DO LOOK UP, LEO! Leonardo DiCaprio can’t keep his eyes off girlfriend Camila Morrone on Caribbean beach Source

Lots of backlash for Leo again these days at least this article is a bit funny with starting categorising the article under "transportation" lmao Just Try to Keep Leonardo DiCaprio Off a Yacht, I Dare You You can’t! Why would you want to?! Did you have a nice little New Year’s holiday? Did you watch the whole of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City in one big gulp? Maybe you drove somewhere new since flying is so complicated these days. Off to a ski resort a few hours north as the interstate flies, hm? Spent a couple precious hours on this earth drying out cold, wet socks from the last run down the mountain, maybe? Well, that all sounds lovely, but unfortunately for mere mortals everywhere, it will never be as lovely as what Leonardo DiCaprio is up to. Leonardo DiCaprio! He of the movies fame. You know, Titanic. What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. Catch Me If You Can. The Revenant. Most recently, the Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up. This guy, would you believe it, was on a yacht. Of course you believe it. This guy loves yachts. The man simply cannot get enough of them. He is like an oenophile, traversing the lands, grabbing up whatever fermented grapes Dionysus has left us down here. Like, if there is a rare and elegant wine, he’s tried it or wants to try it—but with yachts. So this week he’s been chartering Swiss billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli’s yacht, which is called Vava II, in St. Barts. The Vava II has its own Wikipedia page. It’s reported to cost $150 million and sleep about 50 guests and crew members, and frankly, that’s a lot for a boat! Those things are on water! Friend and capo of the fabled Pussy Posse Lukas Haas was there, as was DiCaprio’s girlfriend, 24-year-old Camila Morrone. Per the Daily Mail, they even went shopping with the editor in chief of British Vogue, Edward Enninful, which I imagine is something like shooting hoops with LeBron James. Before all the shopping and the lounging on deck chairs with Haas and the strolling around St. Barts, DiCaprio celebrated New Year’s on the island alongside Jeff Bezos and partner Lauren Sanchez, Drake, and yacht owner himself Bertarelli. It is where this historic photo was taken. Anyway, hope those socks dried out okay. Source

So happy for him and so well deserved In other news which included Leo and Andrew again... kinda: ‘Spider-Man’ Passes ‘Titanic’ On All-Time Box Office List

I watched -beside of DLU- a couple of other "oscar contenders" on netflix when the forum was down and I had lots of free time. Let's go. THE POWER OF DOG (Jane Campion) 1. Can't help but loved this scene, so aesthetic among a couple of others. Also this movie gave me strong J. Edgar lost in Brokeback Mountain vibes clearly nothing I've expected. Actually I thought it was a movie of hate and not love. I liked it a LOT BETTER than Dune lmao Great chemistry between Cumberbatch and Kodi Smit-McPhee. So if Benedict wins Best actor I would be fine with it, I think he nailed the role just beautifully even though I have to agree the movie was a bit slow sometimes. 6/10 TICK TICK...BOOM! (Lin-Manuel Miranda) 2. I'm in love with both of them For me Andrew Garfield is one of a few actors who comes near to the emotional range of Leo and he did have a lot of emotions in this musical. Love him since Never let me go. Alexandra Shipp is so beautiful I could watch her for the rest of my life and be happy with it. So if Andrew would win that little golden fucker of an oscar HELL YES he deserves everything good in this world after those Sony motherfuckers treated him like crap still my favorite spider man. 9/10 THE LOST DAUGHTER (Maggie Gyllenhaal) 3. Now this was a little weird movie. But I like weird and the stacked, beautiful cast around the great Olivia Colman, jeez I'm still sobbing -Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Paul Mescal, Peter Saarsgard, Ed Harris- circeling around the though topic of troubled motherhood was intense to watch. 7/10 In short: 2021 was a blessed year for Netflix.

Some people don't see the magic of Leo I don't see anything special about Dwayne Johnson. Fight me.

