I will insert the article although they weren't very nice

SXSW 2012: Mobli party hosts Leonardo Dicaprio and Tobey Maguire

tThe Mobli party at Kenichi brought two A-listers to the ATX. Lukas Haas was also there. Ouch, that was harsh. I didn’t mean it to be. But lets be honest. Lukas is no Leonardo Dicaprio.

Tobey Maguire was accommodating and friendly, snapping pics and chatting with fans.

The same can not be said of Leo. He rushed through the room to a private VIP area that even Tobes had to wait outside of to get a word with him. His body guard put his hand in front of multiple cameras in the crowd stating “no pics!”

Leonardo Dicaprio arrives at the Mobli party. Leonardo apparently is a Raiders fan

This is illustrated by the pics of the water bottle in front of my camera. And when I snuck a pic of Leo in VIP he said, “Not cool.”

Whatevs. As one of my twitter followers said, “Don’t they know only friendly celebs are welcome in Austin?”

Here are the pics. I took another one with Tobey where he’s looking at the cam, but this one is just too darn cute! I guess Leo is a Raiders fan judging by the cap he was wearing.

At least I hope he is. I hate posers (insert sarcastic tone here).

Barbie they (the press) will always want more but I think this time are taking advantage of the fact that he Wear that cap that low and it made ​​him look distant from the event, as if he preferred to be somewhere else...

They using that to make bad publicity for him. :(

I know, I don't think he seemed comfortable there, I think he just posed in that pics because he invested on Mobli and he had to promote this.

Press loves to put famous people down, I think we always have to remember that celebrities are normal people, with bad days and good days, sometimes with good mood, sometimes not... they are human beings like everyone else. But I think especially in Leo's case, press seems even more hostil about him because his very private and they love that famous people who likes to show themselves and sell their whole life to tabloids. <_<

I know, I don't think he seemed comfortable there, I think he just posed in that pics because he invested on Mobli and he had to promote this, but it's like you said, he put his cap so low that really seemed he wasn't liking that much to be there, but anyway. :(

and I didn't want to say it because I thought I was the only one who noticed that!!! :unsure:

But like you said people have good days and bad days!

Also could be the fact that he was the most famous person there and everyone was all over him. That's not very nice either!

Yes, I agree. I think that maybe he felt claustrophobic... but this is my opinion.

Thanks for article :)

As to writer's comments,the purpose of the event was to introduce/learn about the new version of Mobli =Mobli2. The event was never advertised as a photo opt with Leo DiCaprio or meet and greet with Leonardo DiCaprio.

As far as I'm concerned , Leo only agreed to attend the event to function as the ' hot flame' that gave the tech event an 'air of excitement' that elevated it above the 100's of other events, lured people to attend who otherwise might not have, as well , assure that the event would get lots of press coverage

Judging by the tweets I saw such as one below, the jam packed room, and the numerous news articles, Leo could sleep well that night knowing :mission accomplished :)

Leonardo DiCaprio is still looking for love

Leonardo DiCaprio hasn't found true love yet.

The Hollywood heartthrob is currently dating 22-year-old Victoria's Secret model Erin Heatherton and has previously enjoyed relationships with actress Blake Lively and models Bar Refaeli and Gisele Bundchen, but doesn't think he has met the love of his life yet.

Asked about his first love, he said: ''My first love? Boy I don't even remember. I suppose if I'd found my true love I would be married right now wouldn't I? ''

Leonardo, 37, has very specific standards about what he wants in a girlfriend and is turned off by ''pretentious'' and ''vindictive'' women.

He explained to The Sun newspaper: ''Pretentious women really turn me off. Vindictive women too. So do opportunistic women. I think what turns me on about a girl is what most men find attractive - which is something genuine about them. Being a good person.''

Leonardo also revealed he will always treasure the memories of working on 1997 blockbuster movie 'Titanic' and credits co-star Kate Winslet for making it such a great experience.

He said: ''The fact that Kate said 'yes' was the final decider. She was awesome. We were definitely shoulders for each other to lean on. We had to be partners on the film. All the complaining in the world was done between us two, so we did not have to vent on anyone else.''

DiCaprio: I'm just clowning around

Leonardo DiCaprio has revealed he doesn't take his day job too seriously - and reckons actors are just "clowns for hire".

Leonardo DiCaprio says actors are just 'clowns for hire'

Leonardo DiCaprio has revealed he doesn't take his day job too seriously - and reckons actors are just "clowns for hire".

