Speaking to German press outlet Bild, Leonardo DiCaprio says he’s pooped and taking a break from film. “I am a bit drained. I’m now going to take a long, long break. I’ve done three films in two years and I’m just worn out,” said Leo.
Three films in two years? Slow down there, champ. You don’t want to pull an acting hammie.
So what’s Leo going to do in his free time? Not dress up a mannequin and dance around with it in the living room as if it was a real woman if that’s what you were thinking. And that probably was what you were thinking. No, he’s going to “fly around the world doing good for the environment.” Much like Captain Planet but probably without the five fist bumping kids and the mullet. Probably.
Trying to not sound like one of those celebrities that takes up causes just for publicity, Leo made sure people know he’s for real. He explained,”My roof is covered with solar panels. My car is electric. A normal person does not drive more than 50 kilometres (31 miles) a day. That can be done with a plug.”
Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but it’s definitely possible for a normal person to drive more than 31 miles a day. Especially if this is a normal working person whose normal job is 25 miles away making it a 50 mile per day drive. Other than that, this is pretty commendable. Though flying could be a little counterproductive what with all the air pollution but no one tell him that. Let him have his moment.

Leonard DiCaprio covers the December “Hollywood Mavericks” issue of Details magazine, and I’m pretty unimpressed with this cover. Surely, they could have come up with a better cover shot than Leo “intensely” staring towards the photographer, and the whole cover layout seems really cheap as well. Leo is wearing a Burberry Brit shirt but looks like one of the middle management guys from Office Space. Here’s the other photo released from Details so far, and it isn’t an improvement by any stretch.
For better or worse, Leo remains one of the hottest actors (from a career standpoint) in Hollywood. His latest starring vehicles, The Great Gatsby and Django Unchained (which comes out on Christmas Day), are in the chute, and he’s still filming Wolf of Wall Street, plus his IMDb profile shows 23 films in development. However, I have never understood the huge buzz surrounding this guy. Sure, he had a big “moment” following the floppy hair of Titanic, but Leo’s ultimately grown into the form of a grumpy chihuahua. No disrespect to chihuahuas. I don’t get why he’s such a “maverick” when, really, he’s a modelizer who just got lucky enough to fall into the “muse” category with Martin Scorsese. Like, Leo’s enduring career could be attributed to Bobby DeNiro going all soft. Anyway, here are some uneventful excerpts from the Details interview:
He’s very in demand: “This has been an exceptional situation. Filming three movies back to back to back, I don’t think I’ve ever done that. In a weird way. I realize these movies are about three different periods in American history, but all have a central character trying to hold on to the privileged life they’ve been given, by any means necessary.”
His Django Unchained character, Calvin Candie: “One of, if not the most, despicable, indulgent, radical characters I’ve ever read in my life. Writer-directors tend to be very precious about their material and their words, but Quentin’s [Tarantino] whole process is getting input from the actors and adding levels to their characters. A lot of the talks we had specifically about phrenology really took him to a completely different level.”
His career choices: “Of course it’s all risky….I mean, that’s the excitement of doing it, you know? I don’t know why I choose certain films. I just gravitate toward them and I don?t question that.”
On producing: “My whole thing has been to develop material outside the studio system for myself, and this expanded to funding material I won’t necessarily star in. I don’t need to wear the producer hat while making movies, but I love to have that collaboration.”

As much as it shames me to admit, I had to google “phrenology” to figure out what the hell Leo was talking about in reference to his character development process with QT. Apparently, it’s a pseudo-science (that I’ve heard of before but forgotten the term for) where the bumps on one’s head are believed to determine one’s personality. It sounds very freaky but makes sense in terms of Leo’s sadistic character. Yeah, I still don’t know if I want to watch this movie. I love the hell out of Tarantino and will probably catch Django on DVD, but Leo is probably the only thing that will keep me from watching it in theaters. I don’t have any hatred for the guy, but he’s just so bland even while acting campy.

These are some newish photos of Leonardo DiCaprio filming in New York City over the weekend. Leo has joined with his favorite director once again, Martin Scorsese, for The Wolf of Wall Street. The film is about?well, apparently it?s based on the true story of Jordan Belfort (who is played by Leo) and his rise and fall on greedy, seedy Wall Street. Allegedly, the story has a lot of ?sex atop piles of money? and ?cocaine?.
I guess this is a period film too, judging by the dated, oversized suit Leo is wearing. Is he supposed to look like a kid wearing his dad?s suit? Because that?s what he looks like. I can?t even decide if Leo is wearing a wiglet, either. I don?t think that?s Leo?s natural hairline, but if it is a wiglet, they got a good one. I mean, John Travolta should really look into getting himself something like this. I also don?t know if Leo is wearing prosthetics on his face, or if his jawline is really that? mushy. While his face doesn?t really look bloated and carby to me, his neck and jaw definitely look weird.
So, would you hit it? I don?t think I would. But I haven?t wanted to ?hit it? with Leo in years and years. I had a brief moment of wanting him again in The Departed, but for the most part I haven?t wanted him since Romeo + Juliet.
Would you like to know who else is in the movie? Because I was surprised to see this list: Matthew McConaughey (he plays Leo’s boss), Jonah Hill, Jean Dujardin, Kyle Chandler, Jon Favreau, and voice work by Gene Hackman. Can you believe that list?! I?m incredibly proud of Jonah Hill ? I can?t believe that boy managed to get himself onto a Scorsese movie! With LEO! Good for Jonah.