Goldderby about Leos oscar shots for DLU and his star power. Oscar Experts Typing: Who will round out the Best Actor lineup? Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! We’re back with Best Actor on the brain. Between today and Christmas, the final two top contenders for an Oscar nomination will make landfall — albeit in a pair of supremely limited releases: Peter Dinklage in “Cyrano” and Denzel Washington in “The Tragedy of Macbeth.” Those actors have been hanging around the consensus since September and join Will Smith, Benedict Cumberbatch and Andrew Garfield to make up what feels like the chalk list of Best Actor nominees. But at the risk of throwing a monkey wrench into the proceedings — and with due respect to relative underdog contenders like Leonardo DiCaprio, Joaquin Phoenix, Javier Bardem, Nicolas Cage and Jude Hill — is it possible we’ve all been focused on the wrong Bradley Cooper performance when it comes to Oscar bona fides. Out in a much wider release on Friday is “Nightmare Alley,” and while we’ve talked about how the Guillermo del Toro film should clean up in the crafts categories, I can’t help but feel like I’ve shortchanged its above-the-line chances — particularly here in Best Actor. Cooper has already gotten some of his best reviews yet for the film and his performance, as we’ve noted, ends with a bang: it would be easy to suggest Cooper has never been better than in the closing moments of “Nightmare Alley.” That work, coupled with his stellar comedic plus-sized cameo in “Licorice Pizza” suggests to me that Cooper will make a serious run at one of these five slots. (In this equation, Cooper’s “Pizza” performance is akin to “Greg sprinkles.”) But if Cooper ends up getting nominated — and I end up changing my Best Actor predictions to get him in — who will wind up snubbed? Looking at that top five, it’s hard to pick someone to leave off. I guess the smart bet would be either Dinklage or Washington, but both of them have gotten their best reviews ever as well. What do you make of this scrum, Joyce? And once you untangle that web, who do you think will come out on top? joyceeng: Is that a Spider-Man reference? Because obviously Tom Holland will come out on top this weekend. It’s funny how everyone was predicting two acting nominations for Cooper at the beginning of the season and now there’s a pretty realistic chance he might go 0-2. He is very good in “Nightmare Alley,” but at the same time, I’m not quite sure that’s the kind of performance the academy gravitates towards. It’s a controlled and skilled turn, and yes, his best stuff is in the very last scene (if his “Licorice Pizza” cameo is Greg sprinkles, then this final moment is “Boo, souls!”). Perhaps in a weaker year he’d stand a better chance. I have not had Cooper in my five for a while and have not added him back in since seeing “Nightmare Alley” (on the contrary, I just took him out of supporting too). With Garfield coming on strong, there’s a consensus quartet of him, Smith, Cumberbatch and Washington. Denzel can make it just for being Denzel, and we all remember the “Roman J. Israel, Esq.” nom. It feels like the final spot is between Dinklage and DiCaprio, and this will be a test of Leo’s power. “Don’t Look Up” has been savaged in reviews, but I can see the industry backing the film, and DiCaprio is great in it with a meaty “Network”-esque rant. And while Dinklage does not hit a false, uh, note in “Cyrano,” are we really gonna get two musical performances in here? Christopher Rosen: I guess the reason I’m slightly more bullish on Dinklage is that I think he’s all but assured of a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination — this despite the fact that “Cyrano” is an extremely late entry into the race and it’s hard to even gauge how many people even know it’s coming. But at Telluride, way back when, Dinklage received a big tribute. He’s worked with everyone, has a great reputation, and is already an acclaimed star and award winner thanks to “Game of Thrones.” It feels like he could get in at the SAG Awards before even accounting for the performance, which is stellar. So if he’s in at SAG and momentum starts to build (he’s already among the nominees at the Critics Choice Awards), I think Dinklage would have the inside track ahead of DiCaprio. But I remain curious to see if Washington can make it all the way through. To be clear, it seems likely: with Daniel Day-Lewis retired, I think you could make the argument Washington is the best male actor currently working and his reviews for “Macbeth” are off the charts. So if I’m going to put Cooper in, and Dinklage is in too, and Cumberbatch and Garfield feel locked, does that mean it’s between Washington and Smith? And if that’s the case, does that mean Smith — the presumed favorite — is actually an underdog? joyceeng: I hesitate to call Dinklage a lock at SAG — sure, they nominated him for “The Station Agent” pre-“Game of Thrones,” but Leo is still the biggest movie star on the planet and holds the SAG record for most individual nominations among males on the film side. “Don’t Look Up” also hits Netflix — SAG’s favorite streaming service — on Christmas Eve so it could take off then, and SAG voting ends Jan. 9. I guess you can also wonder if three Netflix stars are gonna make the Best Actor Oscar lineup. It would be hilarious if Cooper got in at the expense of DiCaprio though since the latter was initially circling “Nightmare Alley.” I think people entertained a Washington win in the fall — including us! — but this may just be a contest between the top two of Smith and Cumberbatch. “The Power of the Dog” is clearly the strongest out of all of these guys’ films and Cumberbatch has been crushing the critics awards circuit. Smith can absolutely turn the tide at the televised awards — I don’t think anyone expected him to dominate the critics awards, but I also don’t think anyone expected him underperform as he has either. There’s also the X factor of Garfield, whose Tick, Tick… Boom!” performance seemingly has more passion than that of all of the other contenders. You can even argue that maybe he has monopolized the inspirational, feel-good corner that Smith’s “King Richard” turn is going after. Garfield’s also now in third place in the odds. I’m not going to go as far to say he’ll win the Oscar yet, but I can see him winning over a populist group like SAG-AFTRA. Am I onto something or should I come to my senses? Christopher Rosen: Joyce, if you’re looking for me to stop the clock or take time out, you’ve come to the wrong place. I’m basically two weeks or less away from pushing Garfield into the top of my Oscar predictions. I really think he can win the whole thing! When was the last time there was this much passion for an actor and a performance in this category? Seriously, I’m asking. Maybe Matthew McConaughey for “Dallas Buyers Club”? Maybe? I don’t even know. Sure, this could be anecdotal. Perhaps my highly curated Twitter feed and conversation group is not really indicative of broad Oscar support for Garfield as a potential winner. But when I see “Tick, Tick… Boom!” getting legitimate Best Picture buzz basically on the back of enthusiasm for Garfield, I have to wonder if he’ll just waltz to a victory. In fact, what if the comp here is the 2014 race, when both Cooper and Cumberbatch were nominated, Michael Keaton stood for months as the seeming veteran favorite who was going to win a long-deserved Oscar, and Eddie Redmayne upstarted his way to victory? joyceeng: If you’re suggesting that Keaton should have an Oscar by now, I wholeheartedly concur (tell Leo). Stephen Hawking is as baity a role as you can get, so ultimately Redmayne’s victory isn’t that shocking. He turned the tables on Keaton at the SAG Awards, so maybe Garfield can start his late surge there too. Jonathan Larson’s plight in the musical — an ambitious creative struggling to keep at it — is also highly relatable to the those in the industry, and the fact that we all know he tragically, cruelly ran out of time and never tasted his success adds an extra layer of poignancy. There could also be some other external factors at play in both Garfield’s and Cumberbatch’s campaigns, but perhaps that’s a web to weave another day. Source

