AliceT Found these at Getty

Alice T Below is the article that appeared back in 2005 when Leo & Marty received it right after they did The Aviator. At the time I remember we saw a group of pix from the event, but I can't find any other beyond one shown in article at this time http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4150843.stm Jade Not to be cynical , but I think any celeb / person in the entertainment industry knows they are going to get a lot of free press by mentioning Leo in any context. Since he is known worldwide media outlets worldwide pick up any articles that mention him as be it a reader in the US or a very remote area of the world =people know who Leo is Plus it certainly doesn't hurt Drew's US talk show press for all these articles about the two of them to be appearing Plus I find people tend to get more excited about 'celeb pairings' versus a celeb with a relative unknown, and as Mirella mentioned, Drew is generally well liked celeb , known to have a good sense of humor, is single, and need I say closer to his age , so many liked the idea of them hooking up

Sugarwater Always a treat to check in and find new pix of Leo , thanks 😊

Jade & Sugarwater Regarding recent changes to forum , I don't know if you noticed, but a few weeks right after the board was done for updating, we started having badges by our names, I wrote moderator Michael and asked about these, and he said that it was something that appeared after update that they didn't intend to do, and they would be removed as they have been At same time I asked him about the problem with posting IG post directly to board. We had this problem last year, I wrote Michael and made him aware of it, and it was corrected, but once again, after the update we can no longer post directly to forum I hadn't noticed to Jade and you mentioned it that the spoiler tag is ,also, missing I'll write him again , as , maybe , they don't realize it , and see if any updates on posting IG posts directly

Looks like KOTFM will be 96 day shoot According to crew member they were up to Day 48 and half way done on July 1st https://www.instagram.com/p/CQypqIQrDfe/ Jade Yes, I , also , think Vera was pregnant with Billy's baby 👍 Tks , for all the pix, of the so sexy Billy Costigan Also, tks, for news that Leo's documentary Fin has been well received

More about the pic I posted above. The woman standing between Leo & Lilly is Mollie's granddaughter

Jade Gosh so many wonderful pix of Leo at once Tks , also, for all of the eyeglass pix through the years

Another pic we haven't seen before of Leo and Lilly Sugarwater , we see he still has those glasses

New videos of Leo on set yesterday, we see him walking into trade building , and then when his SUV passes the girl's car we see him sitting in passenger seat, and then in 3rd video we see him walking back to his SUV with his face shield on https://www.instagram.com/p/CRP4GvzFuQT/

Mirella I've read the entire script, and , I think, once you see the film , you'll understand what McKay meant by those remarks. As to Leo/script, we've learned in the past , be it this film, or Inception, Leo often meets with directors about his character before filming begins. I would speculate that is part of his signing on requirements for all of his films And again, having read the script , I think, I have an idea of what Leo wanted 'added', but at same time I don't wish to 'spoil' the film for others , and , once again, I feel once all see the film they will ,also, have a hunch of what Leo wanted 'added/tweaked"

Sugarwater Tks for info that Leo auditioned for Outsiders tv series not movie Jade I’ve never seen the movie , but apparently it has a cult following Aa to the little girl , I don’t know if it has connection to the movie , but , at least to me , it looks like the girl who took the pic , and she inserted to let all know it was her pic

Sugarwater Tks for reply as to what was in his bag That’s great that you got to see some of the filming and got autograph I don’t remember who posted the article , but I remember reading an article on the forum that claimed that Leo had auditioned for The Outsiders Also, tks , for info about Danny’s height

Another Outsider House pic Gosh that guy Danny is tall !

Sugarwater What I was trying to figure out about the recent pix , is what is in the bag he is holding ? At first I thought it was something he bought at museum , but then the name on lower right corner looks like Zoe Cassavetes ??

Sugarwater As to Leo/ reading glasses, I remember way back in 1998 Leo was photographed at Lakers’ game sitting countryside with glasses on , and some fans thought he wore them only to try to disguise himself & others felt it was because he needed them And ever so often since then, I’ve seen pix of him wearing glasses So could be has always needed them, or they were used as disguise, or what was once used as disguise is now needed due to age as unbelievable as it at time seems Leo will soon be only 3 years from 50 😜

Danny O'Conner talks more about Leo's visit to Outsider House https://tulsaworld.com/entertainment/movies/leonardo-dicaprio-tours-outsiders-house-museum-saturday/article_56d2852e-e1ef-11eb-9cb6-23125f5cb25c.html

New pix of Leo today taken in Tulsa at Outsiders’ House Museum with hip hop artist Danny O'Conner who bought the house used for filming and turned it in to museum of Outsiders' memorabilia The house where they filmed Francis Ford Coppola's film The Outsiders

This little girl and her twin sister were cast for KOTFM , since they normally use twins for kids that have big scenes (in order to comply with union rules regarding kids on set ) , I wonder if she is playing Mollie and Ernest's little girl Elizabeth ??? Also noticed they are preparing for the ballet scene that previously Sugarwater posted a casting notice for https://www.instagram.com/p/CRJGGMFDt8u/ Sugarwater Tks for new photo of Leo and Robert Agree with others, even from behind, his hair looks wonderful I had read this morning that they filmed late into the night as well a party scene Mirella Tks for all the HR roundtable vids, they are interesting to watch As to low budget films, I would say Leo's early films were like WEGG, BD, TE , TBL , MR Jade Tks for latest DLU news

