Leo Hikes His Pants Up and Gets Down on Shutter Island

Molly — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:00:45 -0700

Leonardo DiCaprio has been hard at work on the set of Shutter Island, immersing himself into the character's penchant for all-white clothing alongside director Martin Scorsese. The duo, along with the rest of the cast, have been causing quite a stir and some amazing celebrity sightings in Hull, MA, where they've been shooting, though they are hoping to wrap before the possible actors' strike. Meanwhile across the country, Leo's long, drawn-out basketball court lawsuit was finally settled out of court, so that must be a nice sigh of relief heading into a relaxing holiday weekend.

Leo and Michelle's Weekend on Shutter Island

Molly — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:30:38 -0700

Leonardo DiCaprio and Michelle Williams got to work on Shutter Island in Boston on Saturday where Leo was in head to toe white showing off his jazz hands and Michelle debuted her new extensions. With two of our favorites at the helm (and Scorsese directing) I'm excited to see them getting to work even though we have a long patient wait before it's finally on the big screen. By Sunday Leo was back in NYC for a little bike ride around town with beautiful Bar. Looks like a lovely eco-friendly way to spend a Spring afternoon.

Michelle Gives Vogue Her First Post-Heath Interview

PopSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:14:59 -0700

Michelle Williams graces the cover of Vogue's October issue, opening up about Heath Ledger for her first magazine interview since his death. The actress looks gorgeous as she promotes her pushed-back Shutter Island and provides us an in-depth look at how she and Matilda are dealing with their life after Heath's passing. She reveals she is no longer dating Spike Jonze, but sounds like she's staying strong as a single parent. Here's more:

On dealing with Heath's death: "I have been severely accident-prone over the past 12 months. I fell downstairs, broke a toe, put my fingers in a blender - seriously distracted. [I would often] cry, nap, sit and stare, try to figure out what to make [Matilda] for dinner, talk to friends on the phone. I was holding it together by a string and a paper clip in the Fall and Winter. I didn’t know if I could keep it all together."
On grieving with Matilda: "I just don’t see the upside to this. You console yourself by saying it’s all a deepening process. But it’s weird. After the first year, the pain is less intense; it’s less immediate. But the magical thinking goes away, too. And that’s a whole new reckoning. But every time I really miss him and wonder where he’s gone, I just look at her."
On splitting with Spike Jonze: "The timing was impossible. I thought falling in love again was the only thing that was going to save me from the pain. This erroneous idea: it just makes things more complicated."

On before Heath died: "Brokeback Mountain was an unrepeatable moment in time, a very charmed time in my life. I was in love; I was in a movie I was proud to be a part of, and with a beautiful brand-new baby. Everything was good in that moment. [After we split I started filming a movie in Sweden because] I just didn’t want to be at home. Geography is a great solution for heartbreak."
On waiting so long before she started to do interviews: "I didn’t know what my boundaries were for a long time, which made interviews feel very unsafe. I can talk about grief, because that’s mine; about single parenting; about trying to balance work and kids. But what I don’t have to talk about is what happened between Heath and me in our relationship."
On dating while having a daughter: "I obviously don’t know how to [date with a child, but] I’m falling more and more in love with her and I think she deserves the bulk of my attention. We’re lucky. I can work. She can go to a good school. There’s a lot there for her. And she can know her dad in so many ways, and so many of his friends who will be able to tell her so many stories. His friends, his family - they were a big part of his life, and they will be a big part of her life."
On her future: "I feel hopeful and grateful. For a while I thought we had lost everything. It makes you want to love better and live better and treat people better.There is a great Gloria Steinem quote - and I’m paraphrasing - ‘Become the man you want to marry.’ I’ve taken that on. What qualities do I find attractive, and can I find them in myself? What am I missing? Can I be that for myself?"

Michelle and Matilda Get Back to Business in Brooklyn

PopSugar — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 10:30:33 -0700

Michelle Williams and Matilda Ledger were up early on a gray morning Sunday to grab coffees in their Brooklyn neighborhood. The girls haven't been spending too much time in their home borough with Michelle's busy work schedule, but with the pushed-back release date of Shutter Island hopefully they can enjoy some time together at home. Michelle joined a few of her adult friends for a meal in Manhattan on a sunnier afternoon last week, but she always seems to be in her element during her outings with Matilda.

PopSugar — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 07:00:00 -0700

Leonardo DiCaprio loosened up his collar on the Paris set of Inception Thursday, looking happy after his long week of work. He's focused on his current project, but Leo's also dealing with his future and past films - Shutter Island's release has been pushed back from October to next February. Also, his production company just signed Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke to get behind the camera on their upcoming The Girl With the Red Riding Hood. The remake of the classic story will also feature an angsty teenage love story, which sounds like familiar territory for Catherine.

Leonardo DiCaprio took his bike for a ride around London yesterday after grabbing lunch at Fifty. Staying true to his environmentalism, Leo is doing his part to stay eco-friendly while he's in town filming Inception. His next movie, Shutter Island, hits theaters in October which means Leo has some time to enjoy the rest of the Summer before heading back to the states for his promotional duties.

Leo Sells His House While His Lakers Win the Championships

PopSugar — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 09:00:16 -0700

Leonardo DiCaprio wore a Gators hat when he grabbed food to go in LA on Saturday, and last night he must have been thrilled to watch his beloved Lakers win the NBA championship. While we doubt he'll ever give up his courtside seats, Leonardo did successfully sell his Malibu house, which may mean less time in California for late night bookstore runs with Bar. Leonardo has a number of projects in the works, but we'll see him on the big screen next when Shutter Island is out this Fall - ICYMI, watch the chilling trailer here.
