Exactly. I think it's some nostalgia since they have known each other forever. Some would say you are who you hang out with. I've heard tobey is not that nicest guy but I really don't think Leo reflects that so I don't know what positives Leo get's out of this friendship. Tobey in the other hand is what I consider a leech.

Maybe  Tobey doesn't like strangers or introverted. In the end, we don't know him personally

I know no one here likes the never ending comparison with Leo but it's still an interesting article how opportunities for young actors have changed in Hollywood. Also I didn't know TMITIM made over 400 million $ (thanks to Titanic and Leo mania but still).

 

 

How Timothée Chalamet Became This Generation’s Leonardo DiCaprio, but with Fewer Hits

The overlap is considerable, the appeal similar. But Timothée Chalamet doesn't have the same opportunity for box-office dominance.

 

Timothée Chalamet, the 26-year-old costar of Luca Guadagnino’s “Bones and All” (United Artists), inspires slavish fans and critical praise — not unlike Leonardo DiCaprio 25 years ago when he made “Titanic.” The similarities in their trajectories are remarkable. Precociously talented; acclaimed portrayals of sensitive adolescents; risky roles; early, passionate followings by teenage girls; and acting Oscar nomination before the age of 27 (in Chalamet’s case lead).

 

Their significant difference is Chalamet stands at the threshold of a major career. By the same point in his own work, DiCaprio could have retired and be considered an iconic star. None of this diminishes Chalamet’s significant achievements, but it highlights differences in their eras.

 

“Bones and All” is no “Titanic” (not that anything is). The best-case scenario for this $16 million-budgeted drama is a breakout, not a blockbuster. Guadagnino (“Call Me by Your Name,” “Suspiria”) has established a reputation for edgy, R-rated films with significant (and stylish) sex and violence. If the ’80s-set road-trip cannibal romance finds a wider audience, much credit will go to Chalamet.

 

“Bones and All” premiered at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals to positive response. It opens in five New York/Los Angeles theaters this Friday ahead of a 2,500+ run the following Wednesday, with Warner Bros. Discovery handling most overseas territories.

 

Chalamet makes his debut as a producer here, his second film with Guadagnino after their breakout “Call Me By Your Name.” What is curious is here, as with most of his films, he’s not the clear lead — a rare instance of leading-man self-effacement. The storyline belongs to Taylor Russell’s Maren, a cannibal who embarks on a cross-country trip and finds other flesh-eaters, including Chalamet’s drifter Lee.

 

In addition to being the co-lead with Armie Hammer in “Call Me by Your Name,” Chalamet also thrived in “Beautiful Boy” (second to Steve Carell). In “Lady Bird,” and “Little Women” (both for Greta Gerwig), his impact exceeded his screen time. “The French Dispatch” was an ensemble and Woody Allen’s “A Rainy Day in New York” was barely released in the U.S.

 

As “Dune” protagonist Paul Atreides, Chalamet was the unabashed lead of a film that grossed $400 million worldwide. However, his significant contributions to the film’s success were matched by the massive interest in Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of a beloved sci-fi novel. (The sequel is now in production.)

 

All told, that’s four $100-million Chalamet films, three of which are led by other actors. At this stage in his career, DiCaprio had three $100 million films as a lead (two by adjusting). One, of course, was “Titanic,” the biggest-grossing movie of the last 40 years ($1.2 billion adjusted). Before that, he made many smaller films not unlike Chalamet’s including “This Boys Life,” “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape,” “The Basketball Diaries,” and “Total Eclipse,” all with varying degrees of success.

 

5883894x.jpg?resize=1280,867

 

DiCaprio’s breakout was Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 “Romeo + Juliet” opposite Claire Danes, which announced him as a major commercial draw. “Titanic” followed, with “The Man in the Iron Mask” released two weeks before “Titanic” swept the Oscars. “Mask” was critically reviled, but DiCaprio’s pull meant it made (adjusted) over $400 million worldwide.