The J Edgar star, who has been acting since childhood and made his big-screen breakthrough in the 1993 movie This Boy's Life, said he is under no illusions about the importance of his career.

He told The Sun: "I realise that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor, I do a movie, that's the end of it.

"You have to realise we are just clowns for hire."

Leonardo also admitted he had no idea the 1997 blockbuster Titanic would end up being so successful.

"I would love to say I predicted it would be one of the biggest hits in film history. I didn't - and wondered whether I should do it at all."

He added: "The fact that Kate Winslet said 'Yes' was the final decider. She was awesome. We were definitely shoulders for each other to lean on."

WHOLE INTERVIEW: :wub:

'Actors are really just clowns for hire'

Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio reveals how his mum kept him grounded

Leonardo spends much of his movie fortune on environmental projects, including two donations of £650,000 each to victims of the Haiti earthquake and wildlife conservation.

At 37, despite a succession of beautiful model and actress girlfriends, he's still a bachelor living between Los Angeles and New York.

He told GARTH PEARCE, on the week of Mother's Day, why his German-born mum is his No1 woman.

"MY mom, Irmelin, taught me the value of life. Her own life was saved by my grandmother during World War Two.

"When she was a toddler a broken leg had landed her in a German hospital.

"Refugees and soldiers were also in the hospital and she ended up contracting several major illnesses and stayed for two and a half years.

"My grandmother (Helene, who died in 2008, aged 93) came every day and nursed her back to health — the nurses did not have time. They basically left her for dead. When you see a picture of her, it's heartbreaking. It brings tears to my eyes knowing what she has been through in her life.

"I have a picture, her first photograph, with this tiny little skirt. She is emaciated with a big belly. She had a belly full of worms.

"After that, she'd make any sacrifice. She spent three hours a day, on the road from our home in Los Angeles, driving me to and from a school called Centre For Enriched Studies.

"It was a place which gave me an appreciation for the arts and life. My mom knew that to go to this "magnet school" (top free schools which draw, like a magnet, pupils from a wide area) would help my future.

"You do need parental guidance and I was in a great position with both my mum and dad.

"They split when I was a baby but even though I stayed with my mom they were both very much involved in my upbringing.

"It means I can enjoy wide interests. It made me want to travel, scuba dive, collect art, take classes in art and every place I travel I check out the museums.

"I have enjoyed watching wildlife in Africa and South America, far from Hollywood.

"My mom also taught me to get everything in perspective. I never got to the point when I was mean and cruel to people.

"I realise that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor, I do a movie, that's the end of it. You have to realise we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great, at first, not to worry about money. It was on my mind when I was growing up.

"Just being able to buy my grandmother some scarves she wanted and not have to think about it was a sign of good times. It sounds corny but it gave me happiness at the time.

"My father, George, has also affected the choices in my life regarding films. I like films that take chances or say something different or experiment. Growing up with him, I was surrounded by different artists — not just actors or film-makers but cartoonists, poets, writers.

"It was definitely part of the beatnik-hippie generation and I have vivid memories of all kinds of crazy things happening which have had influence over films I've made.

"My first love? Boy, I don't even remember. I suppose if I'd found my true love I would be married right now, wouldn't I?

"Pretentious women really turn me off. Vindictive women, too. So do opportunistic women. I think what turns me on about a girl is what most men find attractive — which is something genuine about them. Being a good person.

"Titanic? I would love to say I predicted it would be one of the biggest hits in film history. I didn't — and wondered whether I should do it at all.

"I resisted it for a long time because I had been offered the film Boogie Nights (about the 1970s porn industry, a role finally taken by Mark Wahlberg). The fact that Kate Winslet said "yes" was the final decider.

"She was awesome. We were definitely shoulders for each other to lean on. We had to be partners on the film. All the complaining in the world was done between us two, so we did not have to vent it on anyone else.

"But I am so glad to be part of that movie. Years from now, people will still be watching that film.

"I am part of something historical, in a lot of ways. It gave me so many opportunities, as an actor, to steer the course of my own destiny.

"I was able to take both my mother and grandmother to the world premiere of Titanic in London — one of my proudest moments."

^^ Really? :o

A lot of his interviews are pretty similar when it comes to commitment and his mom,

but if they have indeed 'faked' it, I think that's very shady of them to do :/

His comments about his mom and Kate are cute though :wub:

I know!!!

For me the proof that there aren't new (besides that I read it years ago) is that they not mention any of his latest movies, Only Titanic.

But indeed I also love any comments he says about his mom and off course Kate :wub:
