Leonardo DiCaprio's transformation into a Silesian peasant is complete

He looks like Leonardo Dicaprio with a beard.

He didn't just hit the wall. He went through the wall, landed on the pavement, and got hit by a truck.

Of course, when you're worth $300 million you probably don't give a fuck what you look like.

Why is OP posting pictures of Pavorotti in a DiCaprio thread?

He worked hard for this!

fried

The beard, is he going all out Muzzie now?

See? Hollywood is now trying to make The Hobo Beard a thing because they are troll central of The World.

Who go from this, to that?:

Aging happens. he looks fine.

He reminds of Tevye from "Fiddler on the Roof".

This is the real Leonardo DiCaprio

The hobo beard has absolutely nothing to do with aging, unless he's now too feeble to lift some cream or soap to his face and shave or trim.

Um, he only has that hobo beard to conceal his double chin. Like duh.

It's for the film Revenant. He's still gorgeous, bright, and charming. He deserves a pass from the schadenfreude that permeates this board.

R13 "Schadenfreude"? I think he's gorgeous. I'd gladly clean him up because he clearly needs that kind of one on one care.

Please kill yourself, r13.

Prematurely middle-aged, looks ten years older than 40 or whatever he is. Very unbecoming styles don't help.

He looks like a young Burl Ives.

I can't decide whether he's going to end up as a fat Nicholson or as an untalented Orson Welles.

Either way he is now officially unfuckable.

Those Kraut genes have won out.

The straights can have him! He's hideous now!

I just love you.

All he needs is the tender love and care of a loyal personal trainer.

Be honest, are former hotties looking less than hot because they're getting older, or because they're partying is catching up to them?

Dear 15, your post proves me to be correct. You type like your home is poorly decorated.

[r21]Sorry Belvin but your lover is becoming as hideous as Leo with his dirty beard

He smokes, drinks and clearly eats like shit. He and Ryan Phillipe are the same age and the latter still looks good. Has nothing to do with age. Leo could easily look good, he just refuses to give a shit unless it's for a role.

r13 The revenant finished shooting over 2 months ago. No excuse for that mess.

He will lose it when the role requires it he always does.

He still gets more dick than all of ya.

r13, He is doing reshoots now. I worked on the script. There were additional scenes he was called back for. And stills.

I think he does Jack Nicholson tremendously. Both on film and in real-life.

r25 You forgot the drugging. That swollen and sweaty head of his reads coke bloat

r29 Reshoots already. That doesn't sound like a good sign. Isn't this the movie Tom Hardy and the director were fighting?

They are rebooting "The Brass Bottle" and still are looking for the Tony Randall and Barbara Eden roles. Leo will bring a 'fresh" new look to the genie role.

Is Leoneado Dicaprio that good of an actor to have this kind of career? I mean, I'm kind of shocked by the caliber of roles.

The answer r34, is yes. He's very good in those roles. He's been recognized as a good actor throughout his career.

He has? Hmmm...

He squeals when he yells. If I were a highly visible actor, I'd take voice and breathing lessons.

R29 No wonder you're a brainless sycophant.

I don't think he cares. DiCaprio is getting love from a hot guy in a yatch in Cannes.

Like a lot of US actors, Leo is a high school dropout and it shows. Clooney can play sophisticated and knowledgeable people, but Di Caprio cannot.

He's ready for the Sebastian Cabot role in a reboot of "Family Affair" as a movie franchise.

Cabot:

I really believe he wants to be Jack Nicholson. He even sounds like him in interviews and movies and he has Nicholson's facial expressions. It started with The Departed.

Jack Dawson is now Capt. Smith.

R22 DiCaprio has a baby face. This is not about his age. Paul Newman was beautiful like a statue into his 70's. DiCaprio is -- like every, other pretty boy in Hollywood -- working overtime to look like hell because apparently, it will bring some wisdom and authenticity into his life.

If you have a natural gift, like hotness, you look after it. DiCaprio is squandering his gift.

I voted r2 for wit and wisdom

[quote]Like a lot of US actors, Leo is a high school dropout and it shows. Clooney can play sophisticated and knowledgeable people, but Di Caprio cannot.

This is such amazingly stupid shit. There was a Letterman clip posted earlier in the thread from when DiCaprio was 19. He was clearly far more intelligent than most actors being interviewed at that age.

Yes, he was intelligent at 19. Too bad he hasn't progressed an inch since then 20-odd years later.

All his posse are former child actors like him, uneducated and immature. Child actors never grow up. That's why they have so many problems.

[quote]Like a lot of US actors, Leo is a high school dropout and it shows. Clooney can play sophisticated and knowledgeable people, but Di Caprio cannot.

Clooney dropped out of college, following up with jobs selling shoes and picking tobacco.

Hardly ready for the brain trust.

