10 Questions for Leonardo DiCaprio How true is your new movie, J. Edgar, to Hoover's life? Historically, it's incredibly accurate. Whatever happened with him as far as his personal life is up for interpretation, and I think the film also represents that. No one except for Mr. [Clyde] Tolson [Hoover's FBI protg and rumored lover] and Mr. Hoover truly know what went down between them, but they absolutely were inseparable partners throughout their lives. So you think he was gay? I think no one really knows the truth. Some experts will say without question he was a heterosexual man and Clyde Tolson was his business partner and they were of service to our country. You and Hoover both had success at a young age. Did that help you get inside his skin? I identified with his ambition. I've been incredibly ambitious ever since I was young and in some respects have had no reservations about going for things I've wanted without questioning what the result will be. Also like Hoover, you've been famous for a long time. What is the worst impact it has had on your personality? There are a lot of pitfalls to success, and one is not listening to criticism. One of the most important things you can do is hear criticism of yourself and embrace it, whether it be--in my case--artistic or personal. This movie opens with terrorist acts in several U.S. cities in 1919 and authorities reacting out of fear. Is it drawing parallels with events of the past decade? Very much so. The incentive for the screenplay was the stripping of one's own inalienable rights as an individual and the [encroachment] of government on our constitutional freedoms. [screenwriter] Dustin Lance Black was inspired by the Bush era. Does your participation in this movie reflect your politics? [Director] Clint Eastwood and I and Dustin have different ideas on politics, and we didn't bring those to the table. For me, it was more a portrait of a man who protected his own secrets but spent his life infiltrating other people's. Given that both you and Clint have probably had stories told about you that were embroidered for dramatic effect, did you have qualms about doing that to somebody else's life? You have to make character choices. That's what artistic license is. But yeah, I imagine if I were to see a movie about my life, there would be many things I'd argue with. There's how history records what you did, but there's also what your real intent was. That's a complex web. Are you interested in an Eastwood-style directing career? It takes the type of temperament that Clint Eastwood has, because you're not just focused on yourself. I want that challenge one day. You're making a 3-D version of The Great Gatsby in Australia with Baz Luhrmann at the moment. What drew you to Gatsby? The idea of a man who came from absolutely nothing, who created himself solely from his own imagination. Gatsby's one of those iconic characters because he can be interpreted in so many ways: a hopeless romantic, a completely obsessed wacko or a dangerous gangster intent on clinging to wealth through Daisy. This doesn't make the movie sound very romantic ... There's incredible romance in there. Speaking of which, Titanic's coming out in 3-D. Will we see Jack Dawson mania again? I can't tell you how much I don't think about that. Read more: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/...l#ixzz1cgunFngi

Clint Eastwood Taught Leonardo DiCaprio How to Fight in 'J. Edgar' If you have to film a fight scene on the set of a Clint Eastwood movie, you better learn how to do it right. While shooting the upcoming biopic 'J.Edgar,' Leonardo DiCaprio and Armie Hammer (or, more specifically, their characters) were required to get into a brawl. But before the camera started rolling, Dirty Harry himself stepped in to show them the ropes. In this week's Hollywood Reporter, Hammer talks about how it all went down. "Clint was there with one of his stunt-guy friends, Buddy Van Horn, and they put on an impromptu fight scene for us." said Hammer. "There's Buddy standing in the middle of the room and Clint says, 'I think it should be something like this' -- and he explodes into Clint Eastwood the fighter and they start smacking each other around and rolling on the floor. And then Clint just gets up and says, 'OK, something like that.'" That's right: Eighty-one-year-old Clint Eastwood can still throw down with the best of them. Although, if you've ever watched 'Gran Torino,' then you'd know that already. 'J. Edgar' opens November 11 nationwide.

The actor Leonardo DiCaprio “has made a career of highly risky choices,” writes Brooks Barnes, “and somehow it keeps paying off not only on the awards circuit — he has been nominated for three Academy Awards — but at the box office as well.”