Exes Leo DiCaprio, Nina Agdal run into each other at Miami Art Week Hate seeing your ex at a party? Leonardo DiCaprio and Nina Agdal had a run-in during a Miami Art Week party that should set the template for us all. We’re told the pair — who dated for nearly a year before breaking up in 2017 — “were sitting across from each other” at a Galore and ARTchive launch party at Socialista and “said a friendly hello and chatted for a moment.” But the bash wasn’t the only one that newly single Agdal, 29, and DiCaprio, 47, both attended last week. They were also spotted at a Wayne and Cynthia Boich-hosted event for watch brand Richard Mille. “Leo kept such a low profile, with his hat down and mask on throughout the night, that guests, and even Nina, didn’t notice he was there,” said a spy at the “After Dark” party.

Leo the naked hero Leonardo DiCaprio Jumped Into A Frozen Lake To Save His Dogs And Then Promptly Stripped Naked (Yes, Naked) In A Car To Warm Up Afterward Don't worry, the doggies (and Leo) are fine! What the hell was going on during the production of Don't Look Up? While Adam McKay's political satire has already hit theaters, its press cycle doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon in preparation for its Christmas Eve premiere on Netflix. I mean, in just the past few weeks we've heard some pretty wild set stories. And the four stories I linked above — Meryl Streep forgetting to act, and Jennifer Lawrence getting high for a scene, swallowing her nose ring, and losing a tooth, respectively — don't even include the other quirks that unfolded during filming. There was Leo rewriting a scene 15 times. And then the GOAT debacle. As well as the nude scene revelation. Which brings me to the latest on-set calamity — Leo's rescued huskies decided to take a dip in a frozen lake, prompting the Oscar winner to jump in after them! During Entertainment Weekly's Around the Table panel — which featured the director, Leo, J.Law, Meryl, Jonah Hill, and Tyler Perry — the actor was encouraged by his castmates to recount the story. "The funniest thing was, Leo has these two rescue huskies that are just absolute tornadoes," McKay said. "Jonah [who roomed with Leo during the shoot] would send me pictures of your ripped-apart couch." Jennifer chimed in, adding, "Tell the frozen lake story." Essentially, one of the huskies fell into the lake, so Leo dove after them. "[Living in California] I didn't understand what you do at a frozen lake," the actor continued. I am trying very hard to spare you from a Titanic joke right now. You're welcome. "One of the dogs fell in, and he jumped in the frozen lake to save the dog and as soon as he pushed the one dog out of the pond the other one jumped in," Jennifer shared. "The other one started licking the one that was drowning and then we all were in the frozen lake together," Leo added. Obviously, Leo and his dogs ended up OK, but what happened next? Well, according to Jennifer: "I'm sure you guys are all wondering, I was too, he immediately got naked in the car." Jennifer, is there, like, photo evidence of this to corroborate? Strictly for journalistic purposes, of course. Sigh, it seems as though Leo's battle with all bodies of water wages on. Source

