Baz Luhrmann: I Want Leonardo DiCaprio for ‘Hamlet’

leonardofanuk:

Baz Luhrmann and Leo DiCaprio already have teamed on two literary classics: Romeo + Juliet and now The Great Gatsby. So which text will the Aussie helmer likely tackle next with his go-to leading man?

“Hamlet,” Luhrmann told THR at the New York premiere of Gatsby on May 1. “To me, Gatsby is the American Hamlet. What else could we possibly do as a follow-up?” The first thing Luhrmann needs to do, though, is persuade DiCaprio to take on another Shakespeare work to complete their bookish trifecta: “It’s just a dream at this point,” he says.

I would watch the shit out of a Hamlet movie directed by Luhrmann and starring DiCaprio.

i think one day leonardo dicaprio should be the host that reads the nominees for best actor and when he opens the envelope to see who won it turns out his name is printed neatly in the center and he chokes up a little and his eyes water and his cohost takes the card and exclaims LEONARDO DICAPRIO!! and the audience cheers and leo cries and his supporting actors and actresses come up and hug him

i dont care if this goes against oscar tradition i just want leo to be happy

14 reasons people should stop hating leonardo dicaprio

sweetmoonbeam17:

1. He dances like this at parties

2. He can do this with his face

3. He quit smoking 3 years ago like a badass

4. He loves his family and mama a whole lot

5. He also fucking loves his dogs and animals in general

classy as fuck

6. He uses his fame wisely. He is extremely devoted in animal, wildlife and human welfare and charities, like the WWF, and encourages his fans to petition and donate with him. Leo helps save tigers and elephants and whales and more. He donated a fucking million dollars to Haiti. He had a giant birthday party, but all the guests had to donate money for wildlife efforts. When he won his ONLY Golden Globe for The Aviator, in his speech he urged the audience to contribute to the earthquake relief at that time. He is currently taking a break with acting to rest and to focus more on this stuff. He is a fucking green superhero

that is a candid photo bitch

7. He has been besties with Kate Winslet since Titanic, he even made a ring for her, and he spoils her kids. Kate’s ex husbands are all scared of Leo because Kate loves him so much and he could probably beat them up if they ever hurt her and they should get married but that’s a whole other damn story just look at them

ps kate says of all her sex scenes she does in films (like a lot) she liked working with him the best. damn girl just friends?

8. He has also been besties with Tobey Maguire since they were little kids and they are such dorks

9. This picture

wtf.

are you not in love yet

10. He grew up in a shitty ghetto area of LA surrounded by crime and drugs, so he vowed never to get involved with that stuff. Have you seen a mug shot of him? Noooo

11. Lol when his hair gets too long he wears a fucking headband

12. He’s ironing on a fucking roof

13. The fact that he always fucking walks like this

he just loves to walk okay

14. He is just a classy, suave motherfucker

15. Also as serious as he seems most of the time, he used to do photo-shoots like this:

GIVE THIS MAN A FUCKING OSCAR FOR EXISTING
