Believe me Pami, our Country is big.....its not as special And Barbie I have no idea...Are those on his mothers side then? I know Kat! But...he lives there anyway,in your country. Brazil is a huge country too,but in my case he will be in the same state as me!! Barbie,I've heard these names before,and I think you are right.

Yeah Kat,you're right! But I should say you and Oxford are the lucky ones here cause you feel it almost everyday since he's american! Love this scene from Blood Diamond...

Matt Damon vs. Leonardo DiCaprio: Whose South African (and Southie) Accent is Better? By Julian Sancton 6:51 PM, December 16 2009 E-Mail Comments(0) From a casting agent’s perspective, Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio are as good as it gets. Not only can they both carry a movie, but they immerse themselves totally in their parts. Both, too, have displayed an impressive range: Damon can play an amnesiac superspy (The Bourne Identity) as convincingly as a slap-happy Siamese twin (Stuck on You), and Leo can embody a mentally retarded teen with the same ease as he can Howard Hughes (The Aviator). Finally, both have shown a willingness to learn accents, which opens up a slew of casting possibilities. The question is, which one has a better knack for it? If said agent were casting the part of a lisping Tasmanian eunuch, for instance, which actor would he rely on to nail the inflections? There are two particularly tricky accents we can compare them on: South African—which Damon uses in Clint Eastwood’s politico-rugby drama Invictus and DiCaprio learned for 2006’s The Blood Diamond—and South Boston, which both actors pulled off for Martin Scorsese’s The Departed, in a mano-a-mano dialect duel. I called on two friends to help me judge. The first is Ryan, a lawyer from Johannesburg. I showed him the above trailer for Invictus and the below trailer for Blood Diamond. Ryan’s thorough analysis after the jump. As far as their accents go, I don’t really think it’s close—Leo is just unbelievable. Although he’s not perfect, I could believe that he was a South African (he plays a Zimbabwean [in The Blood Diamond], but the accents can be the same). Matt Damon isn’t bad, but it sounds like someone doing an accent more than sounding like a South African. While Leo consistently gets every word right, Matt Damon gets the central words right—for example, at 1:00 in Invictus the “invited” is really good. So it doesn’t really matter that the other words are not perfect. But Leo goes for every word—e.g. at 0:45 in The Blood Diamond trailer, every word is correct except “here” (he overpronounces the “r”), and at 0:55 everything is correct except “told” (it’s too British). At 1:17 in the Invictus trailer, meanwhile, I am not convinced that any of the words are correct except “win”—but that’s the central word so he sounds fine. Another difference between the two is that Leo is doing the accent of an English-speaking South African speaking English, while Matt Damon is doing the accent of an Afrikaans-speaking South African speaking English. So at 2:07 in Invictus, when he says “tiny,” that’s a pretty good Afrikaaner accent, but I, for example, do not pronounce “tiny” like that at all. We also have the accent of indigenous language–speaking South Africans speaking English, which sounds like that guy at 1:30 in >Invictus (that guy is actually South African so he sounds perfect). Meanwhile, I asked dyed-in-the-wool Irish-Bostonian Joe Hickey, a curator and factotum extraordinaire, what he made of DiCaprio and Damon’s Southie accents. His answer was more concise, and confusing, than Ryan’s, but he reached a similar conclusion (which is surprising, since Damon is a Boston native): Even though Damon is from here, his accent in The Departed sounded nothing like it did in Good Will Hunting. Everyone I know thought DiCaprio’s Bawstin accent was much better than Damon’s. So Leo has the edge on accents, barely. But as Sean Connery has proven time and time again—be it with his Scots-inflected Russian rumble in The Hunt for the Red October or his Scots-inflected Irish brogue in Darby Gill in the Little People—it’s not all about the accents and voices. Otherwise, Frank Caliendo would be getting an Oscar. http://www.vanityfair.com/online/oscars/20...ccent-is-better

I wish I could, but isn't that easy <_< ... why Rio? Why not Natal, Fortaleza or any other location nearer to where I live... but who knows, maybe one day... I'm sure I'll meet him one day, even if it's in heaven . Yeah,I cant say whether I'll meet him here too because of my job.

