A megastar for almost 30 years, the hunky actor leads the way in 2019’s hottest movie

Megastar Leo Leads The Way In 2019's Hottest Film

Starting out as a child star in TV shows like Parenthood and Growing Pains, it’s hard to imagine Leonardo DiCaprio would go on to become one of the greatest actors of all time. However, after winning critical acclaim and an Oscar nomination in 1993’s What’s Eating Gilbert Grape at just 19 years old, his career quickly went from strength to strength.

Now, almost three decades later, Leo, 44, has consistently delivered powerful performances and acclaims, which have set him apart from his peers – and he’s got as much of a handle on Hollywood as he’s ever going to! But there are moments when the Titanic star thinks about how things could’ve been so different were it not for a whole lot of talent and a huge dollop of luck.

Here, Leo talks about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, what it’s like working with Aussie starlet Margot Robbie and Hollywood heavyweight Brad Pitt and why he was so eager to play an actor whose luck just ran out…

What was it like working with Quentin Tarantino again?

When Quentin calls you, whether you’re on earth or Mars, you pay attention! Quentin is a very special filmmaker. He’s truly one of the best writers and directors; one of the most artistic voices in our industry. This film is a throwback to the type of Hollywood epics we don’t get to see anymore. I was immediately fascinated by the story of these two outsiders – a stuntman and an actor – trying to get a foot in this new world.

Have you ever felt like an outsider in Hollywood?