Astronomer Amy Mainzer Spent Hours Chatting With Leonardo DiCaprio for Netflix's 'Don't Look Up' The film's science adviser shares what it was like working with the star-studded cast, and what we can learn from the disaster flick about science denialism. Astronomer Amy Mainzer is no stranger to asteroid-hunting. Mainzer is a professor at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona and serves as the principal investigator for NEOWISE, a NASA mission that uses an infrared space telescope to scour the skies for space debris. She'll soon lead the project's successor, the Near-Earth Object Surveyor Mission, a planetary defense project that aims to find and catalogue comets and asteroids that could pose a threat to our planet. If Mainzer's work sounds strikingly similar to the premise for Don't Look Up, Netflix's new disaster-comedy flick about a pair of astronomers who struggle to warn mankind about a comet on a crash course with Earth, that's because it is. Director Adam McKay — known for screwball comedies like Anchorman and, more recently, sociopolitical satires like The Big Short and Vice — tapped Mainzer as the movie's science adviser a few years back. In that capacity, she played a major role in helping sculpt the film's dialogue and characters, including astronomer Randall Mindy, who is played with believably neurotic energy by Leonardo DiCaprio. Mainzer recently caught up with Discover about hunting for space rocks, chatting with Meryl Streep via iPad and the invaluable role that scientists can play in an increasingly science-phobic society. Q: Your research focuses on understanding small bodies in our solar system, like asteroids, and the potential impact hazard they pose to Earth. What got you interested in that? A: It’s funny, it’s not where I started out. But one of the great things about working on different kinds of telescopes is that you survey all kinds of different things. From an observer’s standpoint, asteroids and comets are a lot of fun because they’re constantly moving. That means there’s a lot of activity and action associated with chasing these objects around the sky. Then from a scientific standpoint, they have a lot to teach us about the formation of the solar system and how we got to be here. And, of course, we like to be able to answer questions about the impacts themselves. Q: In your work, have there been any near-misses, or asteroids that have come close to hitting us? A: No, and one of the important things here is to consider the risk of impacts from these objects in the context of lots of other risks. In the spacecraft world, we quantify risk as the likelihood of something occurring vs. the consequence that it could have. For asteroids and comets, the likelihood [of impact] is very, very small. But the consequences can potentially be severe. So, because of that, we would consider this a medium risk. Which means you don’t have to run around with your hair on fire. But we don’t want to completely ignore it, either. From my standpoint, the proper response to this kind of threat is to go, ‘Well, okay, let’s go look for the asteroids and see if there are any specific objects out there that, in the next 100 years, have any sort of chance of having a close approach to the Earth.’ Q: Don’t Look Up follows a long lineage of movies about asteroids colliding with Earth, like Armageddon and Deep Impact. Did movies like that have any sort of impact on you as an astronomer? A: It’s funny, I’m probably one of the only asteroid scientists who can say I’ve seen neither Deep Impact nor Armageddon; I haven’t watched either one. But it is true that science fiction has a really powerful role to play in helping us to envision the future and think about possible future outcomes. And we can use that to say, ‘We don’t want that future; we want a different future.’ The movie has a very important message, which is that we don’t have to choose this particular future; we can choose a different outcome for ourselves. And it’s not just about the comet impact that’s shown in the movie. This is pertinent to a whole host of issues that we face as a society, whether it’s climate change or the pandemic or extreme weather events. Q: How did you first get involved as the science adviser for Don’t Look Up? Did the filmmakers approach you? A: So [director] Adam [McKay] actually got in touch with me about more than two years ago. It’s been quite a while. He reached out and told me he’d been looking for someone to talk to about this movie so he looked me up. He reached out to me through a contact at NASA that I had, who put us in touch. I’m a huge fan of his other work, because he’s such a careful thinker and he’s of course really funny. But we just had a great conversation about making a movie that tackled all of these subjects — about science denialism and the importance of understanding and agreeing what is true and what is fact. As soon as we had that conversation, I was like, ‘That’s it. I’m sold. I want to do whatever I can to help out here.’ Q: What was it like working with the cast and crew? Were you on set during filming at all or was it virtual because of the pandemic? A: Things were so different because of the pandemic. Netflix was super careful about the whole process. And I wasn’t able to travel, because this all took place when vaccination was really rare and hadn’t been widely deployed in the U.S. So I was there on set on an iPad. They just sort of wheeled me around, which was really funny. [Laughs] But it worked really well. Meryl Streep stood for a very long time in front of my iPad. I think they had to ask her to move at one point. But it was a great experience. These are really legendary actors for a reason; they’re really smart and capable at portraying the humanity in the characters they play. I had a lot of really great conversations over the couple of years with all of them. In particular, I spent a lot of time talking with Leo [DiCaprio] and Rob Morgan about their characters. As the scientists, they had a really important role to represent science, and to represent how scientists think. I thought they did a great job. Q: Yeah, I've read that you spent a lot of time talking with DiCaprio in particular. What was the focus of those conversations? A: One of the things we talked about a lot is that scientists will knock themselves silly trying to get the word out. Because that’s what we do. A really big part of science is replicability and peer-review; you’ll hear that mentioned over and over again in the movie. Scientists really want people to look at their work and confirm it; that’s a big part of science. We talked about ways that you can see the characters struggling to be clear and get the word out and talk to other scientists. And it doesn’t always go well. Sometimes things can happen that can subvert that process. We talked a lot about how scientists can get marginalized by special interests; by conspiracy theories; and how frustrating that is — when you have news that’s important that you have to share because you know you can solve problems if you can just get the word out about it and get other people to take action. We had dozens and dozens of conversations about this; about how scientists feel when they are ignored. Q: Can you see the remnants of any of those conversations in the actors’ dialogue or performances? A: All of those pieces of dialogue that you see, we went over and over and over. You see Leo or Jennifer [Lawrence] or Rob trying to … there’s a couple of really big moments in the movie for them as scientists where they have their big speech where they really get to say what’s on their minds. There’s a lot of me in there. Q: From a scientific or technical perspective, was there anything you wanted to make sure the cast or crew understood correctly? Say, when it came to the proper way of searching for comets, or the terminology, or anything you wanted to make sure was represented accurately on screen? A: Leo, in particular, did a fabulous job with some very complex technical material. They had to learn quite a bit about how asteroid discovery works and how to characterize orbits and all of that. But, fundamentally, I think the thing that they did very well, and that I was really interested in making sure that they knew, is that science tries to tell the truth. We really try. We try to tell the truth about the way that we see the world working around us, based on empirical evidence. In any given situation, scientists are going to try to get the truth out there. They’re going to try to tell what we know. They’re going to try to make sure that other scientists can replicate the work. That’s a strength of science. And that’s a unique way that science operates — it self-corrects. And it may be messy. We may not always get the right answer the first time, but we’re going to get more data and that’s going to allow us to refine our answers. To me, it was really important that they all understood that. And they all got that immediately and really infused it into their characters. Q: Is there anything that director Adam McKay or the actors asked you about? What questions did they have for you as science adviser? A: One of the things we talked about a lot is science denialism — what do you do? If you’re a scientist, and you have information that needs to be shared, and people ignore you, what’s the right thing to do? So you’ll see that debate played out in the movie, and there are a few key scenes where this happens. You’ll see the scientists debating [things like], ‘Do we go out and protest in the streets? Or do we try to engage with people who are in power?’ Because very often, scientists are not empowered to make change based on the knowledge that we gain. We can learn about what’s happening, and we can make recommendations, based on the science, that we know are likely to work. But we, personally, are not the people who are empowered to be able to do this. Q: Are you pleased with what ended up on screen in terms of the movie’s adherence to scientific accuracy and the overall messaging? Where does it diverge from real-life? A: We very quickly veer into the realm of science fiction. We don’t know of any giant comet hurtling toward Earth, and that’s a really good thing. Right off the bat, we’re in sci-fi territory. That said, there are a few places where you’ll see that the movie is obviously science fiction, and it postulates technology that we don’t have yet and that isn’t quite there. But it’s also not the main point; the main point is that I hope people see scientists portrayed as human beings, in all of our flaws and all of our glories. And I hope they come away from it knowing science a little bit better. That knowledge, hopefully, will help in building trust in science as a process. Yes, it’s obvious science fiction, but I think it has some important points to make about the value of science in our lives. Q: The filmmakers and actors haven’t been shy about the fact that the movie was conceived as a parable for climate change. There are also some striking similarities to the past few years during the pandemic. With that in mind, what else do you hope audiences take away with them after the credits roll? A: I hope people take away from this movie that the situation is not hopeless. And what happens next, with regard to climate change, or the pandemic, or a host of issues, is up to us. If we make good, science-based decisions, both in our lives and as a society, we can have better outcomes. We can directly impact the future in a positive way; we don’t have to choose the negative path. We can choose a better way. That’s up to us. Source