Clooney may have been a shoe salesman, but he is a producer who has some good movies in his collection. Very savvy guy.

Leo doesn't do much when not acting except hang out and party.

[quote]He smokes, drinks and clearly eats like shit. He and Ryan Phillipe are the same age and the latter still looks good.

Ryan Phillippe is also a smoker and a drinker.

R40 = George Clooney

[quote]Silesian peasant

Funny as hell.

To me he looks more like a carny redneck.

There's a photo of him up on Dlist. His head is absolute round like a pumpkin. I bet even when he finishes the movie he'll keep a beard, hoping it makes his face look thinner.

There is absolutely no definition in his face. He went from baby faced to fathead.

When Leo was a kid, I literally thought that he would never look old. He had this eternally youthful quality about him, and he still looked young even in his late 20's.

Gorgeous!

Leo has always had a great head of hair.

He's this generation's James Dean. Bisexuality, and all.

He did nothing to me when he was a pretty boy. The first time I though he had any looks was in Great Gatsby. And that's gone now. Keanu, on the other hand. I thought he was perfect in Point Blanc, Speed and Matrix. He was just beyond beyond in Matrix.

Perfect as a munchkin.

A serious, successful - artistically successful actor - would be studying privately or be coached by the best or be in a theatre company. Doing the cap pulled low thing, hanging out with dimwits in Ibiza would get really boring for me.

I suppose he got tired of reading about his "beards"...decided to grow one.

I do not care how much dick he is able to to pay for, that mofo is ugly and gross.

[quote] Doing the cap pulled low thing, hanging out with dimwits in Ibiza would get really boring for me.

To be fair, he does it in Cannes, Thailand, and Tahiti, as well.

LOL, trust me... living the life of the rich and famous, traveling the world, staying in the finest hotels, drinking champagne, eating the best foods, partying on yachts with the best looking people, and having sex with whichever of them that you choose, will NEVER get old.

And just think... he has enough money to do it for the rest of his life.

Yes, it really does suck to be you.

That's what I'm saying, R66. Those people are basically starfuckers, coked out sweaty Eurotrash, equally fucked up childhood friends of ill repute, the Kanyes of the world, posers, not artists. Maybe some cool people randomly in the mix. I see the sorrow in old detached hair extensions blowing in the warm wind across the deck of a yacht I can't even appreciate anymore. Being zoned out and "Hollywood cool" (gross) are not my style. Money is raw material. I'm saying I'd do something righteous with it, that's for damn sure

In R57's picture he looks like a conceited small-town dyke, or Brandon Teena.

Yeesh

Cuddles DiCaprio

[quote]Be honest, are former hotties looking less than hot because they're getting older, or because they're partying is catching up to them?

But you're the expert at looking like 68 when you're really 75. Tell us how you do it when your life is a whirlwind of parties.

Had River Phoenix lived, would he be as big a star as Leo is?

R72 River wanted to do "Basketball Diaries" and was actively pushing for the role around the time of his death. Lots of people think Leo was the go-to "pretty blonde boy" in a way he might not have been had River still been around.

Ew. I remember being in 8th grade and watching channel one news. During a commercial break they showed an ad for romeo and juliet. When Leo came on the screen the girls screamed in unison. Wonder what they think of him now.

"LOL, trust me... living the life of the rich and famous, traveling the world, staying in the finest hotels, drinking champagne, eating the best foods, partying on yachts with the best looking people, and having sex with whichever of them that you choose, will NEVER get old."

Smart people know how to balance this tempting array of treats with other things. For discerning types it does get old.

Although it is fun.

When I saw his photo the first thing that I thought that he might say is" Rudolph, with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?

What's up with his tiny pudgy hand?

[quote]I do not care how much dick he is able to to pay for, that mofo is ugly and gross.

You can say that again. Fucking disgusting.

I bet he smells like booze and ass.

I never cared much for DiCaprio. He's done nothing useful in his life except act in some good movies (Inception, Catch Me If You Can) and some very bad ones (The Great Gatsby, The Basketball Diary). He fucks models because they're all whores anyway and they don't care about nothing but publicity. He doesn't seem to be a husband material. He's a cokehead who parties with nouve riche oligarchs who're only with him for the sake of fame. All of his friends are yes-men. In a way, I feel sorry for him, but I know that his life is what most of straight middle aged bored men dream of.

That pic reminds me of the article that said many men have feces in their beards.

He's not interested in looking like a hot guy

Get over it

I remember seeing him for the first time, watching "Romeo and Juliet" in High School English class. it was like someone shot me through with an arrow of infatuation. He went on to play so, many interesting roles but I felt that again when he played Jay Gatsby.

Maybe Baz Luhrmann is the one who can convince him to scrub down? He doesn't look like lesbian, he looks gorgeous. Everyone has their thing but I love classically beautiful men. He just has to embrace who he is. He's never going to look like Robert De Niro or Bruce Willis and that's okay.