 

That was DiCaprio at 24, and it’s a phenomenon rarely seen before or after. It’s far more difficult — perhaps impossible — to do that today. Neither actor has appeared in a comic-book franchise or a sequel (apart from DiCaprio’s direct-to-video debut “Critters 3” and Chalamet’s “Dune 2”), but that’s now what drives most box-office hits. To put it another way: Adjusted for inflation, the budget for “Mask” was $65 million. When’s the last time we’ve seen a $65 million one-off gross nearly seven times its budget?

 

Domestic expectations for “Bones and All” are $20 million at the high end (and considerably more overseas), followed by a healthy Chalamet-driven afterlife. However, the biggest tests for the actor come next year with “Wonka,” from “Paddington” director Paul King next Christmas, as well as “Dune 2.” Chalamet’s career has been buoyed by social media in a way that was impossible for Di Caprio — but in the 21st century, Chalamet’s 18 million Instagram followers don’t necessarily translate to box-office dominance.

 

Not that becoming the world’s biggest movie star was ever easy, but 1997 offered fewer obstacles. Eight of the year’s 10 top films were originals, in a variety of genres including comedies (“Liar, Liar”), dramas (“Good Will Hunting,” which launched Matt Damon and Ben Affleck), high-end actioners (“Air Force One,” “Face/Off”), and hybrids (“Men in Black”).

 

“Good Will Hunting” made over $330 million on a $19 million budget (all figures adjusted). Today, a massive hit means a franchise, full stop. The demands to bend to formula make it tougher for idiosyncratic talents like Chalamet to succeed at DiCaprio’s level.

 

There are other ways of defining success, of course. Can he conform to the idea of an actor as “brand” while still making interesting, and off-beat films? With box-office trends beyond his control, that’s Chalamet’s real challenge.

Nice @BarbieErin.

 

@akatoshIn my humble opinion, all the hype that surrounds Titanic is bittersweet. A blessing that the tragedy of the ship's voyage got more of an in-depth portrayal, but a bit sad how the awareness had to come about. All-in-all Cameron's meticulous engagement paid off. On another note, without speaking beyond my station, if Leonardo's so-called bad attitude toward reads hadn't landed him his iconic role, would the film's social buoyancy even exist? I can see Claire Danes as Rose, but Leonardo DiCaprio is Jack Dawson. I don't wanna come off as insensitive by no means, but I'm thinking without DiCaprio, the film if not immediately, perhaps eventually, would have ended up at the bottom of the ocean with its inspiration. As for Kate, I like her, but she will always be Marianne Dashwood to me. 

 

Thanks, everyone ( @Jade Bahr )for the updates as usual. This little birdie says Leonardo was just a few feet from her at a Grammy party in BH. I can't tell, but I figure posting it is worth a shot.

@BarbieErin Great pic. I've never seen that one before.

 

@YouNoMe I agree without the Leo Mania Titanic wouldn't have been the same and not as successful. But apart from the fact that Leo IS Jack Dawson I can't picture anyone else as Rose either. Titanic was Leo and Kate and their wonderful chemistry.

 

Interesting article:

Why Is Leonardo DiCaprio So Popular? (Explained)

 

 

Leonardo DiCaprio is described by some fans as a step above all other actors, with a prestigious attitude, and has become a highly respected actor in the 21st century.

Compared to some other popular actors who seem to appear in a new movie every year, DiCaprio has not been in a large array of movies to accumulate his fame and popularity in the same way.

Because of this, the reasoning behind his popularity may be unclear to fans.

Let’s learn more about the conscious and perhaps unconscious efforts put forth by Leonardo DiCaprio to create and maintain his status as a popular actor.

 

Why Is Leonardo DiCaprio So Popular?

 

 

Leonardo DiCaprio is popular because of his acting skills as well as an excellent production crew and directors that have the ability to showcase and build off DiCaprio’s talents on screen.

He is also known for his kind and generous personality off-screen towards the production crew, co-actors, and fans.

Comments about the actor found on social media pages, magazines, and other news sources are not typically negative or especially scandalous as compared to other actors.