BOL is finally getting some love on netflix while DLU is killing it at the same time at the box office despite the limited release A middling Leonardo DiCaprio thriller is killing it on Netflix The Oscar-winning star is no stranger to success, as can be seen by his multi-decade career, and therefore it’s no surprise to see one of Leonardo DiCaprio’s films also finding success as it rises up the Netflix charts. The action thriller Body of Lies has been taking out the competition to make its way to number eight on the most-watched movies on Netflix as per FlixPatrol. The film follows Roger Ferris (DiCaprio) as he hunts down a powerful terrorist leader, but things get complicated when politics and lies begin to take their toll. A film is almost guaranteed success when you have a star such as DiCaprio leading the way, but when you add other A-listers such as Russel Crowe, Oscar Isaac, who will star in Marvel’s upcoming Moon Knight, and Mark Strong, you get a film that is sure to blow audiences away. Add four-time Oscar nominee Ridley Scott as director, and it will be no surprise when the film brings in millions, which is exactly what Body of Lies did, $115 million in fact. This isn’t always a recipe for success though, as can be seen by Scott’s recent film The Last Duel which bombed at the box office. Why did it do so bad? Well, Scott infamously blamed millennials for ruining the movie’s chance at success. Since the film’s release in 2008, DiCaprio has gone on to make many more hits such as the comedy Don’t Look Up which recently hit cinemas and is set to come out on Netflix on the 24th of this month. Despite DiCaprio having a problem with a Meryl Streep nude scene, the film has had no other issues and has gone on to find success, pulling in $500,000 worldwide in just under a week since its release. With DiCaprio leading the way, Body of Lies is sure to continue rising up the charts as it entertains viewers from the comfort of their own homes. With plenty of mystery and action, it’s sure to blow you away. Source

