  1. Just some blast fom the past. "Demi recently began developing a film project that calls for a relationship between a younger man and an older woman, and she wanted to meet Leo to see if they had any chemistry." So she used Leo for research? lmao Wondering now if they had "chemistry" and if that "film project" ever happen LOL Not really familiar with her filmography. Only remember the time when she felt for a much older dude. Also this movie always made me questioning my own morals aka who would I bang for 1 million $
  2. Still wish Leos character was the center of the movie -because damn that would have been a hell of a crazy unhealthy ride- on the other hand he would be probably more slammed for working with Woody Allen nowadays lol Leonardo DiCaprio's Titanic Follow-up Perfectly Mocked His Own Image Leonardo DiCaprio plays a very exaggerated version of an out of control young actor in Woody Allen's black and white 1998 comedy Celebrity. After the unrivaled success of James Cameron’s romantic epic Titanic in 1997, leading man Leonardo DiCaprio followed up the blockbuster with a clever supporting role in a Woody Allen movie to mock his massive fame. DiCaprio had been a rising star, emerging from indie teen actor in dramas like What’s Eating Gilbert Grape to heartthrob in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet. But it was his swoon-worthy role as Jack Dawson that kickstarted what the press nicknamed “Leo-Mania.” DiCaprio was everywhere, with fans, critics, and journalists keeping a constant eye on the star. This made his Titanic follow-up an even more surprising choice. Grappling with such intense fame and fandom, perhaps akin to someone like Timothee Chalamet today, the actor chose to follow up his iconic Titanic role in the most polar opposite of ways; a small but showy performance in a black and white Woody Allen comedy aptly called Celebrity. Co-starring Kenneth Branagh, Wynona Ryder, Hank Azaria, Charlize Theron, and Sam Rockwell, the 1998 film pokes fun at a desperate screenplay writer and his relationship with different fictional actors and actresses. Branagh, who stars as the film’s hapless writer protagonist, attempts to get DiCaprio’s character to agree to be in his movie. Though DiCaprio appears for only 10 minutes of screentime, critics and fans of this movie seem to agree he stole the show. DiCaprio, known for his multiple movie deaths, plays Brandon Darrow, a spoiled and emotional young actor who beats up his girlfriend, trashes hotel rooms, travels with an entourage, does copious amounts of drugs, and lives in pure over-the-top excess. The Oscar-winner and environmental activist has said he has refrained from drugs and alcohol and has managed to stay scandal-free when it comes to his personal life – even amid his younger days. Despite that true image, it didn’t stop others from putting him into the same category as other out-of-control male idols. In Celebrity, DiCaprio gets to not only show off his acting chops but even address people’s pigeonholing of him through this performance. The role of Brandon Darrow allowed him to let off some steam while showing how self-aware he was at the time and that people’s expectations of him simply weren’t true. While the Alexandre Dumas adaptation The Man in The Iron Mask was technically his first post-Titanic release, DiCaprio had actually completed his dual roles before Titanic came out, making Celebrity his first true post-Jack Dawson appearance. Audiences tend to remember that film but completely missed out on Celebrity, which was both a critical and commercial disappointment, grossing nearly half of its 12-million-dollar budget. With some critics like Roger Ebert believing it was a retread of Allen’s previous work – the film, for the most part, faded into obscurity. As far as creative and self-expressive choices go, it stands as evidence that DiCaprio was not going to coast on fame or good looks and was instead committed to constantly challenging himself. DiCaprio has shifted significantly from the slender, young heartthrob of the late-1990s, appearing in gritty crime dramas like The Departed and the highly-anticipated Killers of the Flower Moon adaptation. He has proved time and time again that he is one of his generation’s most versatile actors and consistent box office draws. Though he has not done anything remotely as intimate or small as Celebrity, he has still continued to poke fun at his own image in comedy sketches and roles. It’s tough to imagine Leonardo DiCaprio taking on a small role in a Woody Allen comedy today, but at the time, despite the lukewarm reception, something small and fun was the perfect choice to follow something as significant as Titanic.

  8. How Tom Allen plans to entice Leonardo DiCaprio into an interview at Baftas Comic Tom Allen, 38, on co-hosting the Bafta red carpet, potential fashion disasters and handing Leonardo DiCaprio Twiglets. (...) It’s going to be pretty starry. Which A-listers are you hoping to speak to? Obviously, I’d like to get Gaga. And Leo [Leonardo DiCaprio] would be great. How will you tempt them over? Maybe I’ll have an array of crisps? ‘Here! Leo! Do you want a Twiglet?’ Because a lot of people always ask them ‘how does it feel to be nominated?’ whereas if you ask something a little off-centre, like ‘what’s your favourite crisp?’, you can sometimes get more of an insight into who they are as people.

  9. Leonardo DiCaprio donates $10 million to support Ukraine The actor has founded the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation with his family, supporting "sustainable development around the world" Los Angeles: Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio has donated $10 million to support Ukraine, which is fighting against Russia. DiCaprio also has a personal motive. The actor’s maternal grandmother, Helene Indenbirken, was born in Odessa as Jelena Stepanovna Smirnova, reports polishnews.co.uk. In 1917, she emigrated from there with her parents to Germany, where DiCaprio’s mother was born. Raised mainly by his mother DiCaprio, he was also very close to his grandmother, who was a supporter of his career from the beginning. His grandmother, who died in 2008 at the age of 93, almost until the end appeared with her grandson and daughter at the premieres of his films, which is reminiscent of the American industry media on the occasion of generous support for Ukraine. DiCaprio allocated as much as USD 10 million to support Ukraine and did not plan to announce it to the whole world. The information was announced by the International Visegrad Fund — a project of the Visegrad Group aimed at financial support for international initiatives. Following him, the American media repeated it. Six-time Oscar-nominated actor and producer, winner of a gold statuette for his role in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarrit’s ‘Revenant’, he has been writing “actor and ecologist” in the profession column for years. The artist has long been involved in initiatives devoted to combating the climate catastrophe. Already in 1998, as a 25-year-old, he founded the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation with his family, supporting “sustainable development around the world”. Source