Leonardo Dicaprio Talks 'J. Edgar,' Dustin Lance Black Says He Got Fat Whether he plays an underground cop on the streets of Boston or a wealthy aviation pioneer, true Leonardo DiCaprio fans will almost always see the dreamy boy from Chippewa Falls. But in "J. Edgar," where he stars as the not-so-sexy FBI director, his physical transformation is undeniably shocking. The New York Times profiled the actor and revealed that while he spends a good deal of his time dating the most beautiful women in the world, he takes his work very seriously. He did months of research to take on the challenging role. He toured the Justice Department and one of Hoover's past homes; he even found obscure film footage of a young Hoover and read through transcripts of his Congressional testimony. "I wanted him to tell me how he walked, how he talked, what his hands looked like, what his desk looked like, what was above his desk," DiCaprio said."The research of these roles is half the fun and half the challenge -- maybe more. It's what makes it exciting to me." While the actor studied Hoover's style and the way he spoke, he also picked up a little habit that made embodying his physique a bit easier, too: Eating. Screenwriter Dustin Lance Black talked about DiCaprio's love of German chocolate cupcakes. "Some of those pounds on later Hoover were not prosthetic," he said. "I'll say it. Leo got a little fat." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/02/l...f=entertainment

How Makeup Transformed Leonardo DiCaprio Into 'J. Edgar' How makeup artist Sian Grigg and costume designer Deborah Hopper turned the handsome 36-year-old Dicaprio into the aging FBI director. In J. Edgar, Leonardo DiCaprio undergoes one of the most dramatic physical changes of his career, spending six to seven hours a day in makeup. Transforming him into J. Edgar Hoover -- seen from his mid-20s into his 70s -- required a trunkful of prosthetics including fake teeth, a bald cap, a device to reshape one nostril, latex body pads, colored contacts and layers of silicone applied to the actor's face. Leo's been subjected to some very long makeups by me in the past, but this film is his most challenging," says Sian Grigg, the actor's makeup artist since 1997's Titanic, who was nominated for an Oscar in 2004 for her work with DiCaprio on The Aviator. DiCaprio's transformation wasn't a huge stretch for the scenes where Hoover is seen in his youth. "Their facial structure is similar because Hoover still had quite a fine jaw at that time," she says. Surprisingly, DiCaprio was able to use one of the prosthetics he wore to his advantage. Fangs FX (which has done teeth for the Harry Potter films) made upper and lower dental appliances with ceramic plumpers to push out his mouth. The uppers and lowers were for old Hoover, and "Leo asked to wear the lower one for the younger scenes. I think it helped him change his speech," says Grigg. Because Clint Eastwood doesn't like monitors or playbacks on the set, an attentive director of photography was essential. "Tom Stern, the cinematographer, let me know whenever there was something that needed our attention. There was no CGI needed on any of Leo's makeup; that's staggering in this day and age." Grigg is now in Australia doing DiCaprio's makeup for The Great Gatsby. No latex aging this time. But she's over the moon about his J. Edgar transformation. "Leo's performance brings the makeup to life. Layers of prosthetics are like acting with a paper bag on your face and Leo had to learn to exaggerate his expressions so they would show through the appliances. I really believed he was old. And I stuck it on his face." When it came to the clothes for the film, a big conundrum for BAFTA-nominated costume designer Deborah Hopper (Changeling) was DiCaprio's padding. Grigg applied molded latex on his body so that it felt like his own flesh. He wore a small amount of padding as young Hoover, but the fat suit was enlarged and included latex arm pieces as he aged. Given Hoover's increasingly portly physique, it's hard to think of him as a fashion plate. But think again. Hopper's intense research revealed that Hoover and his protege, Clyde Tolson, were keenly aware of -- one might say obsessed with -- their images. "Hoover and Tolson were extremely meticulous about their appearances," says Hopper. "They wore pocket squares, watch fobs, ties, tie tacks and cuff links, and Hoover was very particular about his hats." In the film, Tolson, played by Armie Hammer, brings Hoover to his tailor at Garfinckel's department store to be fitted for his first double-breasted suit, just as Tolson did in real life. DiCaprio wears 80 suits, several custom-made from vintage fabrics. Rather than crafting a similar number of pairs of shoes, Hopper trimmed her expenses by buying classic wing tips, lace-ups and spectators -- which pass for period footwear -- from Wisconsin-based shoe company Stacy Adams. The designer -- who also oversaw costumes for more than 3,000 extras and 130 speaking roles -- used color palettes for each decade to help the viewer keep track of the time from the '60s to the '20s and '30s and back again. The '20s feature brown, nubby-textured suits. In the '30s, the dark navy and gray wool suits are showier, some with bold stripes and textures. In the '60s, sleeker suits come in smooth solids like charcoal, navy and brown. "Having worked with Clint for so long, I also know that he prefers a muted palette," says Hopper, who was with the director on Mystic River, Gran Torino and Million Dollar Baby. As Hopper sees it, the film, in addition to being a fascinating American political drama, is an "American men's fashion history." THE REAL HOOVER J. Edgar Hoover was known for his bulldog jaw, which is why DiCaprio wore dental appliances to push out the lower part of his face. According to Grigg, he also had terrible teeth. "He didn't like to show them," she says. "I only saw one bit of footage where you could see his teeth, and they were dreadful. He had them all replaced in his 30s and wore dentures the rest of his life." DICAPRIO AS J. EDGAR The Hair: For the older Hoover, DiCaprio wore a full silicone bald cap, with individual hairs punched in. Then a toupee was glued on top and the two were blended together. The Eyes: The actor wore two pairs of contact lenses, one on top of the other. Brown contacts were overlaid with lenses that yellowed and aged the whites of his eyes. The Skin: Ultra-soft silicone appliances were applied all over the actor's face. "The fact that they are so soft makes them hard to apply. They are like pieces of Jello, but they enable the face to move like real skin," says makeup artist Sian Grigg. The Nose: Because one side of Hoover's nose protruded (the result of an infected boil when he was young), Grigg inserted a circular augmenter in one of DiCaprio's nostrils to make it look slightly off-kilter.