^I watched DLU last night again and I think I liked it even better than the first time That's the movie magic of Leo for me to watch his movies again and again and never ever getting bored Just for the lmao literally 👇 Leonardo DiCaprio, Guardian of Butts Please clap, ladies: Chivalry isn’t dead. It’s alive and well and living inside of Leonardo DiCaprio, at least if you are “film royalty” like Meryl Streep. The Guardian reports that DiCaprio vigorously defended Streep’s butt’s honor on the set of Don’t Look Up, arguing with the director on its behalf when it came time for — sorry to spoil — Streep’s butt’s nude scene. Some context for the movie: Streep plays fictional U.S. president Janie Orlean, one of the many public figures actively ignoring and even concealing an oncoming comet disaster in what the filmmakers intended as a climate-change allegory. For our purposes, you only need know that our first woman president is a former nude model with a (trendy) lower-back tattoo — by my count, that’s three glass ceilings shattered — who at some point showcases her naked behind for the camera. According to director Adam McKay, Streep seemed unfazed by her cheeky cameo. “She is fearless,” McKay told the Guardian. “She didn’t even blink. She didn’t even bring it up.” “But you know who had a problem with it?” McKay continued. “Leo.” And why might that be? “Leo just views Meryl as film royalty … although maybe royalty is not a compliment … but as such a special figure in the history of film,” McKay explained. “He didn’t like seeing her with the lower back tattoo, walking for a second naked. He said something to me like: ‘Do you really need to show that?’ And I was like: ‘It’s President Orlean; it’s not Meryl Streep.’” They wound up going with a body double, allegedly because DiCaprio (like his co-stars) views Streep as the G.O.A.T., even if she doesn’t know or really care to know what that means. Anyway, what’s interesting to me is that DiCaprio clutched his pearls at the thought of audiences seeing Streep’s bare ass when Streep herself gave no hoots. Not to suggest that DiCaprio, who dated a series of very young models before settling down with his current girlfriend — 24-year-old model Camila Morrone — ca. 2017, might have a hang-up about women aging or anything like that. I’m sure this is just a respect thing, totally, 100 percent. Source

Just for the holy crap

Btw, am I the only one who was buffled by the cast of Leos adult sons in DLU? They truly looked like a mix of Leo and Melanie Lynskey especially the one with the glasses, holy crap Leonardo DiCaprio is Finally a Dad! In Satire “Don’t Look Up” He Plays the Father of Two Adult Sons We’re still a ways off from getting into the nitty gritty of Adam McKay’s “Don’t Look Up.” But while we wait, ponder this: Leonardo DiCaprio is now old enough to play the father of adult children. Believe it or not, and I can’t, Leo is now 47 years old. Okay, I’m sitting down. It was 30 years ago — like Adele’s 30 — when Leo was a teenager on “Growing Pains.” It was 1993 when he broke through with the combination of “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?” and “This Boy’s Life.” I have a clear memory of interviewing Leo over lunch in 1993. I was 12, which means he was a baby. Over the years, DiCaprio has played a lot of roles, but never an onscreen Dad, not even to small children. He won an Oscar for tousling with a bear. Maybe he had kids in “Wolf of Wall Street,” but his character was too high on Quaaludes to know who they were. In “Catch Me If You Can,” he was a son of Christopher Walken. In Scorsese films, he’s had a lot of things to do, but nothing involved progeny. And yet, as a respected astronomer and scientist in “Don’t Look Up,” Leo’s got two sons at home. The actors who play them are 25 years old. His character is also married to an age appropriate woman played Melanie Lynskey. Indeed, in “Don’t Look Up,” DiCaprio — who used to be The Kid — is sort of avuncular toward Timothee Chalamet. Think of this: Leo used to be Timothee Chalamet. And so it goes, right? The circle of life. PS It kind of makes sense if you think about it. DiCaprio’s most famous role was as Jack in “Titanic.” His love interest was Kate Winslet. In “Mare of Easttown,” Kate had a grandchild! Really, now I’m taking a nap! Source Some words of one of Leos on screen sons about his DLU on set expierence Conor Sweeney: This whole experience has been more than I could have ever asked. I am so excited to share this movie with you all. I am honored, overwhelmed, overjoyed. My dreams have come true and I am pinching myself every day. I am so grateful. Shooting this movie in the height of the second wave in early 2021 was a whirlwind. I isolated on Cape Cod for a month by myself to be extra safe, then a week in a hotel room, and then finally made it to set. And what a set it was. Melanie Lynskey was the best scene partner an actor could ask for, so giving and caring and strong. Her performance is truly stunning, as she is. I am so lucky to know you. Leonardo DiCaprio was the best dad, leading us all into the ending with dad jokes and trivia. A true star. Jennifer Lawrence led with grace and power all while keeping it light and fun. She is truly a blast to work with and just as delightful as you would hope. Timothée Chalamet was the kindest, most generous actor and person whilst simultaneously making us all cry laughing from his improv. A truly special one. Rob Morgan taught me how much strength there is in stillness and how lucky we all are. He is a Force. And the best on screen brother, Robert Radochia, I’m so glad we got to go through this whirlwind together. You rock and I’m so pumped for the world to see. Adam McKay leads with humor, humility, and the desire to collaborate. He is a leader in all the greatest senses and I am so lucky he wanted to have me there and trusted me to play around with some of the greats. Wow. I could keep going on and on, I am so stinkin excited. I love this movie so much and hope you do too. It’s hilarious, gut punching, filled with rage and with love. After living in my brain every day every hour for the past year, it is finally here, for you. I hope you enjoy ❤️ And remember, Just Look Up 🌏☄️👆 Source