DiCaprio is also different from some other popular actors in a major way, and that is that he is exclusive and picky about the movies and directors that he has affiliated with.

 

1. DiCaprio’s Acting Road

 

 

There is no doubt that DiCaprio is an excellent actor.

He has had plenty of experience to master these skills and has been acting since he was only a toddler in Romper Room.

His film acting history truly began with Critters 3 and Poison Ivy, both movies that are not part of the typical genre of movies that he worked on in the 2000s.

Neither movie did particularly well, according to their Rotten Tomatoes scores, which perhaps may have led the actor to realize the horror genre was not meant for him.

After the setback of those films in the early 1990s, DiCaprio went on to This Boy’s Life and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape which ultimately kick-started his film career.

However, some fans may argue that his participation in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is what officially put DiCaprio on the map as an up-and-coming actor and teenage heartthrob.

After the success of Romeo and Juliet, DiCaprio went on to steal fans’ hearts further in Titanic.

 

A. Movies

DiCaprio appears to have gotten lucky as an actor, in that the majority of his movies have been successful.

These movies and roles include:

  • Romeo in Romeo + Juliet (1996)
  • Jack Dawson in Titanic (1997)
  • Teddy Daniels in Shutter Island (2010)
  • Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby (2013)
  • Hugh Glass in The Revenant (2015)
  • Rick Dalton in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)

DiCaprio’s role in Romeo and Juliet began his rise to popularity, but Titanic can be considered a role that solidified his popularity and made fans look forward to his future work.

Additionally, Shutter Island introduced a wider range of acting skills and his ability to portray a character with a psychological problem that fans hadn’t had the opportunity to see in his previous roles.

 

B. Awards

Not surprisingly, DiCaprio has won several awards for his acting skills throughout his more than 30 years of acting.

These include a Golden Globe Award (2014), MTV Music Award (2014), and multiple BAFTA Awards for Best Actor and Best Film.

However, one area of surprise may be that the popular actor has only won one Oscar award, and that was only awarded to him in 2016 despite his many years of acting.

The Oscar was for his work in the film, The Revenant.

His Oscar win was big news for both DiCaprio and his fans, as many lifelong fans had been waiting for years for the legendary moment.

In fact, the suspense surrounding the buildup to DiCaprio’s Oscar win has been captured by Twitter users who still comment several years later about the injustice that he had to wait more than 30 years to win one.

Many even insinuated that the only way to win an Oscar is to go to extremes, like fighting a bear on screen.

It can be argued that DiCaprio’s inability to win an Oscar for an extended period actually helped to increase his popularity, as fans rallied together in support of the actor.

 

C. Rotten Tomatoes Scores

It is common for fans to deliberately check the ratings of new movies before spending, or wasting, their money going to the theaters.

Rotten Tomatoes is one of those sources used to help determine if a movie is worth going to the theaters for or if it’s better to wait for the future (and free) release on streaming services such as Netflix or HBO.

Rotten Tomatoes has scored the 10 best (and worst) movies that DiCaprio has starred in.

The movies, in descending order according to their Rotten Tomatoes score, include:

  1. Catch Me If You Can (2022)—96%
  2. The Departed (2006)—90%
  3. What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)—90%
  4. Inception (2010)—87%
  5. Django Unchained (2012)—87%
  6. Titanic (1997)—87%
  7. The Aviator (2004)—86%
  8. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)—85%
  9. Marvin’s Room (1996)—84%
  10. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)—80%

Interestingly, The Great Gatsby only scored 48% on Rotten Tomatoes despite the continued popularity of the book and the accompanying movie being taught in schools.

According to Twitter users, the most popular movies that DiCaprio has been in include:

  • Django Unchained
  • Shutter Island
  • The Departed

 

2. Directors DiCaprio Has Worked With

 

 

Another reason for DiCaprio’s popularity is that his image has been successfully crafted with the help of an excellent crew of production workers and most importantly, directors, who help to create his movies.

This fan states that they believe DiCaprio’s fame has come from his ability to secure roles in well-performing movies alongside “people (directors) he knows will have a good script and that will bring the best out of him.”

