September 10, 20204 yr Kinda funny (though I don't agree with her mostly) Quote Leonardo DiCaprio Won’t Let Himself Be Hot Onscreen Without Dying Hello, and welcome to an extremely serious critical piece about Leonardo DiCaprio. First, allow me to establish my ethos as an academic. My CV includes decades of intensive study that some might describe as “maniacal,” including an erotic awakening encouraged exclusively by Romeo + Juliet, biweekly viewings of both Titanic VHS tapes between the years 1998-2007, and a bisexuality spurred entirely by the angular visage of a young Leonardo DiCaprio. My graduate thesis was a semiotic analysis of Leonardo DiCaprio’s headbands (no it was not). I am here today to posit the following: Over the course of his storied career, Leo has only allowed himself to play the young, androgynously hot romantic male lead if said lead was violently killed off at the end of the movie, usually in a gun duel. I will also posit that the reason behind this is because after the vagina-slaying mid-’90s double-header of Romeo + Juliet and Titanic, young Leo was so fucked up about/humiliated by his new, massive fame — specifically among teen girls, specifically because of his Shane-from-The-L-Word face — and so determined to become Marty Scorsese’s surly muse that he purposefully and continuously condemned himself to cinematic death. Leo’s made just shy of 30 movies in his three-decade-plus career, which seems low, considering how many 23-year-olds he picked up at 1Oak in that same time period. He has died in nine of these movies. That means he’s died in nearly one-third of his movies. This is, frankly, an insane number of times for an actor to die in their movies. In fact, he is the 30th most-dead person in movie history, after Brad Pitt, Bela Lugosi, and Nicolas Cage. Now, I know what you’re thinking: It’s not that deep; Leo just loves to die. And sure, who among us doesn’t? Look deeper, though, and you’ll find a shocking, illuminating pattern within these filmic deaths. While Leo is not hot in every movie he dies in, in every movie he’s hot in, he dies. I believe this is not a coincidence. I believe that young Leo was embarrassed by his Fibonacci sequence of a face, and has therefore worked hard to render it less mathematically perfect over the years by drinking heavily on yachts, dining on fries al fresco, and doing things like this. He even said so himself to James Cameron, who told reporters that he invited Leo to watch Titanic at the 3-D premiere in 2012, and Leo “couldn’t believe it,” said James. “He said to me, ‘I’m such a young punk. Look at me.’ Leo was practically crawling under the seat. It was a good moment.” Baz Luhrmann, who directed Leo in Romeo + Juliet, put his plight thusly: “Leo will be a little sensitive about this. He’s so focused and he’s such a great actor. He’s got such a vast range, but he’s gifted and burdened with being an attractive screen presence. He’s got that star quality. It’s a gift and a burden.” A burden that Leo decided to shrug off by dying in a troubling number of gun duels onscreen. Let’s break down the evidence. Critters 3: Leo’s cinematic debut. Too young to be legally considered hot. He lives. Poison Ivy: Leo is in this movie for five seconds total. Too short of a time to be hot. Since we do not see him again, we can safely assume that he survives and his character, “Guy,” continues to live on within the Poison Ivy universe. This Boy’s Life: Leo’s insane military haircut keeps him from being truly hot in this film. He survives. What’s Eating Gilbert Grape: This movie is not centered around the erotic visage of Leonardo DiCaprio in any sense. He subsequently lives through it. The Basketball Diaries: There is certainly an argument to be made that Leo is hot in this movie, where he plays a young opioid addict. I won’t be making that argument. Leo (barely) survives this film. The Quick and the Dead: Leo is approaching peak hotness in this movie. He dies in a gun duel. Total Eclipse: In this erotic gay romance, Leo is hot and, did I mention, gay. He dies of cancer. Romeo + Juliet: In this perfect film, Leo plays painfully hot, Hawaiian-shirt-wearing, blond-hair-flicking, sex demon Romeo, who — spoiler alert — kills himself at the end via poison. Titanic: Plays a hot rapscallion with a penchant for car-fucking. Dies in an iceberg attack that could have been prevented if it weren’t for said car-fucking. Marvin’s Room: Leo is not really Working It, per se, in this film. He’s