October 10, 201212 yr Check this out...it's ok if she's a fan of River Phoenix but I'm sure she doesnt know anything about Leo. River Phoenix or Leonardo Di Caprio?River!!!Leo looked up to River, and inherited at least two movies River either had or was being majorly considered for (The Basketball Diaries & Total Eclipse) so I'd assume both tried out originally but River won both parts. River was nominated for an Oscar at 17 (one of the youngest nominees in Academy history), Leo wasn't nominated (though still very impressive) til he was 19 for Gilbert Grape. I think (& many critics apparently did too) River was the greatest of his generation (which included people like Leo, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, etc) which is pretty impressive.I like Leo, and I think he's become a good person, but River was a good person from the start. He didn't start out as an arrogant young actor that seemed to feel entitled (which by many accounts Leo did). He never embraced the Hollywood or celebrity scene (all the more sad an ironic that he'll be forever linked to it for dying basically in the middle of it), and always was so kind and down to earth. Definitely wise beyond his years.One thing that really bugs me about the River vs Leo is that 20 years ago River was preaching all about global warming and taking care of our environment and actually doing something about it. He was either ignored, criticized, or ridiculed for his efforts by most of the media and alot of the public. 15+ years later Leo joins the bandwagon and everyone's like what a revolutionary actor and a great humanitarian!!!!! Um hello!!!!! Where were they 20 years ago???He was also an outsider for being a vegan in Hollywood, now every other celeb is.And then of course there's River and the animals. Who could not love a guy that literally loved animals so much he changed his entire life because of them?? He had to be one of the first big names to represent PETA (long before Pam Anderson & The Kardashians "would rather go naked than wear fur", which I'm convinced they did primarily to flaunt themselves than to promote animals, lol).So my vote definitely goes to River, as an actor, humanitarian, animal lover, and all around angelic human being. He was one of the best and I still cry every year on Oct. 31. And c'mon, let's not kid ourselves, Stand By Me is always gonna be better than Titanic, lol at least in my book anyway!!!!!Definitevely, this girl don't know nothing about Leo and honestly I don't see why people always want to make this comparisons. Each actor is an actor and everyone is unique, I agree that River was a good actor and I think we are entitlited to have our own opnions and say "oh, I think this actor is better than that another actor", but no need to compare anyone. Well, I don't compare Leo to any other actor, I think he's the best but I don't compare him with anyone.
October 10, 201212 yr I agree with you Barbie.;-)Something happened in my previous post,sorry hehe :-P

Although I hate Gosling, I have to agree that all three of them would make a better Gatsby look-wise, but I'm sure Baz had good reasons casting Leo.

October 10, 201212 yr ^OMGGGG Leo looks so badass, so amazing, I seriously can't wait to see the whole trailer, leos character just ahhh
October 10, 201212 yr Thanks ox for the tweet, and trailer. I sent you a PM. Although I hate Gosling, I have to agree that all three of them would make a better Gatsby look-wise, but I'm sure Baz had good reasons casting Leo. If Jospeh Gordon-Levitt was cast as Gatsby, you'd feel it was perfect casting

October 10, 201212 yr I personally think Leo's a little old portaining Gatsby look-wise, and that's why I don't think it's weird people saying those things.
October 10, 201212 yr ^^^I'm not saying either that everyone has to think leo is perfect for a role.......but from what I've seen from the original film, and from reading the book, It seems leo fits the role perfectly physically anyway. And that would not just be a leo fan who defends everything about him and his roles. I think everyone can agree that whoever has read the books can agree that leo looks perfect for the role physically. Plus those people like fassbender, tom ect, that you think would be good in the role are close to leos age, yet leos too old? Don't feel like I'm attacking.....you are one of the few who can have adult conversations