This did not all happen purely by chance, rather, the actor is known for searching out big-name directors with whom he is interested in working to discuss ideas for future movies.

The portfolio of directors that he has had the opportunity to work with includes Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Clint Eastwood, Ridley Scott, Steven Spielberg, Alejandro Inarritu, and Christopher Nolan.

Each director has made a name for themselves and is known for their portfolio of successful movies, some of which DiCaprio has had the honor of participating in.

Martin Scorsese and DiCaprio worked together on The Aviator, Shutter Island, The Departed, and The Wolf of Wall Street.

The director Baz Luhrmann directed Romeo and Juliet and The Great Gatsby alongside DiCaprio’s acting.

He has even worked with the great Quentin Tarantino in the movie Django Unchained and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

 

3. His Personality Makes An Impact

 

 

It seems like it is a regular occurrence for magazines and media channels to report that a well-known actor or actress is also well known for their negative disposition outside of the roles that they portray on television.

Magazines known for their gossip include Us Weekly, People, and OK! magazine.

However, it is difficult to find any media portraying DiCaprio in a negative light or as having a negative attitude.

This Quora user states that they once had the opportunity to work with DiCaprio on the set of The Aviator.

The user’s comments are generally positive, stating that the actor was wonderful, kind, and good to the crew.

They also attached a photo to the account, which appears to be a handwritten note from Leo thanking them for their work.

Although, like many heartthrobs and celebrities, his social life is often captured on camera as being surrounded by models and taking extravagant vacations.

Gossip sites, like She Finds, report frequently on his dating life, partying habits, and other rumors surrounding the actor.

However, despite his wild social life off-screen, he is still seen as a serious actor and is known for diving wholeheartedly into his roles.

 

4. Environmental Issues And Climate Change

 

 

Outside of his roles on screen, DiCaprio is somewhat of a mystery in that he doesn’t often talk about his personal life in interviews with the media.

As mentioned previously he is known for his kind personality towards actors and fans off camera, however, many may not realize that his kindness extends to working with the environment.

He is passionate about climate change and has promoted environmental documentaries like And We Go Green, which was produced to expose global warming and air pollution within the Formula I racing world.

He also started his own foundation, The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF), which supports conservation projects worldwide to protect fragile ecosystems and species.

The Foundation has been recognized by many environmental organizations, including Global Green for its work during what the organization calls a “planetary crisis.”

In addition to his own foundation, DiCaprio has been known to invest in companies that have strong environmental ethics.

One example is the brand LOCI, which designs vegan shoes made from cork, bamboo, recycled nylon, and natural rubber.

The brand only produces the shoes on a rotating basis, rather than continuously, to avoid the environmental damages associated with large production facilities.

In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, DiCaprio states that he is a proud investor in the brand that is “dedicated to minimizing its environmental impact, and centered around creating cruelty-free, ethical footwear.”

The actor’s outspoken attitude on environmental issues worldwide has been noticed by many, including the United Nations (UN).

In 2014, ahead of the UN’s 2014 Climate Summit, the Secretary-General named DiCaprio as a Messenger of Peace for his specific focus on climate change.

 

5. He Works For Himself

 

 

An interesting difference between DiCaprio and other well-known actors is that he doesn’t appear to take on just any role, but rather, he is particular about the movies that he gets involved in.

As compared to other actors like Dwayne Johnson and Millie Bobby Brown, who appear to multitask and participate in multiple movies or television series at a time, DiCaprio stands apart.

The actor works for himself by participating in movies when he wants and seemingly on his own terms.

The advantage and end result of this exclusivity is that, when he does take on a new role, fans expect that the movie will be highly rated.

Typically, fans are not disappointed.

Quentin Tarantino, the well-known director, shared a similar opinion of DiCaprio with The Hollywood Reporter.

He stated that “one of the things I like about Leo is he just doesn’t plug himself into two movies a year.”

DiCaprio stands alone, similar to Al Pacino or Robert De Niro, who “could do anything they wanted, and they wanted to do this. So that means this must be pretty good.”