attractive in an understated way, but certainly nothing electric is going on. He lives. The Man in the Iron Mask: Leo really said, “I am so tired of my face that I am going to wear a freaking iron mask on it.” Even in the scenes where he is not wearing an iron mask, Leo is again really not working it in this film, from a hotness perspective. He lives. Celebrity: At this point in his career, Leo was so fed up with being hot that he had to make a movie about how hard it was to be hot. His insane hair, combined with his own self-flagellation, ultimately holds him back from hotness, and thusly, he survives. The Beach: This is one of maybe three films that do not entirely fit my theory. However, even Einstein’s theories had holes. So please grant me a bit of slack here. Leo is hot in this movie, and he lives. I’m sorry. But remember: Science is always evolving, changing, adapting to new information. By 2020 standards, Leo in The Beach is hot. But in 100 years, teens may watch The Beach and say, “No. This is not a hot man.” Don’s Plum: This odd duck of a film went unreleased for a long time and when it came out, we all (100 percent of the world’s population, in a mail survey) agreed that Leo was not that hot in it. As such, he does not die. Gangs of New York: By this point, Leo had finally proven himself a serious actor, one who would never let himself get too hot without getting shot in the process. Scorsese rewarded him by making him not at all hot in this film. He is one of the few characters to survive the film. Catch Me If You Can: Leo is kinda hot in this, but not really. Certainly not in any androgynous capacity. He left that behind in The Beach. It’s not coming back. Anyway, he lives. The Aviator: Above, I mentioned that Leo is famously not hot in The Aviator. Despite the fact that aviation is a dangerous game, Leo does not die. The Departed: This one is arguable. Some people think otherwise but I believe that in The Departed, Leo is hot in a sort of filthy way. He dies in a gun duel. Blood Diamond: Plays a hot guy who wants blood diamonds, but he feels bad about it. He dies in a gun duel. Body of Lies: Leo, as a CIA agent, is not hot. He lives and quits the CIA. Confusingly, that’s hot! Revolutionary Road: The scariest horror film of all time sees a not-hot Leo incidentally contribute to the death of his wife, Kate Winslet. But … you guessed it … he lives. Shutter Island: As a man who loves wasting everyone’s time, Leo is not at all hot in Shutter Island, and nobody violently murders him. He does receive a lobotomy, though. Perhaps this is payback for surviving while hot in The Beach. Inception: If you do think Leo is hot in Inception, then at the end, he’s still dreaming, meaning he’s dying a slow and horrible death back up in reality. If you don’t think he’s hot, then he’s not dreaming, and he goes on to live a great life with his kids and Michael Caine. Everyone wins with Inception. J. Edgar: Leo is not hot in this movie. But, okay, he dies of heart disease. It’s not a violent death, however, so it still fits my theory. And again I remind you that scientists have still not figured out what dark matter is. Django Unchained: I promise this is the last of the three movies that doesn’t fit my important academic theory. I hate this movie, and Leo isn’t really hot in it, unless you’re into profligate, murderous racists. However, he dies in a gun duel. The Great Gatsby: Leo is a hot Gatsby. Look at those highlights! He dies in a gun duel. The Wolf of Wall Street: The only hot person in this film is Margot Robbie. Leo makes it through the film alive, despite doing enough quaaludes to kill 190 horses. The Revenant: This film is the apex of Leo Wanting to Be Taken Seriously, the whole reason he started dying while hot in the first place. Absolutely wrecked, he sleeps inside the carcass of a horse while everyone around him tries to kill him 1 million times. But he lives, and that’s the whole point of the movie. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: Having won an Oscar after dying in half a dozen gun duels for the honor, Leo finally allows himself to do comedy here. However, despite a few well-placed leather jackets, Leo is purposefully not bringing it in this one, and he survives despite a dramatic attempt on his life. In the interest of remembering Young Hot Leo and embarrassing Old, Non-Hot Leo further, let’s all enjoy Leonardo DiCaprio, the eternal young hot, dead punk, in Romeo + Juliet this Friday evening.