These IG posts include videos from yesterday & pix https://www.instagram.com/p/CRELYZXsZoc/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CREKEOnMaz3/

New pix of Leo on KOTFM set Jade I laughed when I saw the video Daniel Newman tweeted yesterday, it was as if someone had been reading our recent Leo/interview conversation , and then made a video showing how he 'zones off' often in interviews

From recent interview , interesting that Tarantino's favorite scene in the movie was the one he deleted with Leo and the little girl actress https://www.indiewire.com/2021/07/tarantino-cut-hollywood-scene-leonardo-dicaprio-loved-1234649025/ Sugarwater Tks for Cherokee intertribal powwow clip

Speaking of future DLU pr interviews , I wonder if Leo will do any interviews with Meryl I always liked these pix of Hank & Mom from Oscar event I loved how in last pic she had her hand around the back of his head

Jade Agree that was a cute interview with Tom Tks , those are very kind words from Anupam Kher One of my fave red carpet moments was this exchange between Leo and Jonah at WOWS premiere

Jade I think for sure there will be pr interviews for DLU , but with so many other cast members to do them , I do wonder how many will include Leo Jennifer is normally much more laid back in her interviews , so , maybe , that will loosen Leo up some , or at least I can hope

Sugarwater Thanks so much for the detailed story and vids about your visits to Pawhuska ; it is much appreciated , as it gives us a glimpse into the filming that we would never have without you making an extra effort to visit set, etc At same time , thanks so much , for reply to my questions regarding recent Inlonshka , I've , personally, very much enjoyed learning all of this type information that you have shared with us along the way. Liljak As to pix of Leo/Ernest or lack of them : I think it can be attributed to several factors First, bystanders ability to take pix of Leo /Ernest depends on him doing an 'outside scene' in downtown Pawhuska where he is required to stand 'outside' for a period of time. As look at how many pix were snapped of him when he did the exiting train scene where he had to stand outside the train for a period of time with extras combined with him then having to walk back to his car/trailer/or locale where he was then out of camera site As the pix we have gotten of Leo in downtown area of Pawhuska were a vid of him rehearsing a scene with Lily where she gets out of car , and he runs over to her that takes place in middle of street. The next vid we got was of Leo at one point jumping off a wagon as it traveled down the main street of Pawhuska So IFFF there are future scenes which require Ernest to be outside in downtown Pawhuska for a period of time , we might get some more pix/vids Otherwise , from what I can tell they have filmed at locales outside of Pawhuska that have allowed them to block off public traffic/people at such a distance that even if you were a fan and went to filming site, you are too far away to 'see' anything /take pix As think about OUATIH , the pix we got of Leo were mainly when Brad and he were driving down Hollywood streets, as Tarantino wasn't able to totally block all the nearby streets off to local people with cameras. Whereas when they were filming at Rick's house /Brad's trailer/ Playboy Mansion , or Sharon's house = they were able to block locals far away , and we got no pix Secondly, as we know from the friend of Sugarwater , as well as, Sugarwater's own experiences = timing is everything. If her friend had not stopped in a store with her Mom, she would have seen Leo. If Sugarwater had not arrived on the set when she did , she would not have seen Cara and Lilly getting out of the car It seems recently they are doing 'indoor' scenes with the principals, and unless you just happen to be there when Leo exits his black SUV to either enter the building or exit it , you are out of luck, and , let's face it , as fans we have no idea 'when/at what time' Leo will be dropped off or exit , and most people don't have the free time to go to set every day or stand around all day Thirdly, as we've discussed on the forum many times, we always loved when Leo went to NY ,as New Yorkers were more apt to tweet when they saw him or post a pic on their Twitter feed or IG page As I do feel some locals have gotten pix of Leo on set, but they are not people who are going to post it on Twitter or IG , they have just shared it with friends Lastly, years ago I had contact with a fan who was able to see Leo when he was filming WOWS . Naturally when I was chatting with her, I had hoped that she had taken lots of pix of him that she would be able to share with me And when I asked her about pix , she told me the following : I have been a fan for years, and I knew this was probably the only time in my life I would be able to see Leo in person, and I just wanted to take him all in , and not only see him through an Iphone camera lens A sentiment I have heard others say about why they no longer take pix at their child's recital/game/ graduation/etc = that they don't want their memory of the event be of them only seeing it /experiencing it through a camera lens So while at the time I was shocked that she didn't snap any pix of him as time has gone on I've come to understand better her viewpoint Jade As to your sentiments below about Leo /recent interviews, as you may recall, I expressed those same sentiments after he finished doing the pr tour for Once I feel, like me , none of his long time fans watch such interviews thinking for one moment he is going to talk about his personal life, etc, so that he doesn't is certainly not something that makes me have a less favorable view of his interviews Plus Leo has enough 'power' that even before he sits down, interviewers are given a list of what topics to avoid with him or interview will end, so it is not like he is 'tensing' up because any minute he feels he is about to be asked to reply to a subject/topic that is sensitive to him Rather my turnoff is that he seems to have a rehearsed set of responses that he gives no matter what he is being asked , that he is not really engaging /listening to the interviewer, that he is on 'auto pilot' Yes, there were a few moments in those Once interviews where he got off his rehearsed script of replies,etc, but even then, I felt that was due more to reacting to what his co stars had just said /laughed about rather than the question posed to him Will things be any different with DLU or KOTFM interviews, I guess, we'll just have to wait and see
