Have a laugh with Leo
USA Weekend: Leo and Tobey
Actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire competed against each other in the early 1990s for a coveted role opposite Robert De Niro in This Boy’s Life (the breakthrough role went to DiCaprio), but the two have been great friends ever since. DiCaprio even hosted an awards party in Los Angeles recently for his pal Maguire, nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in Brothers as an American soldier who returns home from Afghanistan after he was presumed dead. “We’ve watched our careers sort of come to fruition together,” DiCaprio says, “and to see him give a performance like this was astounding.
“I remember before Tobey left for the film,” he continues, “we had a conversation about what he was getting prepared to do, and he dug so incredibly emotionally deep. I think talking to a lot of the vets that came back really moved him, and he infused so much of that into the character. He lost an incredible amount of weight, and he just took on the post-traumatic shock that a lot of these guys come back with and put that on the screen in a way that I don’t think I’ve ever seen in cinema before. It’s my favorite thing he’s ever done.”
DiCaprio, who plays a World War II vet in director Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island opening Feb. 19, might have been in the Oscar hunt with Maguire this awards season had his film opened last October, as originally planned. Even if that were the case and both actors had been fortunate enough to be considered for the leading-actor Oscar this March, he and Maguire never would view each other as rivals, DiCaprio says.
“We have one of those rare Hollywood relationships where there would be absolutely zero jealousy,” DiCaprio says, laughing. “We’re way past that. It would be a complete congratulatory situation.”
For more about DiCaprio, read this weekend’s issue of USA WEEKEND Magazine inside the Sunday edition of the Wausau Daily Herald and Central Wisconsin Sunday.

| With Valentine’s Day around the corner, USA WEEKEND Magazine asked actor Leonardo DiCaprio, one of Hollwyood’s most famous bachelors, to share his favorite romantic singers. It turns out he’s pretty old-school. “No. 1, and this being crown out of all of them,” DiCaprio says, “is Mr. Stevie Wonder, who is just the greatest of all time, in my opinion. Under him, you have your Bill Withers, your Al Green, of course, Marvin Gaye. And, oh, why am I forgetting his name now …” DiCaprio snaps his fingers and sings (in a pretty good tune, we might add): “ ‘Cupid, draw back your bow’ — Sam Cooke! And Otis Redding. That’s the stuff that I listen to with a girl, for sure.” |

| Zitat: |
Leo was on ENews and the Daily 10. He wore a blue long sleeve tshirt and he looked really cute.
- He said his “big romance was talking about Shutter Island for Valentines Day.” Plans to settle down “Sure absolutely, someday it will happen.” They said he is keeping his relationship with Bar on the “down low” but they “squeezed what they could out of the Shutter Island star on plans to settle down.” They got nothing.
-Michael Yo asked him about paps and how he saw him in Target with Bar and Leo & asked him how he handled it. Leo said that “there are world tragedies going on right now but it always shocks him when people (paps) pop out of nowhere - it is difficult, nobody can never get used to it, it is never a relaxing experience, media and culture is perpetuating it even more.” Michael asked him who is gonna get the SI cover and he said he did not know. He was laughing and Michael said you have no idea and he said I have no idea.