September 10, 20204 yr Quote Leonardo DiCaprio Has Settled Into a New Rhythm Leonardo DiCaprio spent Labor Day weekend at the beach with his girlfriend. How normal was that sentence? So normal! On holiday weekends past, he would be on a mega-yacht in Sardinia, maybe, or a gondola in Venice for the festival. He would be on a plane somewhere doing laps around the South of France. But he was here, in Malibu, just…going to beach like the rest of the hoi polloi. These beach pics are not like those in Bora Bora or the photos we don’t see because he’s on the island that Francis Ford Coppola owns. They’re just regular old photos of a man in his board shorts and a trucker hat. He’s carrying his own towel around his own towel-holder (neck) thank you very much. He’s there with his girlfriend, who he’s been with for a long time, at least in Leo years, and she is sometimes chatting with him and sometimes looking at her phone. It’s all very normal without, like, a Zoom background from a Thai beach behind them. This virus has kept many home, living more interior lives, really marinating into one’s surroundings. And Leo, just like us, has become something of a homebody. Or a Malibu-body. He’s been seen on the beach so much this summer, smiling, playing in the water, looking rather at home. Among the many questions that this period has left us, one of them is, will yacht Leo ever come back? As the weather in L.A. turns, as this thing keeps on keeping on, as we turn the page to fall, will he go back to yachts and planes? Or will he live the simple life, with his girlfriend on the beach, a towel around his neck? Time can only tell. Source Quote Leonardo DiCaprio tried to hide his 1990s smoking habit from his mom Leonardo DiCaprio — who these days is often spotted with a vape (above) — fretted about his image, and didn’t want his mom to know that he smoked when he was still an up-and-coming star, Page Six is told. Photographer Steve Eichner — whose new book, “In the Limelight: The Visual Ecstasy of NYC Nightlife in the ’90s,” chronicles the 1990s club scene in pictures — told us that DiCaprio made a deal with him one night in 1994 at Club USA during a party for the Nicolas Cage-Dennis Hopper thriller “Red Rock West.” At Peter Gatien’s legendary club venue, Eichner said he got a shot of Leo — who would have been about 20 at the time and had just starred in his dramatic movie breakout, “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape,” with Johnny Depp — buying something from a “cigarette-and-candy girl,” but he couldn’t tell what. “[Leo] came over and tapped me on the shoulder and said, ‘Hey man, can you do me a favor and please don’t use that photo? You can take photos of me tonight.’ ” When asked why he didn’t want the picture to go public, Eichner recalled that Leo told him, “I was buying cigarettes, and I don’t want my mom to know that I smoke.” DiCaprio is famously close with his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken. Oddly enough, Depp corroborated Eichner’s claim that DiCaprio kept his smoking habit from his mom. In 2016, at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Depp told an anecdote about a young co-star pestering him on the set of “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.” “No, I will not give you a drag of my cigarette while you hide from your mother again, Leo,” Depp recalled himself saying to the rising star. Some (perhaps apocryphal) reports from many years ago have also said that DiCaprio helped Robert Pattinson quit smoking by turning him onto e-cigarettes. Eichner’s book comes out Oct. 20 from Prestel. Source
September 10, 20204 yr Unnatural many positive comments for those two Probably one of my favorite movie lines/duo ever This is everything, so sweet 😍 (look at moms response in the comment section LOL)
September 10, 20204 yr Have you guys ever read this review of Revolutionary Road? It's hysterically on point After reading it I'm almost in the mood for a re watch Quote The Scariest Horror Movie of All Time Is Revolutionary Road When I was 10 years old, my dad showed me The Shining, which in some states would probably be considered reckless endangerment. I loved it, even as I could feel it permanently altering the wiring of my brain. I’ve since spent the past two decades trying to re-create that experience — i.e., find a movie so perfectly terrifying that it low-key destroys my life and completely ravages my worldview. (Thank you, yes, I am in therapy.) I’ve seen a lot of good horror movies over the years (The Descent, Goodnight Mommy, It Follows, Let the Right One In, and Hereditary are some of my favorites), but the hours upon hours of horror-viewing have mostly just served to slowly erode my pleasure centers and turn me into the kind of person who can watch The Strangers alone in my house in the bathtub and then get a great night’s sleep. There is, however, one exception, one film that can still reach the recesses of my dilapidated brain. It is the scariest movie I have ever seen. It provides me with nightmare fuel to this day. Even thinking of it on a warm summer’s eve, I shudder, chilled to the bone, pulling my floral cardigan tightly around my shoulders, wondering if that long shadow on the driveway is just my imagination. This film is Revolutionary Road, which came out on Christmas 2008, and was billed, incredibly, as a “romance.” The first time I saw Revolutionary Road, I was