Leo Stays Out of the Limelight

Top Stories Today

Fri, 09/15/2006 - 12:25am by PopSugar

In a few weeks The Departed comes out and we can't wait to see this movie. Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Marky Mark and Leo. What a cast! Oh and did we mention it's a Scorsese film? Leo sounds a little like Ben Affleck these days when it comes to being private. He said:

"I really feel the most important part of being an actor is to keep his personal life to himself.... The less I know about an actor's daily activities, the less baggage I bring to his performance."

Ever since the Titanic craziness Leo has tried to lay-low. However, his acting and movie roles have gotten better each year. We look forward to checking this film out next month.

It's really been a while since he was seen outside the last time. I am not that excited about the mowie, but it's true he is a good actor.

He is so ugly! I mean he was never my type of boy, but he was cute in the growin pains - times. But still all his face-hair didn´t make him look like a real man.

I fell in love with him with Gilbert Grape and The Basketball Diaries, was undecided about Titanic, fell out of love with THe Gangs of NY and started to like him again with The Aviator...so, I just wait and see.

I think he is one of the best actors out there. He was awesome in the Tom Hanks movie where he was money forger or something like that...I'm so bad with names of movies, lol. As for his looks...I think he looks so scruffy 99.9 percent of the time that it's hard to tell if he's still handsome or not! I agree with his thoughts on acting and privacy.

Skye, Cath Me if You Can, the movie was based on a true story. He played Frank Abnagal Jr, I don't know if I spelled that right, but the guy said Leo nailed his character and mannerism to a tee. I think he's a brilliant actor. I bet he nailed down Howard Hughs too in the Aviator. He was nominated for an Oscar for Arnie in Gilbert Grape.
Whats with the fact that he still has his beach hair.

Otherhalf, have you ever seen Gilbert Grape? He plays the mentally retarded brother of Johnny Depp. The performance ranks up with Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man, it was really awesome.

every since gilbert grape. even in his sucky movies (the beach) he looked hot. don't know what "it" is, but he's got it in rare form. and i like how even tho he is this superstar, he keeps his personal life below the radar. others could learn from him.

i have a kitty named "leonardo dicatprio" cause i luvs him so much.

My comment was held up, to be reviewed, I guess. You will know when it happens to you. Leo was awesome in that movie, he stole the show, even away from Depp and was nominated for an Oscar for it. Smiling I'm not a die hard Leo fan either, I just think he's mega talented actor. Titanic had to be the worst display of his acting, but then again, the script sucked ass.

I totally agree with him. The attention some actors get does affect thier work. I do think Ben Affleck got much more critisizm at that time for what was going on in his life.

GOOD ACTORS do not want free publicity like Jessica Simspon. They just don't need it. If you have nothing to offer but pretty outfits and photo opps, then you will take ANY publicity. Leo is a fine actor, he carries films and is convincing. I do not Martin Scorcese would work with him that often if he was not incredible.

I would never say Leo is "incredible" but he is a convincing-enough actor, good looking, and I like that he seems really down to earth and that he is not whoring himself around the paparrazi

He's a good actor, but I've never seen what made all the girls swoon over him.

wynter..he is hiding that for private Smiling He kinda has a goofy edge to him in real life and only rarely does he shed it in the movies so that I can see the attraction. The Aviator was probably one of his best performances and he was robbed by Tommy Lee Jones for the Oscar. ROBBED.

Mar, I couldn't agree more. If you are a fine actor, then you just don't need all the publicity. Your work stands on it's own.

The reason I find him to be so good, is the fact that I CRIED MY EYES OUT , and still do in the scene in Titanic where he dies. I really beleived they were in love, I really bought the story, and I never cry like a baby at movies. If an actor can touch me ( not literally of course) then, in my eyes, he is incredible.