USA Weekend: Leonardo DiCaprio: 'I keep things light in my life.'
We know that Leonardo DiCaprio is an electrifying actor, an ardent environmentalist and a supermodel magnet.
What hardly anyone outside his inner circle knows is perhaps the most surprising thing about him: DiCaprio can be quite juvenile. His idea of fun is to sit around with his buddies and make up ridiculous characters and then try to do their voices. "I'm actually an incredible goofball," says DiCaprio, whose new film, Shutter Island, opens in two weeks. "I do imitations and joke around all day. I keep things light in my life."
DiCaprio tilts his head, lifts his eyebrows and puts on a small, "I know it's hard to believe" type of smile that is supposed to convince me. It's a Sunday afternoon in London, and he is stretched out in a plush hotel suite, sporting a dark suit, crisp dress shirt and sneakers. In person, DiCaprio is ruggedly handsome and tall (6 feet). He no longer looks like the pubescent romantic hero of Titanic. That epic on the water, released more than a decade ago, transformed "Leo" from an art-house actor into a phenomenon. Ever since, it seems he has been trying to prove himself. He needn't argue the case anymore.
At 35, DiCaprio is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation, a three-time Oscar nominee who has blockbuster hits and a heavyweight collaborator in director Martin Scorsese.If he does, as he says, keep things light, he has yet to show us that side of himself onscreen. His characters are, almost without exception, troubled or tortured: a state cop who infiltrates the mob (The Departed), a Rhodesian smuggler (Blood Diamond) and a demented recluse (The Aviator). Even in Catch Me If You Can, a breezy caper directed by Steven Spielberg, DiCaprio found a way to add some anguish to his quick-witted con man."It's never a conscious thing," he says. "I just try to be a part of films that move people. A lot of times, those are the darker side of humanity, I suppose."
Shutter Island could be his darkest to date. DiCaprio plays a U.S. marshal investigating a mysterious disappearance at an eerie institution for the criminally insane. Digging for clues, he and his partner (Mark Ruffalo) uncover a disturbing secret just as a hurricane hits, trapping them on the remote island. The movie, based on a Dennis Lehane novel and directed by Scorsese, is a Gothic horror-style thriller with Hitchcockian twists. "People should watch this movie two times," DiCaprio suggests. "It's going to seem like one thing on the first go-round and something entirely different on the second."
DiCaprio says he wasn't fully prepared for the depths his character, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, had to go to. "There are sequences toward the end, some of the more hard-core weeks of filming I've ever had, where we kept pushing this character to places that are almost uncomfortable to witness," he says.The word "emotion" comes up often when DiCaprio talks about his work. He sometimes says things like "the gravity of the character," or "until you've lived a portion of this person's life on set, moments in scripts can be passed by with a flick of the page."
But he's not always Mr. Dramatic. He can reel off his favorite YouTube clips and thinks the Borat and Bruno movies are "just out of the park, dude." He's also a reality TV junkie. "I find it the funniest and most entertaining stuff on TV," he says, cracking up. "We're so hilarious, when we don't even try to be."
DiCaprio, the son of an underground comics distributor, grew up in the Silver Lake section of Hollywood. "At a young age," he says, "I was exposed to, like, the most hard-core hippie subculture any young man would be subject to, with the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, Zap and Weirdo comics. You name it, I was reading it."
With the comic book craze in Hollywood, you'd think that DiCaprio's production company, Appian Way (which boasts about two dozen projects "in development"), might be adapting some of those buried classics from his childhood. But when I bring this up, he just laughs and says, "You know, that's a great idea. I might take it straight to the old production company." (We can talk about fees later, Leo.)
As a child, DiCaprio was a "big-time extrovert." He loved bagging contests, where a bunch of kids would sit in a circle insulting one another for hours to see who could get the most laughs. "That's how I really became an actor," he says.Following his breakthrough role in 1993's This Boy's Life, DiCaprio had a choice: collect big money for a Disney movie about witches or pursue this other role he might not even get, as a mentally disabled teen in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. He chose the latter, a decision that paid off, with interest, when DiCaprio scored his first Oscar nomination. "There were a lot of people urging me to go in the other direction," he says.
When people in Hollywood talk about DiCaprio, they tend to gush, even the normally reserved. Shutter Island co-star Ben Kingsley says DiCaprio's performance in 1996's Romeo & Juliet "was the best Romeo I've ever seen," which is saying something. Kingsley has been a member of the prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company since 1967. These days, DiCaprio pretty much can pick what he wants to do next. He regularly turns down action movies and dramas, but, aside from his cameo in Woody Allen's 1998 satire Celebrity, he claims he has never been offered a comedy. He says he'd be "scared to try it."
This is just the kind of talk that makes DiCaprio's friends shake their heads. For years, the rapper-actor Q-Tip has encouraged his buddy to do Saturday Night Live. "I'm not trying to dis, but his comedic stuff [might be even better] than his dramatic stuff," Q-Tip says. "He has a great physical side to his comedy, and he can do cerebral, hilarious. When the world sees Leo do comedy, I think everybody's going to really see his genius."
Scorsese (who, remember, directed The King of Comedy) says: "The thing is, you have to have a really strong sense of humor in order to do these dark roles. On Shutter Island, too, as tough as it was to make, there were very funny moments between Leo, Mark and myself. Ask him about the rain."When I do, DiCaprio chuckles. "It was insanity," he says. "At one point, I think I was singing Bob Dylan tunes. We had these giant rain machines going during one scene, and Mark and I couldn't hear a word we were saying. Not only that, we couldn't see because they had giant fans blowing stuff and trees falling on either side of us. It became almost like a slapstick routine."
Which makes you wonder, what kind of comedy would DiCaprio go for? When asked about it point-blank, he's stumped: "Peter Sellers had some great comedic roles. Those would've been amazing to try." And then it hits him. "Yeah, that's it: Dr. Strange love," DiCaprio says. "Dark!"

dieses interview ist so schön! wie leo erzählt das er dinge immer leicht im leben nimmt und jeden tag witze macht und leute imitiert, find ich so cool. er bezeichnet sich selbst als goofball was soviel wie spinner oder knalltüte bedeutet.
sein kumpel q-tip findet das leo mehr talent für comedy hat als für dramen-aber leo hat angst davor eine komödie zu probieren- interessant.
leo erzählt auch das er reality tv-serien junkie ist. und das er borat gut fand.
find auch den letzten teil cool wo scorsese sagt das man so dunkle rollen nur schafft wenn man auch humor hat. und das, so hart die szenen auch waren, leo, mark und scorsese immer spass gemacht haben. leo hat songs von bob dylan gesungen als die windmaschinen und der regen wie verrückt auf ihn "eindreschten". das find ich auch sehr witzig.
das bild zum interview find ich auch superschön.

When a moviegoer thinks of Leonardo DiCaprio, a few things probably come to mind: sailing on a very big boat with Kate Winslet in Titanic, perhaps; inhabiting the ambition and eccentricity of Howard Hughes in The Aviator; or maybe going toe to toe with Jack Nicholson and a wicked Boston accent in The Departed. What you don’t know is that this serious actor can be a little silly off-screen, as he reveals in this weekend’s cover story. “I’m actually an incredible goofball,” he says. “I do imitations and joke around all day.” By now, he most likely has a decent imitation of iconic director Martin Scorsese, since the two have collaborated on Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed and Shutter Island, a thriller based on the Dennis Lehane novel that opens Feb. 19.