on winter break from college, and my mom and I went to a nice afternoon screening, just two gals excited to watch Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet reunited for the first time since Titanic. Before the film ended, I was out in the hallway, experiencing my very first panic attack. Last night, I rewatched it for the first time since that fateful afternoon, and I immediately picked a fight with my boyfriend about whether or not we should subscribe to the Criterion Channel. “I guess we will have a life devoid of art and culture and history,” I said, smoking 12 cigarettes at once as I sewed myself an apron with my other hand. My point is, this movie ruins lives. If you’re unfamiliar with Revolutionary Road, let’s unpack it together because you absolutely should not watch it unless you want to obliterate any remaining sense of joy (or unless it’s Halloween and you want to watch a horror movie, in which case, this is the only one). Based on Richard Yates’s 1961 novel of the same name and directed by Sam Mendes, the movie follows the downward trajectory of 1950s East Coast couple April (Kate Winslet) and Frank Wheeler (Leonardo DiCaprio). April, an aspiring actress, and Frank, a longshoreman, meet at a party, locking eyes from across the room, and begin sexily dancing. Oh, wow, you might think during this scene. It’s like Titanic, but if Rose had just scooched over and let Jack onto the door and they were able to live a lovely life together and flirt at parties. I’m sorry to tell you this, but actually, it is like Titanic, except only in the sense that it is a film primarily marked by sheer misery until one of them dies and it’s basically the other one’s fault. Before the opening credits even conclude, Kate and Leo are living in the Connecticut suburbs with two kids and a “modern” house on a street called — you guessed it — Revolutionary Road. Everything is beige. Everyone’s pants are beige, everyone’s hair is beige (except for Kate Winslet, who gets to be icy blonde to convey that she is different), everyone’s beach umbrellas are beige, everyone’s carpet is beige, everyone’s couch is beige, everyone’s soul is beige. Kate has just bombed spectacularly as the lead in the town’s play, and Leo is like, “Yeah, that actually did suck.” To add insult to injury, Kathy Bates is their Realtor, which means this is truly a diabolical reanimation of the entire cast of Titanic, transplanting them all to a scenario that is somehow shittier than a gigantic sinking boat. Within the film’s first five minutes, Kate and Leo are screaming at each other inside their car and then on the side of the road, which, again, is basically like spraying poorly done graffiti onto the historical landmark that is Titanic’s car sex scene. The scene is meant to indicate how bone-deep depressed they both are. Kate tells Leo he’s a “pathetic, self-deluded little boy” who “has me in a trap”; Leo calls her “sick”; she calls him “disgusting.” He punches their car on the head. They go home. Nobody draws anybody like one of their French girls. We’re then introduced to their daily routines: Frank heads to work in a sea of men dressed in the exact same oversize gray suit and stupid gray hat. April is taking out the trash and doing the laundry in her apron, looking forlornly out her picture window onto the crabgrass. Sometimes Kathy Bates bursts in with a patch of some other grass to put on the crabgrass and she and Kate sit and stare at each other in silence. If you, for example, are watching this next to your mom in suburban Chicago in the middle of a gigantic multilevel movie theater inside a shopping mall in the mid-aughts, you begin to feel the stirrings of a panic attack. The most frightening parts of Revolutionary Road center on the idea that Kate and Leo believe that they’re somehow “special” — that even though they live in the suburbs and have kids and do laundry and stare at grass and fuck their secretaries after lunchtime Martinis, they’re better than their neighbors, and are living this life from an ironic distance. They don’t want this life; they’re living it almost by accident. They repeat this idea to each other over and over again, and even Kathy Bates is like, “You guys aren’t like my other clients. You’re special.” But not special enough to avoid the cruel banality and homogeneity of 1950s suburbia. Both Kate and Leo yearn to break free of their claustrophobic existence (“We’ve resigned to the ridiculous idea that you have to settle down once you have children!” says Kate, desperate for a change) and for a brief period in the middle of the movie, they decide to, planning to move their family to Paris so Leo can figure out what he wants to do with his life. For a few scenes, things begin to look up: Leo decides to quit his job at the whatever factory, Kate wears a jaunty ponytail as she packs up their house, and everyone around them is bewildered and secretly jealous that they seem to have figured out how to escape the doldrums. This is truly the meanest part of the movie because you know these mofos aren’t moving to Paris, you just don’t know why. In the midst of the Paris planning, Kathy Bates brings her son Michael Shannon over for lunch, explaining that he’s on a brief recess from a stay in the local mental hospital and she thought Leo and Kate might cheer him up. It turns out that Michael Shannon’s “insanity” is really just a propensity for telling