7 Of Leonardo Dicaprio's Exes On What It Was Like To Date Him (And Why They Broke Up) Leonardo Dicaprio is known as one of the most famous bachelors of our time, with a long history of girlfriends and flings. He stole the hearts of young girls after his breakthrough role in Baz Luhrmann's William Shakespeare's "Romeo + Juliet" (1996) and soon after in James Cameron's "Titanic" (1997). With his attractive looks, impressive acting experience, and his charming personality, he has amassed quite the list of ex-girlfriends — including fellow actors and models. Currently, Dicaprio is with actress and model, double threat, Camila Morrone who is a rising star in Hollywood. The two have been dating since 2017 and even quarantined together during the pandemic. While it's not too safe to say the two are going to last, let's see what went wrong in his past relationships and what his exes have to say about dating the iconic bachelor. Bridget Hall The first of Leonardo's exes who was a model is Bridget Hall who was 17-years-old when they met in 1994 and Leo was 20-years-old. The two were seen attending several events together in 1994, and according to an interview with the Vogue cover girl in New York Magazine “nothing happened." However, that was the opposite of what tabloids were saying at the time like the Globe that quoted her saying, “He was lousy in bed. [It] was bad.” Gisele Bundchen After his longer two-year fling with model Kristen Zang from 1996-1998, Dicaprio found Gisele two years later in 2000. She was the first and only girlfriend (so far) that lasted five years, which is almost as long as Dicaprios's relationship with his current girlfriend Morrone. In her memoir, "Lessons: My Path To A Meaningful Life," Bundchen said she broke up with him because she didn't want to numb herself with distractions like, "smoking, drinking, and too much work, I was becoming more and more aware of things that I'd chosen not to look at." She said she needed to do some "serious soul-searching while he stayed the same." Bar Refaeli After Gisele, Decaprio began dating Israeli model Bar Refaeli — they were on and off from 2005-2011. Refaeli had nothing but nice things to say about Decaprio after their final split. A source told The New York Post at the time, "It was amicable, they're still friends and they are still talking. They just grew apart and went their separate ways. Neither are ready to settle down, and both have busy careers that have been taking them in different directions." Blake Lively Blake Lively was famously known for dating Dicaprio for five months in 2011 before she started dating her now-husband, Ryan Reynolds, who she met on the set of "Green Lantern" in 2010. It seems like Lively and Dicaprio had a good time while it lasted — they met in 2011 on Steven Spielberg’s yacht in Monte Carlo for the Cannes Film Festival. The two were captured multiple times together on dates in Venice, Los Angeles, and NYC. Kelly Rohrbach After dating blonde models Erin Heatherton from 2011-2012 and Toni Garrn from 2013-2014, Kelly Rohrbach was the last blonde-haired model to date Dicaprio. Their romance began in 2015. According to Heatherton, their breakup was due to "crazy schedules." For Garrn, the breakup happened soon after Dicaprio was spotted leaving a Miami nightclub with 20 women. For Rohrbach, by the end of 2016, their breakup was blamed on crazy work schedules. These two also had a 16 year age difference. At some point along the way, Rohrbach and Dicaprio were reportedly engaged but decided to remain friends after the breakup. Nina Agdal Nina was the last girlfriend Dicaprio dated before his current girlfriend, Camila Morrone. Agdal and Dicaprio dated from 2016-2017. The Danish model was 17 years his junior and the two were seen vacationing together in Montauk, New York, and the Bahamas. She even met his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken — he brought them on a French Polynesia vacation for his 42nd birthday. Their relationship ultimately didn't work out, but a source told PEOPLE that they've remained friends. Camila Morrone Has Leonardo Dicaprio found true love with Camila Morrone? Only time will tell, but as of today things are going strong and they are still together. The two started secretly dating in late 2017, and have been dating officially since 2018. After two years together, and spending a year together quarantining together, the couple looks to be happy as ever. In November 2021, a source told E! that the two are “closer than ever," saying, "Leo has been settling into this domestic life with Cami, as opposed to all the time he used to spend out with his boys...He does really like his life with her and they're a lot more coupley than they used to be."

