that when you shoot you leave your house, friends and family for a long time. You’ll only do that for a picture that’s worth it. You grew up in Hollywood. Did you found out about the toughness of the industry in your childhood? No, I didn’t grew up in the [part of city] where the rich, famous people lived, but in a part that was dangerous and dirty, it still is actually. I wasn’t sure of my life. Could you give an example? In the street I lived, drug dealers were on every corner. I remember I went visit a friend on some day, and I saw a junkie across the street running in my direction. He was still having his needle in his hand. I was in complete shock, started running really fast and hid under a car until I didn’t saw him anymore. In that time I saw with my own eyes how drugs destroyed people’s live. That’s why I never wanted the stuff. Also, there were different gangs on my school. Once in a while I got beat up, but there was nothing I could do. I just needed to learn how to live with it, because there was no point in getting to the principle. It would only make it worse. Leonardo was fascinated by nature at a young age. ‘When I was a child I was a little biologist.’ The actor watched Hollywood films after school, but also documentaries fascinated him. He could get really sad that humanity would treat nature this badly. Still, Leo feels responsible for the world he’s living in. That’s why he’s driving a hybrid car, put sun-panels on his roof, and was producer of The 11th hour (2007), a documentary about climate changes and the heating of the earth. Why are you the right person to gain attention for environmental problems? I try to use my status as an actor to get attention for something really important. People listen to world stars, that’s just the way it works. What has to change, according to you? I know it’s not realistic to ask people to stop consuming. That’s not my point. I want people to realize how amazing it would be to live in a world where we don’t have to think about the environment. A world where all our energy is provided by alternative sources. The sun and the wind. It’s important that we are aware of the fact that the way we consume van mean something for the world. Every time we buy something we contribute to the factory that makes it. When you decide to drive a hybrid car and eat [not with dangerous stuff ] food, you make sure producers will only produce that kind of products. You are getting critics on the way you are environmental-friendly. It was supposed to be hypocrite, because you fly private planes. Of course I make mistakes too. But because of my work, sometimes, it’s just the only way. I only want to achieve that people are aware of the stage this world is in. Getting a hybrid is a perfect example. You get the same effect as any other car, but it’s better for the earth. Protecting the earth isn’t cheap. Not everyone can afford to get solar panels. I know that, and that’s why we should make it an issue. Alternative energy should be affordable for everyone. Unfortunately that’s still far away in the US, but we have to keep fighting. When we give up, that will have major consequences for the world. Your most recent films were on subjects like the heating of the earth, corruption at the police and African diamond trade. Is it important for you to play in movies that deliver a message? I like playing in films that show [governmental, social??] issues. When you make a film about subject which involves the people, you get more enthusiastic. But the most important question to me is: will it be a good movie? Do people want to watch this movie? You can play in political and controversial movies all you want, but if no one watches it, it not worth the effort. It’s lonely at the top, and that is extreme to Leonardo DiCaprio. When a movie is shot he away from home for months. Even though there are a lot a people around him, it are still strangers. On set, no real friendships begin, he says. ‘It can be pretty though. Sometimes you have something you really want to talk with someone about, but you can’t, because there is no person you trust in that way around.’ Like his childhood friends and his parents. What do your parents mean to you? Everything. People will be surprised if they would found out how less of an adult I am. I thank a lot of my success to my parents. They have always supported me, but they have never pushed me. Every day after school they drove me to countless auditions and said ‘ Leo, if you want to quit, you can just tell us.’ But I wanted to keep going, that’s what I have always wanted. And my parents thought me to be grounded too. An example? Instead of buying a five dollar coke and the hotel, I rather go to a supermarket to buy a six pack for the same price. How are you looking at yourself now you are heading to 37? I have to say that I’m very happy with where I am now. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I think; is this actually happening? I love acting and I love to be involved in the environment. I get bored easily, but these two things make me want to get out of bed everyday. You seem like a reversed person, except for when you talk about the environment, is this the real Leonardo DiCaprio? I think so, yes. In private I’m pretty calm also. When I’m out with friends, I don’t have to be the one talking all the time. I like to observe people and don’t always express my opinion in discussions. But yeah, talking about the earth is that important for me that I change my whole personality for it (laughs). We don’t know much about Leonardo DiCaprio’s private life. Is there something special you’d like to share with us? Alright, I’ll tell you something; I once almost died skydiving. The parachute didn’t open, and there I went, with an incredible speed closer and closer to the ground. On my way to death. I saw my life flashing before my eyes. Images of my childhood rushing at major speed. And then, just in time, the parachute opened. I can’t tell you how relieved I was. I haven’t done it ever since. You are admired by women all over the world. Are you aware of your image, or do just not care that much? It’s not nice when ALL women want something from you. There are really negative sides on it too. You can’t just go get a beer with friends, because every move you make is getting watched up closely. It’s still strange; when I was young, before I played in Titanic, I never had much luck with girls. I found it hard to really get contact with them. To be honest, I was kinda slow on the aria of love (laughs). My first girlfriend was Cessi. And I can tell you, it went fine through the phone, but when I saw her I went red and couldn’t say a word. I couldn’t even look at her. Very embarrassing. Which qualities does the one has to posses? She absolutely needs to have humor. And a thing I can’t stand: someone who’s so arrogant that she thinks she’s better that other people. That’s an absolute turn-off. Are you planning to get married and have children? Of course, in the end, that’s everyone’s wish, right? To have a family? A few years ago I thought of this way different actually. I didn’t believe in love and marriage. But I grew and my opinions has changed. I think it’s wonderful to have children and to see them grow up. But if I will get married before I’m forty? I don’t know. Let’s wait. ----------------------------------- I don’t know if this is recent, and some answers seems snippets from other interviews, but I thought, since it’s a slow news day, I would translate it Thanks dicapriophotos for the interview, it’s from the dutch magazine Libelle. Hope you guys like it
  9. I would love to see his house though, but yeah- the people on cribs just want to show off... 'This is my turtle, and this are my movie-posters' etc etc
  10. I hope so There are not that much starring roles left anyway
  11. A model again? Well- I trust Baz, but I hope the less of acting experience won't effect the movie.. Thanks Oxford
  12. OMG Bigmax Great finds! She's looking very pretty Glad she's working again Background I made;
  13. I don't mean it like it's because he's a moviestar - I don't really know how to say it- but it's like, people/voters expect him to win anyway, so they vote for someone else, you know?
  14. Found these at http://www.barrefaeli.co.il/ Sorry if it are much reposts, I haven't seen them before
  15. Thanks Ox omg guys guess what?! they are filming a movie at my school that's starring leonardo dicaprio! kjhfegkjgsk http://twitter.com/#!/saharaaBTC_ATL ??
  16. ^^ I think that the above is exactly Leo's problem. Everyone expects him to win, and he's just too big of a moviestar and everyones guess that it works against him..
  17. Thanks for that Kerri Looking beautiful as usual
  18. I never thought of it that way, but yeah- you're right Barbie, they do look a lot alike I don't think he spends that much money on sunglasses, because it seems he uses the same ones a lot, but if he does- why wouldn't he, it's part of his paparazzi shield
  19. Gosling... If he will beat Leo, I think I'm going to kill myself! I don't think it will change much, but all the little things contribute (Tree of life was even critizezed by Sean Penn himself
  20. Sorry Big, I just like the humor of superficial I wish there was video-material of Venice too