  12. 10 Hollywood stars with Ukrainian roots: from DiCaprio to Stallone, learn about their stories The world is shocked by the war between Ukraine and Russia. At the moment, thousands of people fear for their lives due to the invasion of those commanded by Vladimir Putin in several Ukrainian towns. War is no stranger to Hollywood, as Ukraine – the second largest country in Europe – is rich in culture and art. It is, therefore, the birthplace of several celebrities who today are big names in the film, music and television industries. From Leonardo DiCaprio, through Sylvester Stallone or the actress Mila Kunis, many artists have their family roots in Ukraine, learn about their stories here. Leonardo Dicaprio Elena, the grandmother of Leonardo DiCaprio was born in the Ukraine. She was a very important figure in the education of the actor. With Leonardo DiCaprio there is a very curious situation. The actor believed that he had Russian roots from his grandmother, Elena Smirnova, who hailed from Odessa. However, it was only recently that the actor and activist learned that the city is from Ukraine, not Russia. Elena escaped from the Ukraine to Germany with her family. She got married there, but was cheated on by her husband with another woman. During World War II, Elena fled to the United States, because of her origins she could be the target of anti-Semites. Elena became a very important figure in the education of her grandson Leonardo, as the artist has recognized in many interviews. Source
  13. ^Wondering again what Leo is thinking about it - both, that horrible report and that horrible war. It must be really a nightmare for someone that passionate for the planet. Maybe not as bad as the people who're actually living this nightmare day and night right now but still... So far he didn't comment any of it nor donated he for the ukraine.
  14. ^ I also find some celebs not attractive others would claim the person is 🔥. It's nothing special. What I would never do is to post it on twitter because who cares? lol
  15. ^gosh so true. social media platforms are full of those wannabe looking Leos; this one isn't asian but still LOL It's kinda hilarious how one side isn't getting tired about claiming how ugly Leo is while the other side is desperate to look like him lmao #power of leo Sometimes I don't know what annoys me more: the obsession with "young Leo" or the absurdity to call Leo these days ugly.
  16. Leonardo DiCaprio’s Sustainable Investments and the DeLorean Goes Electric Leonardo DiCaprio continues his support of the environment with his latest sustainable investment.

  17. Leonardo DiCaprio to Executive Produce Sitting Bull Documentary for The History Channel The documentary is set to be a four-part event. Sitting Bull, a four-part docuseries about the legendary Lakota chief, is headed to The History Channel. The series has begun production with Appian Way Productions, Stephen David Entertainment, and IllumiNative serving as the main production companies. Hunkpapa Lakota leader, Sitting Bull, led the Lakota tribe in the resistance fight against years of United States government policies forced upon his people. In December 1890, at the age of 59, he was murdered during an attempted arrest by the Indian agency police on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. The police force attempted the arrest out of growing fears that he would join the oppositional Ghost Dance movement. Those in charge of the production are ensuring that the series will have Lakota community insight and involvement, as Larry Pourier, an Oglala Lakota consultant with two decades of experience advising Native American media, is announced as a guide for the project. Also, a Native woman-led non-profit organization dedicated to Native American representation in media will also provide consultants and advisors that plan to collaborate with Pourier to provide accurate content in all aspects of the docuseries’ production. Sitting Bull will involve expert interviews, premium reenactments, and valuable archival material to provide a detailed look into important moments and figures in Native American history. Some content the series will cover includes Battle of Little Big Horn, Washita Massacre, Crazy Horse, Battle of Cedar Creek, and the Wounded Knee Massacre. Major leaders of Sitting Bull’s production include Stephen David as executive producer for Stephen David Entertainment; Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Davisson, and Phillip Watson as executive producers for Appian Way Productions; Crystal Echo Hawk as executive producer for IllumiNative; and Pourier also serving as executive producer. History Channel’s executive producers will be Mary E. Donahue and Zachary Behr. Executive Vice President and Head of Programming for The History Channel, Eli Lehrer, issued a statement in a press release regarding Sitting Bull’s production, stating the following: We are privileged to partner again with Leo and Stephen and collaborate with Larry and IllumiNative to bring to life a crucial chapter of American history through new voices and perspectives both in front of and behind the camera. The docuseries promises to provide a new perspective on the legendary historical figure beyond the United States legend taught in grade school history books. The creators of the series claim that this docuseries will portray Sitting Bull as more than just a fierce warrior by exploring the other sides to the leader, including as both a loving father and a holy man of his people. The behind-the-scenes involvement of modern-day Oglala Lakota members gives more hope for the delivery of this promise in the final result. Source
  18. I watched West Side Story yesterday and can't help but it reminded so much of CMIYC (maybe because of the period and the music and the spielberg style/look of the 50s/60s) that I started at some point to replace Ansels shitty face just with Leos It worked pretty well for me LOL I wish Spielberg wouldn't have cast the Elgort kid in the main role because the movie was pretty amazing... the setting, the dancing, the singing, the story, the message, the visuals, the acting... loved it 😍 It deserved more than being overshadowed by one shitty person. So I recommend just watch the movie and blend out that d!ck.