the truth, and since he’s the only other person in this movie who’s willing to admit that the 1950s suburbs suck, he and Kate and Leo get along famously, laughing deliriously about the empty hopelessness of their lives and strolling around in the woods. It is statistically impossible for Kate and Leo to have sex onscreen without instant chaos ensuing, and this film is no exception. Kate and Leo fuck against a kitchen cabinet in the heat of their Paris delusion, Kate gets pregnant shortly thereafter, and when she calmly suggests an abortion, Leo goes ballistic. (At this point in the movie, my boyfriend turns to me and says, “It feels like this movie was made specifically to antagonize you.”) Eventually, Leo gets a promotion at the whatever factory and decides that he won’t quit his job and they’ll stay and rot in suburban Connecticut. “It is possible that Parisians aren’t the only ones capable of leading interesting lives,” he says, wearing beige at the beige beach. Things go aggressively downhill from here. Kate is like, “I don’t want another baby; the first baby was a mistake and we only had a second baby so we could tell ourselves that the first baby wasn’t a mistake.” Leo is like, “You are hysterical. We need to find you a doctor to help you make sense of your life!!!” Kate promptly bones the sheriff from Stranger Things. “Married, two kids. Should be enough,” she says to him before they have sex in a car (again … this Titanic slander!). “It is for him. He’s right. We were never special or destined for anything at all.” Soon, Kate is peeling potatoes in a housedress and Leo is having sex with Zoe Kazan and I am losing it. There is nothing more horrifying than watching Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater making it off the boat only to live a life of blunt sorrow in a beige house, making beige potatoes in a beige bowl. Leo comes home to Mrs. Potatohead and tells her that he’s been cheating on her, but it’s over. She says she doesn’t care and doesn’t love him anymore. Michael Shannon stops by again, and when he finds out they’re not moving to Paris anymore, he’s furious. “Little woman decides she’s not ready to stop playing house?” he screams, his face reddening as he turns to Leo. “You figure it’s more comfy here in the old hopeless emptiness after all, huh? … I wouldn’t be surprised if he knocked her up on purpose just so he could spend the rest of his life hiding behind a maternity dress. That way he’d never have to find out what he’s made of.” (I begin Googling “flights to Paris leaving right now with no return flight.”) Leo and Kate have another knockdown brawl, ending with Kate running into the woods and leaning against several trees for roughly eight hours straight. Leo spends the night alone in a dark house, confronting the innate chaos of the universe and that feeling when you don’t eat dinner and fall asleep really early by accident and then you wake up and you’re like, Where am I? Who am I? Is there such a thing as the self or is it just a series of habits we’ve constructed to distract ourselves from the wilderness of the human condition? When Kate returns, she’s entered the Uncanny Valley of 1950s Housewives. Hair done, makeup on, she makes Leo a full breakfast: scrambled eggs, half a grapefruit, coffee, toast. She sits across from him, smiling vacantly. Both disappear near seamlessly into their prescribed roles. “Tell me about your new job,” she says. Leo draws a computer on a napkin as he explains how he’s going to sell them. “I see,” Kate says, eyes black and empty. “At least, I think I see.” Leo leaves for the day, his eyes watering with joy. “I don’t know when I’ve ever had a nicer breakfast,” he says. It is the most chilling scene I’ve ever seen on film. Watching it, I feel like I need an exorcist. And it only gets darker: The moment Leo leaves, Kate gives herself a vacuum aspiration abortion, bleeds bright red onto the beige carpet, and dies. The film ends as the neighborhood digests the news of Kate and Leo’s fate. Kathy Bates tells her husband that Leo lives in the city now with his kids, a broken husk of a man, and the new couple moving into the Wheelers’ house is really the “only couple who’s ever been right for the house.” Her husband studies her. “What about the Wheelers?” he asks. She launches into a well-rehearsed diatribe, explaining how Kate and Leo were “too whimsical” and “allowed the house to depreciate.” Her husband stares blankly at her as he slowly turns off his hearing aid — the point, of course, being that everyone secretly hates the person they’re supposed to love and life is one long slog into an inescapable existential beige hell. Back in the year 2008, I am weeping in a movie-theater bathroom, a broken husk of a woman. My mom comes into the bathroom and laughs. “Rachel,” she says. “It’s fine. You don’t have to live in the suburbs.” Source
