THE INTERVIEW
Passionate, Successful, (Single!)
Planetary Crusader and Little Kid at Heart
Leonardo DiCaprio
A man with a mission, the former pre-teen heartthrob is out to save
the world while picking up an Oscar along the way. The pinnacle
of a long and successful career, Leonardo DiCaprio was recently
granted the Oscar for Best Actor in his leading role in the film
The Revenant, directed and co-written by renowned Mexican filmmaker and
now third-time Oscar-winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu. The film was inspired by a
true story and graphically depicts the journey of one man, Leonardo DiCaprio
as the character Hugh Glass, in a fight for his life in the American wilderness.
According to Variety magazine, DiCaprio in his research for this role, “…ate
raw bison liver, learned how to shoot a musket and speak two Native American
languages (Pawnee and Arikara), studied with a doctor who specialized in
ancient healing techniques and was violently tossed around by a stunt rig for the
film’s harrowing bear-mauling sequence.”