Trying his best to hide his face from cameras, Leonardo DiCaprio was snapped on a Malibu beach with girlfriend Erin Heatherton on Saturday (August 11).
The "Inception" star wore khaki cargo pants and flip flops as he quickly pulled on a white polo shirt over his hat. His 23-year-old model companion wore a Pink camisole, little ruffled skirt, and sandals.

If any of you perverts are anything like me, you probably absolutely love supermodels. How could you not, they’re pure perfection. So when I got these pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend Erin Heatherton filming a sexy cheerleader car wash scene for Grown Ups II, I just had to share them with you. Supermodels and car

Cat fight! Cat fight! Back when Titaniccame out, every girl fell in love with Leonardo DiCpario, but not Kate Winslet. They just called her fat. Look who’s fat now!Kate Winslet was doing press for Titanic 3Don Daybreakthe other day and joked that she looks way better than Leonardo DiCaprio. Then she pushed up her nose and made a bunch of oinking noises. Alright, that didn’t happen but whatever.
‘We do look very different, we?re older. Leo?s 37, I?m 36 ? we were 21 and 22 when we made that film. You know, he?s fatter now ? I?m thinner. It?s true though!’ The Dailiy Mail
She’s probably just bitter that James Cameron somehow duped her into doing press for Titanic 3D(3D boobs!) and Leo managed to wiggle out of it. Which is ironic cause you wouldn’t expect him to be able to wiggle out of anything on account of him being such a fatass.

He's a favorite with the ladies, and Leonardo DiCaprio received quite the warm welcome upon turning up at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday evening (January 15).
Looking dapper in a Giorgio Armani two-button peak lapel tuxedo, the big screen stud tended to red carpet obligations before joining fellow attendees inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel venue.
Always praised for his work, DiCaprio is up for Best Actor in a Drama for his work in "J. Edgar" while competing against George Clooney, Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt.
Of the nomination, Leo told press, "I'm honored to be nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association today. I was extremely humbled to work alongside Clint [Eastwood] and the entire cast of J. Edgar, and am very excited to be recognized for my work on the film. Thank you."
As for the ceremony, Ricky Gervais is the host of the Golden Globe Awards - which air live on NBC beginning at 8PM ET/PT.

He had to endure five to six hours of makeup while making his latest film ?J. Edgar,? and Leonardo DiCapriowas a little put off by his on-screen appearance.
The ?Catch Me If You Can? stud, who attended the Los Angeles premiere of the flick last night, explained that he plans on taking better care of himself so as not to age as his character did.
"I hope I don't look anything like that! ... They were very meticulous in trying to create a very overweight version of myself but with [J. Edgar] Hoover's attributes. So I think it was a combination of both things," he shared.
Then again, with Leo?s illustrious roster of supermodel and actress ex-girlfriends, it?s unlikely he?ll be letting himself go anytime soon.

| | Leonardo DiCaprio & Blake Lively have split, their reps confirm to Us Weekly | | Added 13 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Stunning news! Well, it surprised me, in any case. Us Weekly is reporting that Leo DiCaprio and Blake Lively are done. Blake has been working in LA and NYC for a few months, while Leo has been in Australia, filming The Great Gatsby. Is it a distance thing? A work schedule thing? Or is it something else? LaineyGossip just reported yesterday that Blake was spotted having dinner with Ryan Reynolds, who she allegedly might have gotten close to when they filmed The Green Lantern. But Us Weekly just makes it sound like it was the distance thing:
It was fun while it lasted!
After five months together, Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio have parted ways, reps for both stars confirm exclusively to Us Weekly.. The pair “remain friends,” Lively and DiCaprio’s reps added.
First spotted getting cozy while aboard Steven Spielberg’s yacht in Monte Carlo on May 17 during the Cannes Film Festival, the couple embarked on a whirlwind, super-luxe summer romance that spanned the globe. During their time together, the Gossip Girl actress, 24, and Inception star, 36, took their PDA parade to romantic locales ranging from Venice, Italy to Anaheim, Calif. to NYC. In late August, Lively even flew thousands of miles from the U.S. to Sydney, Australia — for a quick weekend — where her beau was filming The Great Gatsby.
Weeks before he and Lively became an item, DiCaprio and model Bar Rafaeli called it quits on their on-and-off, five-year relationship. Back in October 2010, Lively and Gossip Girl costar Penn Badgley ended their three-year romance.
The pair’s recent split is sure to come as a surprise to some DiCaprio pals, one of whom told Us they’d “never seen him like this with a girl.” Back in June, the couple were ensconced in DiCaprio’s L.A. home, where Lively “spent the whole time baking….Leo’s never dated a girl who can cook. And he’s smitten!” The duo also bonded with one another’s parents.
Echoed another insider this summer: “I bet they get engaged in six months.”
As for Lively, she’s long said she never lets public opinion affect her relationships.
“I have a strong sense of myself. That gives me a sense of security, you know? Every relationship you have, you’re learning and growing and taking something from that,” the actress recently told Glamour magazine. “So for me, it’s never been too dramatic of a thing when something ends.”
[From Us Weekly]
It’s interesting that both of their reps confirmed it to Us Weekly, right? How do you think it went down? Leo dumped her over the phone and Blake wanted to be the one to announce it, but Leo was like, “No, we’ll both confirm it”? I don’t know. I’m disappointed, though. I think very highly of Blake’s game, and I hoped that she and Leo would make it through the awards season.
Sigh… maybe they’ll get back together?
