Leo DiCaprio and Benicio Del Toro are obsessed with Oasis and Radiohead reuniting

One of the biggest stories in music, but especially Venom... Is that a don't ask any more questions? Hi, I'm Alex from NME and today we're joined by two of our greatest living actors. It's Benicio Del Toro and Leonardo DiCaprio. You've both had many scene partners over the years, but Del Toro-DiCaprio is brand new. What was one thing that you learned about each other from working on this film? I learned about Leo is... I've been friends, we've been friends for a long time. We've met in the hallways and many times. But I think it's his sense of humour. Aside from his talent and everything else that makes him who he is. But I think what I was surprised was his sense of humour... Through the whole process of doing this film, I was laughing from beginning to end. Acting or was he just telling those knock-knock jokes? Both, both. I think we all want to hear one of those, but I won't make you do one now. What about you, Leo? What did you learn about Benicio? We started out around the same time. I think we were on the cover of Vanity Fair together way back in the day. And I've been just a huge admirer of his career. His choices. And to me it was no surprise to see him come on to set. He was in the middle of doing another movie. We waited around for him for a few months because we knew we had to have Benicio in this character. But I just loved his choices. The choices that he made for the character. I mean, he came in... He defined who this character was. And he really changed the course of the entire narrative structure of the movie. It was no surprise to me that he would do that, though, to be honest. And I've got to ask, partly because we're The Enemy, but also it's just mind-blowing. But Johnny Greenwood's score. Wow. It's incredible. And I got to see dailies too with a lot of those songs already done. So Paul would show us some of these driving sequences. Some of the huge helicopter stuff with that score. And boy, that score really is like another character in this movie. It adds to the tension. The whole second half of the movie, you're on the edge of your seat. And that's in a large part to Johnny's score, which he did an incredible job. Well, there's the particular scene which is behind you right now with the cars going over the hills. Yeah, that sequence. I've never seen anything like that. But the music in that bit just makes it so tense. Yeah, it's almost so obvious. It's like a drum solo. It's just so good. It's almost like, wait, have I seen this before? No, it's very original and very good. I know because you've both been on projects that have involved Radiohead slash Johnny before. I know Leo from Romeo and Juliet, the Radiohead song, was written for that film. And Inherent Vice, Johnny did the score for that as well. Yes, he did. And I got a chance to meet him. Yeah? Great. What did you chat about? Are you big Radiohead fans? Yes, big time. How could you not be a Radiohead fan? What they've contributed to music, man, is incredible. They've just announced their first shows in seven years. Are you going to try and go? Yeah. People are going to be flying all over the world for those, huh? Whoa, who's this? They're just my friends. Now, is that a he or a she or a they? It's not that hard. They, them. Okay, I just want to be polite. So I'm glad we're onto music, because one of the biggest stories in music this year, but also particularly for us at NME, was the Oasis reunion. And doing some research, I saw last week, Leo, that you managed to go to one of the shows. Yeah. How was that? It was incredible. It was incredible to see them back together again. And Paul McCartney was actually there, and I think they sang a Beatles song, and I remember I was in the section next to him, and the whole stadium looked back at Paul and clapped for Paul, too, which was awesome. It was a great tip of the hat. So it was a special night. Have you ever come across them in the 90s, maybe, when you're coming out? I've never met them, no. But I like them, yes. I didn't get a chance to see them, but, yeah. What do you do when you go to, because I've got a list of names from the guest list for that show, because it was in Pasadena, I think, wasn't it? The Rose Bowl. It's like, Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish, Salma Hayek, just full of so many star names. What is it like when you go to one of those shows? Because I imagine quite a few of them are like that in L.A. They sort of just funnel you into one room, and you're like, the who's who of all the groups. You usually have your own separate section, and you don't really talk to anybody, to be honest. And you look over, and you go, oh, so-and-so's here. But no, it was a great tour. Everyone's so excited about it, really. Much like Radiohead, when that happens, too, I think everyone's going to do their best to be there for those moments. Yeah. Well, we always end on this question. I know you're both into music. If there was one album you'd always go back to, the only one you could keep, what would it be and why? Stevie Wonder, Inner Visions. Tell me about your relationship with Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder's just great. I say it over and over again. For me, he's one of the greatest living artists on Earth. I'm obsessed with his talent. I've always been a Stevie Wonder fan. Have you managed to meet him, see him live? I have met him. It was one of the most exciting moments I can remember in a long time. And he actually played a song that I requested. What was that? That was Heaven Is Ten Zillion Light Years Away, which he hadn't played for decades, and then he played it. It was an incredible moment. The concert you were at, was it for him? Amazing. How did you put that request in? I just asked the peeps. I was like, yo, this is one of my favourite songs, can you play it? And he did it. Now, that is a flex. Yeah. For me, it would be Tattoo You. It's like a family member, that album. The Rolling Stones? The Rolling Stones, yeah. I got it when I was like, I don't know, 13. I bought it and that's around the time that I left home and it was like some talisman or something. And it's just like I've been a fan of the Stones since I was a kid. I'm still a fan of the Stones, so it would have to be Tattoo You. I bought it, it came out from the box, I got it and I've been listening to the Stones ever since. Both great choices. Thanks so much for chatting to me today. Thank you. I need you, brother. Sensei, Sensei, Sensei, please! Courage, Bob. Courage. That's it. Courage. Yeah. Thank you. Hey! Thank you, Sensei! Thank you! God damn it! Viva la revolución!