by the way... the pic of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. OMG Daddy-o!!!! you're so freaking HOT

'J. Edgar' Q&A: Leonardo DiCaprio The star on playing a mama's boy and anticipating "Titanic 3D." This story originally appeared in the Nov. 11 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. What drew you to Hoover? How incredibly mysterious he was. The more I researched, the more intrigued I became. I don't think you could ever know everything about him, but I felt I understood what drove him. Which was what? His mother. She was this really intense stage mom who wanted her son to have great glory. He lived with her until he was 40 years old; his father wasn't present in a major way and was mentally ill toward the end of his life -- I think he was manic depressive and unable to really function. Even when Hoover was under great criticism, she was always there to be his guiding force. Who gave you the most insight into Hoover? The only remaining man that worked with him, [former FBI deputy director] Deke DeLoach. I spent a day with him. I wanted to know what kind of personality [Hoover] had on a social level, how he held his hands, how he would fly at people, how he conducted his work at the office -- all those minute details that only somebody who knew him for a long time could answer. Did you reach any conclusions about his sexuality? No one knows the answer. What this film is trying to portray is that, whatever he felt, he was not able to live out his personal life in a way that allowed him to love and be loved. But what you cannot doubt is that Clyde Tolson and he had a relationship that spanned most of their life; they lived with each other, had lunch and dinner, and [Hoover] left everything to Clyde. Unarguably, they were partners in some sense. Did you grow to like Hoover? I think he started off with good intentions, but I completely disagree with a lot of his tactics. I grew to have more respect for him and what he did; but like him? I don't think I liked what I understood of him, his ideals or beliefs. What about Clint? He was fantastic; he always knew what he wanted and always gave you an honest direction. The man really trusts his own instincts as a director more than most people I've worked with. He reacts from his gut -- he either likes what you do or doesn't and tells you straight away, and you make adjustments on the spot. Titanic is about to be released in 3D. Have you seen it? I haven't seen the 3D [version] at all yet; I am scheduled to -- I hear it's going to be fantastic. Jim [Cameron] called me personally to tell me this was going to happen. I said, "Cool! I can't wait." There's nobody who can do it better.