If he tries to rough it up, he's just going to look like pretty, little Leonardo Dicaprio, with a fake, grungy beard on.

r34 Leo is a one note actor. Not much range, but he is a top rated actor because he probably blew all the right people when he was a sexy little thing. He's like the Beyonce of Hollywood. Fairly talented and the rest is just the PR machine hyping him up.

Pipe down, Leo AKA R81

r72I think the right question should be 'If River had lived, would DiCaprio be such a big star'?

London Dicaprio fans and it's a fun, kick-off The Summer film:

Romeo + Juliet is receiving a special screening next month with a live choir.

The 1996 movie, directed by Baz Luhrmann, will be screened at St Mary's Church near Baker Street in London among candlelit surroundings, courtesy of Backyard Cinema.

Some Voices Choir will be performing some of the soundtrack classics, including 'Everybody's Free' and 'Kissing You'.

The event will be available for three nights, from Thursday, May 28 to Saturday, May 30.

"It is really exciting for us to be showing such an iconic film of so many of our teenage years, said Backyard Cinema founder Dominic Davies.

"It was almost an institution for English classes around the country, and I have no doubt the main reason any of us started to understand and appreciate Shakespeare.

"A beautiful church inspired by the final scene of the movie is the perfect setting to screen it, and upon hearing the choir perform those iconic '90s anthems, it really does become something special. We can't wait to show people."

This was from "Digital Spy". For some reason, DL won't let me post with the link.

R83 I find his immediacy and intensity onscreen, very compelling. He's charismatic and eminently watchable. He comes onscreen and you're drawn to him.

I don't know what that means for measuring his acting against others but he definitely has star quality. I'm not surprised he is where he is now.

R68 He's a man. He has male genitalia. Just because he's pretty and has more ethereal features, that doesn't mean he's any less of a man. This is just more shaming of anyone who likes poetic looking men. I can't stand it.

He's homeless looking when he's not on the screen. He's not ethereal, he looks like he stinks, like Brad Pitt.

I also think Leo looks like he stinks in most of the candid photos I've seen of him. He's always scruffy-looking and wearing hobo clothes.

" I'm saying I'd do something righteous with it, that's for damn sure"

Well, he bought an island that he's turning into an eco-resort. I'm sure being the owner of a luxury "eco-resort" is probably DiCaprio's version of "righteous."

He's one of those "environmental" celebs who travel everywhere by private jet, and owns several homes. Like Sting and Bono.

At least he's hanging with women around his age!

r92 His hypocrisy regarding his environmental endeavours is one of the things that annoy me. Plus he is ridiculously overrated.

I can't believe someone dared call him an 'ethereal beauty'. Especially when he's walking around looking fat and hairy. His beauty days ended about 15 years ago

Leo is meant to smell pretty bad. I believe some poor girl he tried to hit on ran to the tabloids and talked about Leo's bad hygiene

R94 Bullshit. He was beautiful in Gatsby.

There's a reason I cast Rob Reiner as his dad in Wolf of Wall Street.

A few people in this thread have compared him to Jack Nicholson. Can I just say he is NO Jack Nicholson. Have you ever seen a Jack Nicholson film? Leo is not in his league in terms of charisma and screen presence.

I did a search but couldn't find to copy and paste. There were some great posts on here during the Oscar campaign last year.

During the Oscar campaign for Wolf, Leo's publicists were going all out, spamming every "entertainment" forum on the internet hoping to influence any Academy voters who might be lurking on them. Leo was desperate for that Oscar and was going around doing personal meet & greets with any potential Academy voter he could find. The whole "Leo's overdue and it's his time!" campaign was going and trying to overtake McConaughey's lead. It was especially galling for Leo that it was McBongo because Academy voters who got bored halfway through WoWS watching Leo scream his lines and turned it off, all remembered McBongo's funny cameo.

A poster who was obviously closely connected to Cameron piped up, complaining that Leo was a total pain in the ass on Titanic, physically uncoordinated and incapable of doing even stunts a child actor could do, whining all the time. It was Cameron who had picked Leo over the studio's choice which was McBongo. Cameron ended up bitching all through the shoot how much he regretted picking Leo.

If Leo had not been in Titanic, he would have disappeared by now.

hEY, GO FUCK YOURSELVES,we're way hotter than Leo.

r96 Beautiful??? Airbrushed picture. Plus you can thank movie magic for making him look half way decent for that particular role. Look what a gigantic blob he is in between movies. That's your 'ethereal' beautiful fave. Loool

Interesting, R99. McBongo would have been better - more working class and rough and ready, vs the rich and tweezed Billy Zane. Kate Winslet looked at times like Leo's mother (or babysitter).