@akatoshThought you probably wished this headline was true just like me 😭 Leonardo DiCaprio Still SECRETLY IN LOVE with Kate Winslet and Want to MARRY HER Introduction Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet starred in the 1997 hit Titanic, and their chemistry was quickly recognized by moviegoers. DiCaprio plays young artist Jack on a luxury ship, while Winslet plays Rose, a wealthy woman who is engaged to be married to her fiancé, Cal. Despite being in a relationship, Rose begins to fall in love with Jack. Who can forget Jack and Rose’s hot intimacy view in the car? Or when Jack makes Rose stand by the bow of the ship, where she shouts, “I’m flying!” Two words: truly magnificent. Are They Just Friend? Since viewers would like DiCaprio and Winslet to ride their bikes at sunset together, they would have to be satisfied with their amazing friendship instead. DiCaprio has been dating model Camila Morrone since 2017, while Winslet married Edward Abel Smith in 2012. In fact, at Winslet and Smith’s wedding in 2012, DiCaprio took her and gave her to him, a source told Us Weekly. “It’s like family, “Winslet told Good Morning America in 2017 about his relationship with DiCaprio, who was also his star on Revolutionary Road.” It is one of the rare Hollywood friendships that I feel very blessed to have.” They Are the Biggest Fans of Each Other Before Kate Winslet worked with Leonardo DiCaprio on the 1997 movie Titanic, she was terrified of working alongside a good-looking guy, as she should have. “I was just like all the women in the audience, about Leonardo DiCaprio,” the actress told Oprah Winfrey in 1998. In a 2004 interview with Winfrey, the television director played the confession of Kate to DiCaprio, in which he replied, “That’s my girl.” Fortunately, it seems that Winslet was able to put the fears behind her, and the two became close friends. “I feel the same way about her,” he said. “If she had not made that film, we would have been scrapes by this time. It was the hardest film we ever had to make and we were partners together.” To this day, Winslet will never forget how DiCaprio influenced his life. “I left [the Titanic] with one of the biggest friendships of my life in my back pocket, which is Leo,” she said in 2017, to Entertainment Weekly. “We know each other in a very different way, I think, because of our experience both in that film and caring for each other.” Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are both talented actors in their own right, which is why they are not afraid to recommend each other’s work in Hollywood. “In many ways, Kate and I grew up together in this field,” DiCaprio said when he appeared in 2009 on Oprah. “We have been a way of supporting each other for a long time. We have been there alone and helped to guide each other.” Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have been on the same list for more than two decades. The million-dollar question, however, is why did Hollywood celebrities not take their friendship to another level by becoming something? “I think the reason the friendship works is that there has never been such a thing as love,” Winslet told Marie Claire U.K. in 2014.

Am I the only one who is kinda happy for Nic Cage? Really liked him during the 90s This movie 😭 If you're looking for a nice xmas movie these days 🎅

💯same, girl, same It's what Celine Dion was for Deadpool lol Soooo happy for all the noms. Well deserved

^Continuation... You have to make it through the whole movie because there isn't only one but two credit scenes Not gonna lie I loved everything about JLaws look in the movie 🤩 I think her Dr. Kate Dibiasky was probably my favorite character Every time she and Leo touched each other I was like: Great chemistry of those two what made me wish even more Cate Blanchetts character would just disappear even though that one kiss was pretty hot lol👅

^Same here. The cinema I was yesterday hadn't even a poster of the movie. At the entrace the guy who checked me and my friends tickets was like "what is this movie I never heard of it" and he worked at the frickin cinema But yeah Leo on big screen is always a blessing To the movie itself: Crazy, fun, weird, unbelievable, sad and sometimes a bit slow. I didn't like every single joke (or maybe it got lost in translation) but Leo was joyfully awesome as always and just a blast for my movie loving heart.💖 Overall I had lots of laughs and even more wtf-is-going-on-here // are-you-guys-fucking-kidding-me // hell nooooooooooo // that-just-didn't-really-happen moments LOL I had basically 2 main reactions while watching DLU: 1) I almost didn't recognize him 👆 btw lol 2) Well maybe ... 3) I'm actually surprised we are still here very much alive after watching those entertaining and at the same time terrifying 2 hours and 25 minutes 🤣

Sry if I reposted something 🤗

Adam McKay’s satire about our current facts-averse political divide and incompetent government is his best yet. It’s often very funny. Unfortunately the targets are scattershot, the film is easily distracted, and it’s least a half hour too long. Best in Show: Leonardo DiCaprio as a barely-keeping it together scientist in another reminder that he ought to do more comedies. The supporting cast is one major star after another though the standouts are Cate Blanchett as a seductive opportunist talk show host, Jonah Hill as an absurdly unqualifed and petty Chief of Staff, and Melanie Lynskey, warm and grounding, as Leo’s abandoned wife.

Some -no spoiler- reviews: via letterbox: Half disaster half political satire. Leo is great at being a dweeb. Although Streep plays a weird trumpian populist President, I’d vote for her every time. I love when Jonah Hill plays a douche! Hilarious. I laughed a lot in an empty theater with a handful of “industry” folk. ---------------------------- “we really did have everything, didn’t we” (spoiler free) Don’t look up looked pretty bad until I was invited to a secret hidden premiere in Paris alongside a few cast members and some journalists. The film transitions from a comedy to a Satire to a Beautiful orchestra about life, love, religion and friendships, Every actor (major or musician) did an excellent job! Is it the next Godfather? of course not, It isn’t meant to be.. but It’s definitely going to leave you satisfied!