September 10, 20204 yr Some nice comments from Leo's R& J costar Harold Perrineau Interesting comments about Leo helping his son get into a certain school Quote What do you remember about first meeting Leo? Leo was quite a number of years younger than meLeo was 22 and Harold was 33 at the time of filming., and I remember meeting this young, goofy kid. I knew he was a movie star, or was on his way to being a movie star. He certainly wasn’t the movie star he’s become, but he’d already been nominated for an Oscar for Gilbert Grape. I remember meeting this young kid and going, “Okay! He’s cool!” And when we got there, and started doing the work, it was really apparent, like, “Oh, this kid’s got it. He’s for real. He can do anything. Just anything.” I was really impressed by him, because I was trying so hard to do it “right.” And he would just let it happen. So I kind of learned from him that you can just let it happen. You’ve done all the preparation, you’ve done all the work, now just let it happen. Leo could turn it on and off at the drop of a dime. He’d be goofing off and be like, “Are you guys ready?” And I’d be like, “Wait, I gotta prepare!” This kid was ready to go all the time. I found a very sweet old interview with you on set, where you said of Leo, “I’m attracted to him!” [Laughs.] Well, he’s a good-looking kid. We can’t deny that, can we? He’s a good-looking dude. If that were my predilection … [Laughs.] I couldn’t say no, right? You can’t say no to young Leo. Right, you can’t! Did you guys become friends? Oh, yeah. We all became quite close friends. We were in Mexico, and we kind of only had each other. None of us really spoke the language. They were a little younger than me, so they were really having a wilder time than I was. But I liked hanging out with them. At the time, we were hanging out with David Blaine as well — he taught me a bunch of magic tricks that didn’t make it into the film, but we used it for the Queen Mab scene. We were just having a wild, crazy time in Mexico, and I think it translated into the film. Mexico City, at the time, there was a lot happening. I think a lot of that wild energy really worked in the film. And we all stayed really good friends for years and years and years. He actually even helped my kids get into a school. When was that? My kid just graduated this year, so that was in sixth grade, seven years ago, eight years ago? Which school? He just put in a good word? He did quite substantially more than put in a good word, actually. It was kind of amazing. I don’t want to blow up his spot; he didn’t do it with any fanfare. But he gave quite a substantial donation to the school. Pretty impressive, I gotta be honest. Quote So you’re still friends? Yeah, if we see each other, we’re still friends. We don’t keep in touch, but I’d count him as still friends. When you say you had a wild time, what kind of stuff were you up to? There was a lot of partying and drinking and clubs and late nights and running through hotels, being just rockstar-kinda crazy. There was a lot of that. A lot of girls. It was wild. I don’t know what to say here … [Laughs.] There was a lot going on. We had to be really careful. Leo had a bodyguard. Like I said, he was already a star, so we’d go places and it would get frenetic. There are people like, “Oh my God, he’s here!” That kind of frenetic energy led to lots of … excited girls, jealous boys, in a town where anything can happen. Once we had just come home from a club and we saw a bunch of people from our production up on the phone, and we were like, “What happened?” And they were like, “Somebody just kidnapped our makeup artist. He took a cab home from that party, and they kidnapped him, and now they’re holding him for ransom.” It was wild. Did they get him back? Got him back, a little beat up. $400 bucks. For $400 bucks! Let the dude out! You had no idea what was happening where. A lotta crazy energy. Sounds Shakespearean. I think that’s what Baz wanted, to set it in Mexico City. It felt very Shakespearean. I imagine that’s what Verona was like back in the day — just on the edge, all the time. There’s still an internet fascination with Claire Danes and Leo’s relationship, about what happened with them on set. They hinted that they didn’t like each otherClaire called Leo “immature” but later admitted, “‘It was problematic … I couldn’t really have a crush on the guy I was professionally having a crush on!”, then suggested they had crushes on each other. Was any of that apparent to you? No, I didn’t spend any time on set with them together, you know? Mercutio and Juliet were never in the same place. But she was so young. She was 16, and he was 21. Sometimes I’m sure acting is confusing, you get mixed up, especially that young. I’m sure for them, there were some interesting feelings happening, but nothing that I was ever privy to.

September 11, 20204 yr ^Interesting comments from Harold about Leo, thanks for sharing @oxford25 I remember John Leguizamo (Tybalt) telling something similiar about Leo. That he was this goofy, silly kid on set and suddenly when Baz yelled action his perfomance was stunningly on point. I think Leguizamo was a bit jealous about this special gift of Leo at least it sounded like this for me Quote (...) he gave quite a substantial donation to the school. Pretty impressive, I gotta be honest. (...) It's all about money in this world, huh? LOL

Yes, that's true but what necessity to accent it? You could say that's photoshop but you said 'as fake as her nose and boobs'. I don't understand why😕
September 12, 20204 yr ^She cheated Leo with Deadpool. #ooops Not saying Leo is the perfect angel when it comes to relationships (could be possible he cheated Bar with Blake so maybe it was just karma plus wasn't he seen with this model in NYC while he was with Blake -don't know her name anymore-? LOL) but the break up with Blake hit him hard I think. After that he was kinda out of control in down under.