[quote]Look what a gigantic blob he is in between movies.

In the mind of an anorexic fag, maybe.

[quote] Leo was a total pain in the ass on Titanic, physically uncoordinated and incapable of doing even stunts a child actor could do, whining all the time.

In Leo's defense, people with Asperger's have very poor fine motor skills. It's a hallmark of the disorder.

Leo has Aspergers?

He exhibits many of the classic symptoms of Asperger's. I'm not going to type all of them out here, but Wiki it if you're interested.

His problem is his head is a giant, undefined block. There exists no plastic surgery that can correct that. He will just get fatter and fatter with every passing year.

Leo has mild OCD.

R106 I know a little about Aspergers but I've never noticed him showing any symptoms.

It's for a part: "Santa: The Early, Alcoholic Years"

That was a nice bit of gossip r99. I never bought that Leo was unfazed by Oscar snub. What is your thinking regarding the politics of him being ignored by the academy?

After years of fighting the pretty in order to qualify as "serious", Leo has now finally and irreversibly defeated it.

I see a Gallo ad in his future.

Damn r110 What the fuck happened to him? I bet he has yellow teeth

It is VERY clear that Leo is desperate for an Oscar; it's how he picks his roles.

But I think he is very overrated. I never buy him as an adult man.

What other drugs is Jack Dawson into apart from coke?

^^ I agree. It's why he aligned himself with Scorsese early on.

R112 I wonder if, as well as Leo uglying himself to appear 'serious', that there was maybe a part of him that uglied himself because of the casting couch action he endured when he was pretty and on the come up.

During the Oscar campaign, Leo gave a bunch of interviews proudly insisting HE had never taken drugs (subtext: unlike notorious pothead and mushroom aficionado McBongo). McBongo was 3rd billed in Wolf and featured prominently in the trailer, but after the noms came out, McBongo's name mysteriously disappeared from all the posters plastered all over LA.

Di Caprio has lost "his" Oscars to: Forest Whitaker, Jamie Foxx, Tommy Lee Jones and McConaughey. Whitaker, Foxx and McConaughey were playing real-life characters, always a plus. The only nom Di Caprio has had for a real-life character except for playing asshole Belfort, was in The Aviator in which he looked absolutely nothing like Howard Hughes (who is still well-known in Hollywood) and sounded nothing like him either. Di Caprio couldn't even keep up his fake Texas accent from one sentence to the other. His other big attempt at getting an Oscar with a biopic was the monumental flop J. Edgar in which he was embarrassingly bad.

Wolf was the first time Di Caprio deigned to meet and suck up to lowly Academy members, but it didn't work. When the Hollywood Reporter and EW polled actual Academy voters (I think about a dozen of them in all), Di Caprio didn't get a single vote. McConaughey was very far in the lead (he got all the votes of the members EW polled) and surprisingly Christian Bale was second. Despite campaigning like crazy and knowing many of the Academy members, Dern came in 4th. Ejiofor was 3rd and Di Caprio was nowhere.

[quote]During the Oscar campaign, Leo gave a bunch of interviews proudly insisting HE had never taken drugs (subtext: unlike notorious pothead and mushroom aficionado McBongo).

Yes, I remember those comments of Leo's. It was very nudge nudge, wink wink like "I'VE never done drugs, unlike you-know-who."

And I don't believe for a minute that Leo's never done drugs.

Lol. I guess visits to Miami don't count.

Bale must have thought, after seeing the tally in HR and EW that he had a shot at a real Oscar. Supporting doesn't count. When McBongo won, Leo grabbed him and kissed him which really surprised McBongo after Leo's campaign to trash him, but Bale made a sour face and wouldn't applaud.

Bale was later asked why he did that. Didn't he like McBongo, was he that disappointed? He and McBongo had been friends since they made that dragon movie together. Bale admitted he thought he was going to win and 'yeah, he's a nice guy'.

But the big issue was Chris Nolan had given the lead in Interstellar to McBongo, not to Bale. He was furious about that.

[quote]Lol. I guess visits to Miami don't count.

The only thing I smoked in Miami was Bradley's pole.

Bradley and Leo are both tiny meat bottoms. They might have cruised together but I doubt they fucked. Bradley likes his men to be majorly hung.

bump

I'm kinda embarrassed for him now. This is clearly a "Give it to Susan already" moment for him. Do you think he's a nice guy off camera? Anybody have any dealings with him professionally or personally?

And not the made up kind.

Leo is only 41 OMG he looks like he is in his 50's. Even in better pictures.

I'm back, lieblings!

We're sure that's not the snowman from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?

I think you mean Yukon Cornelius?

No child wants to play with a Charlie-in-the-Box!

This guy went straight from twink to bear without even going through the hunk stage: how is that even possible?

Men are all slobs, we know whom to blame but can't say
