Emanuel Levy J Edgar interview

. Edgar” begins in the mid-1970s, when Hoover is nearing the end of his life and his time as Director of the FBI. Wanting to preserve everything he’s built, he begins dictating his memoirs, reflecting back on his early days as a man in his early twenties, when he first began working with what was then simply the Bureau of Investigation.

“I think he was interested in his place in history,” director Clint Eastwood surmises, “but probably prone to some exaggeration. There are proven moments where he fudged his stories a bit to make himself look a little better.”

“Early on in his career, solving the Lindbergh case and capturing outlaws like John Dillinger helped Hoover to fashion the G-Man image in the eyes of the general public,” Leonardo DiCaprio adds. “There were comic books about them, they were on cereal boxes, engaging America’s youth. It was all part of his publicity campaign to turn government into a force that was helping your family and keeping your children safe.”

Whether or not Hoover was ever able to feel the country was safe or that positive changes were on the horizon, is still a question.

“I think even as an old man, J. Edgar Hoover was still so obsessed with communism that he didn’t recognize things were changing for the better during the Civil Rights Movement,” the actor goes on. “He saw it as an uprising that had the potential to become something more destructive. That’s when he lost his footing. That’s when he failed to see the real future of our country.”

J. Edgar Hoover devoted himself to public service, essentially putting aside any personal relationships he might have wanted to have for what he considered to be the greater good. As one who served to gain authority as well as the public’s adoration, he saw his opportunity to achieve both by positioning himself as a supreme crime-fighting figure, a hero of the populace.

“Hoover was incredibly ambitious as a young man,” says Leonardo DiCaprio, who took on the character that would take him from a man in his twenties to one at 77.

“He was highly motivated to succeed in Washington, primarily due to his mother’s expectations of him. His father had failed to become a major political figure, and Annie wanted her son to carry the family name to great fame and fortune, with little or no regard for what else Edgar might have needed for himself. He became this stoic, bulldog enforcer who had to keep his personal life very personal. He became all about secrets.”

With so little known about the man’s inner life, DiCaprio did vast amounts of research in order to create a fully realized Hoover on screen. “It was a terrific challenge to breathe life into this person, because he was such a mystery,” he says. “I did find that he was very manipulative and very charming; he could charm anyone in the room but at the same time intimidate them. He liked the spotlight, but he concentrated so much on work that it defined much of who he was, his morals, the decisions that he made on really every level. I hesitate to use the word priest because J. Edgar Hoover was no priest, but he certainly looked at the FBI as his church.”

“Leo is a total professional, he comes completely prepared,” Eastwood says. “From the start, I could see he’d done all of his homework, thought a lot about what he had to do, and was interested in my take on things. I was really impressed by his focus, and I think it translated into the character.”

The actor was thrilled to be working with the legendary director. “Clint’s process is impeccable because he trusts his own instincts, he trusts his gut. There’s a beautiful simplicity to the way he works; he has one vision, which made it easier to do my job. He’s really like a corner man. It was like going into the ring and having your coach there, backing you up. And I think that confidence and support are evident on the screen.”

Trust was vital to J. Edgar Hoover, though he bestowed his on only a few individuals over the course of his lifetime, those few he felt were truly loyal to him. In order to paint a complete portrait of the man, it was critical to the filmmakers to capture those key relationships that helped reflect and reveal who he was, beginning with his colleague and friend, Clyde Tolson.

From Grazer’s perspective, “The relationship these two men had was one of companionship and joy, but also loneliness and isolation. They were both a product of their time.”

DiCaprio says, “They ate lunch and dinner together every day, went on vacations together. Whether they were together in any other respect…well, no one living knows the truth. In the film, it’s seen as almost an unrequited love, but a lasting one, nonetheless.”

Ox: Thanks soo much for the gatsby set pics!! Soooooooooooooooo handsome Also for the tweet that said leo was at a photoshoot. Wonder when we'll see these pics?

Fashion Icon: Hiiii like seeing you around here Like Oxford said, hes rumored to be dating Madalina Ghena. Its not clear yet though if its true or if it was just a rumor.

Also on the talk of Madalina looking like angelina jolie, I see it alittle bit. She looks like a mix between Angelina Jolie, Irina Shayk, Laetita Casta and Elizabetta Canalis.

Now the gossip sites are talking about how Ghena resembles Jolie

http://www.elle.dk/Mode/Gossip/Leonardo-Di...-kopi-2011.aspx

I was waiting for someone in the media to say it. I noticed a resemblance too.

Fashion Icon , Hi hun! Nice to see you on Leo's thread!!

Oxford,

There were parts of the Daily Telegraph article that I didn't agree/ like either (what you mentioned and also the comments at the beginning). However, compared to their other write ups of leo, I found this one to be the most flattering. I appreciated them noticing (and publishing) that Leo has a special presense to him and that they incorporated Joel's quote which sort of combats some of the previous things that they have been saying of him.

Thank you so much for posting all those articles, pics and tweets!

lol at the "host"

to bad that leonardo no went to Kate Hudson halloween's party

I was hoping that he attend

Off topic

Some more Gatsby pix

Re: Kate Hudson's party, I wondered if , maybe, Leo didn't attend as he had to be up early for the morning photoshoot mentioned in the tweet .

He wanted to look refreshed and his best for us

Fash

As to Daily Telegraph article, yes, we are on same page, regarding what we agreed with /didn't agree with regarding article. And, yes, I agree overall the article was more positive than previous ones

Also , thanks , for video clip.

As to Ghena /Jolie ; the writer must have been listening to you

By Princess

Too funny Brad and Angelina

Thanks for more Gatsby pix

Hi! Thanks oxford and wijn for new pics - he looks so GOOD!

I think Leo could have gone to the Halloween parties - either Drew Barrymore's and/or Kate Hudson's. He can be very stealth so he could have gone without drawing attention, at least from the paps. Kevin C. was Kate's party but no pics.

I don't think Madalina looks too much like Jolie, except for the lips and the hair. She looks more to me like Monica Belluci (Spelling?) - a gorgeous talented Italian actress. But anyway, Madaline has an unbelievable figure - she could do runway and high fashion besides just swimsuit&lingerie.

Good thinking Oxford

Also thanks for the pics.

Another cast member added to Django... Anthony LaPaglia

EXCLUSIVE: Anthony LaPaglia has joined Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained cast. LaPaglia will play the leader of a group of greedy Australians who encounter slave-turned-bounty hunter Django (Jamie Foxx) as they are escorting a group of slaves recently purchased as fighters. LaPaglia said he and Joseph Gordon-Levitt will play mean brothers, and LaPaglia said he was bowled over by the script. “It’s wildly ambitious and imaginative, deals with that subject matter in a way it hasn’t been dealt with before,” LaPaglia told me. “The way the cast has shaped up, it’s exciting to be involved.” It will be the second film in a row where LaPaglia can readopt the Australian accent he grew up with but dropped for many of his Hollywood roles and the series Without A Trace.

According to this Leo was at Kate Hudson's halloween party. We can see Danny A and I'm pretty sure the other guy is Kevin C.