I couldn't say it better, Ox ... that's why I love him... he don't give a shit about what others think or speak . Me too Nanda! Besides GORGEOUS, AMAZING actor and a GREAT HUMAN BEING... we can't forget these other qualities, Pami . BTW, Pami... I'm still thinking about how to save money to go to Rio. He could spend a few days here in RN... I'm sure he would love the beaches, the hospitality . Yeah I know what you mean... Will you come to Rio?

I couldn't say it better, Ox ... that's why I love him... he don't give a shit about what others think or speak . Me too Nanda!

Yeah girls,he's definitely coming to Brazil and I dont know what to prepare for our dinner by candlelight yet,can you help me girls? We know Leo cant dress that well sometimes,but I think Leo is authentic in his choices,he's not worried about what other people will think,he's just...Leo. Ps...If we cant get pics of him in Rio,remember one thing girls...it's not my fault.

Great news girls!! Leo on his twitter... RT: @MatthewKnell Just announced: RIO + SOCIAL conference - June 19, 2012:#rioplussocial @socialgoodtgsm.us/Is4RA7 #mashcon

truer words have never been spoken, haha 2012 seems to be the year of avoiding being photographed at all costs! Oh no, but seems you're right. I guess 2011 was too much paps for him. Yeah I agree with you all,it's good and bad when you have too much paps behind you all the time. But I need to say I miss new pics of him... Hey Barbie,let's see how will be when Leo comes to Brazil,many pics or not...hehe Where's Fash? She hasnt appeared much here.

Aww...that was cute Dramalama,tks for the info!

So I guess it isn't that serious. Like I said, I've never read the script but it seems like they all had small antagonist parts. That's amazing!

Kat & Geegine Thanks for latest Django casting news Seems like the Kurt Russell's leaving won't effect production schedule at all, and , as they mention in the article , Sacha's small scene is the scene that explains how Jamie's love Bromhilda comes to be part of Calvin Candie's stable of girls. Or as the article mentions, they might decide not to recast and skip explaining how Bromhilda came to be with Calvin Candie, just have her with him All I have to say is...Lucky Bromhilda... Tks for the article Kat!

Yes geegine,I do think the same. So many actors dropping out at the same time but I think we dont need to worry about Leo,cause we know it's just a role and a movie and Tarantino likes to create controversy. I was worried about his coming to Brazil as well due to these problems but I think everything will be fine.

Haha you girls are funny! I will follow your advice Oxford!

Yeah me too barbie!In my arms?Sorry princess! Tks for the explanation Oxford!

Leo /Django filming Since I was here last I had a chance to look and see what role Sacha Cohen was playing, and it was a character that has big scenes with Leo's character, so , I guess we know that to they cast the new Scotty , Leo's won't be totally finished his part of the filming. Now I'm worried about his coming to Rio,I dont believe that may happen again...and he had confirmed he would attend this event on facebook and twitter...I'm sad,though I know it's not his fault. Let's see, I still have hope.

Yeah,it's in U$744,114,897 ....

Hey girls... Do you think The Avengers can beat Titanic at the box office?

Django filming I noticed online just now that filming in NO must be behind schedule, as it has changed since last week to the wrap date being June 25th. Though, as we know , that doesn't necessarily mean Leo will be filming that long. Don't worry, Pami, Leo will not let anything keep him from coming to you in June Django Unchained Feature Film Wraps: June 25 Crew Email: [email protected] and [email protected] Oh,I hope so Oxford,I was worried for a moment but I think you're right. Tks for the article,it's a pity that Sasha is no longer in the movie.

Cof Cof Ladies...Oxford and Princess...have you asked my permission to get close to him? Ok...I'm a good girl and all my friends here can share him with him,I'm not pretty sure about Princess,but I can think about it. Jesus,if I were one of those ladies,I would make up all possible excuses to get close to him like..."have you seen my mobile Leo?" Tks for the pics Oxford and tks for all the little things you put here everyday girls,I love you all.

Nice pic oxford!

The Goat Face is the King of Hollywood? Never! Tks for the pics and tweets girls!! Welcome neontiger92!

Leo is an incredible man,he looks good either way.... Loved this quote Nanda!! It's hard for me now to say if Leo and Erin are still together,let's see,let's hope for the best. Dr Brown,cant wait to see him as Jordan Belfort,I'm sure it will be a great movie!

Red Bar...Red Bar...

:shock: :shock: ...?????????? Haha...
