When Celebrities Couldn't Handle Leonardo DiCaprio’s Aura

It takes years of training to become a great actor, but for some people, that simply comes naturally. These are the moments that show Leonardo DiCaprio's aura at its best. Where do you channel the intensity that your character brings? It's already there, girl. It's safe to say Leonardo DiCaprio built a strong connection with his co-star, Tayanna Taylor, and as it turns out, she was the person he was speaking to during that iconic moment at the Golden Globe Awards. When you're a movie star, the people you worked with at the very start are the ones you don't forget. Titanic was one of Leonardo DiCaprio's first major roles, and that's a big part of why his bond with Kate Winslet has always felt so strong. Titanic went on to become one of the biggest classics in movie history, and 17 years later, Leonardo DiCaprio recreated that special moment with Jonah Hill. The truth is, Leo wasn't even supposed to be in the movie, okay? Here's what happened. I call up Marty Scorsese. I say, Marty, it's J.H. I'm ready to get in the ring together. He says, finally. Then I say, should we get DiCaprio on board? And Marty says, I don't know if he can handle it. Sure, he's a movie star. He puts teenage girls in the seats, but we need a real actor like you, okay? That's it. Hey, buddy. God, no. What the hell are you doing, man? Oh, nothing much. I was pretty much just talking you up big time, just saying what a baller you were at acting. I was like, you know, this guy Leo taught me everything I know, and I'd be nothing without him, and he's like such a model, both plus the aviator. Jonah, Jonah, Jonah, just forget about all that, okay? Why don't you just be honest about what you're doing right now? I was like being a big shot. Hey, Lee? Yeah, J? Remember when we were on set, and I would get really nervous? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember. Can we do the thing we always did every day, the thing that made me feel safe? Yeah, sure, we could do it. All right. Thanks, man. Yeah? Hurry up, bro. I'm right behind you. Listen. I'm right here. You gotta move along. I have a lot. No, no, no, no, excuse me. I have a lot to talk about, and I have a lot to say. I have a voice, too. And these people didn't come here to watch you talk about the movie. They want to hear my opinions on the world. On the world, finance, politics. Excuse me. So, Darfur, no, I'm just kidding. There's only a small number of people who can get away with interrupting a talk show like this, and Leonardo DiCaprio is definitely one of them. Some of these stars, they think they own the place. They think they can just interrupt a television show. What are you doing? Yeah, I'm real sorry, Jimmy. I'm just... Just cutting through? No, no, no, no, no, I... No. Oh, you're not cutting? I actually came here to invite your whole audience to our premiere. It seems like a few of them do want to go, so we'll work that out. Anyway, you just go right through there. Yeah, cut through here. We've seen many interesting Kiss Cam pair-ups before, yet nothing could have possibly prepared us for Leonardo DiCaprio and Maggie Smith. It's Maggie Smith and Leonardo DiCaprio. DiCaprio is here. Hi, Leo. How are you doing? I don't have a joke. I just thought the ladies wanted to look at him for a second, so... Look at you. Did you know Leonardo DiCaprio actually has German roots? He spent a good part of his childhood visiting his maternal grandparents in Germany, which is why, when prompted by interviewers, he can somewhat switch into German mid-convo. Please say something in German. Come on, yeah, come on. Alles klar. Dankeschön. Next question, please. Everything all right? Thank you. I am better now. Yes, here's a question in the middle, please. Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere, and by the end, his date was too old for him. Even Prince Andrew's like, come on, Leo, mate, you know, you're nearly 50, son. If you are going to hit on DiCaprio, you've got to be creative, and it's safe to say this journalist delivered. Journalists always ask you when are you going to get married, and it's so annoying. So I came here to save you today. Let's not hide it anymore. I love it. We've all seen Leonardo DiCaprio accepting awards on stage, but not many have seen this rare backstage moment, patiently waiting for his Oscar to be engraved at the Academy Awards. If you've seen Django Unchained, you probably remember the scene where Leonardo DiCaprio cuts his hand. And if it felt a little too real, that's because it was. He actually started bleeding during the take and decided to keep rolling. You would have the same three dimples in the same place as old Ben. Don't lay your palms flat on that tabletop. If you lift those palms off that turtle shell tabletop, Mr. Pooch is going to let loose with both barrels of that sawed off. There's been a lot of lies set around this dinner table here tonight, but that you can't believe. Would you be so kind as to collect the pistol hanging off these boy's hips here? In this video, Leo tells us what that moment actually felt like on set. Watching their reactions. Honestly, because boom, it happened. And then I opened my hand and then blood starts pouring everywhere. And I saw Jamie go like this. And Quentin like had his hand and then he goes. And something that, you know, I've been so frustrated. I knew this was going to happen. So I heard about this last night. I'm getting a bit over it. Jonah's got a fart machine. You should see the way we all looked at him. What is going on? I was like, do I finish the question? I acknowledge that he just farted. I met Adam McKay. Thanks for joining us for EW Around the Table. Don't Look Up premieres December 10th in theaters and Christmas Eve on Netflix. Thank you very much. Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice. Leonardo DiCaprio was once invited to Japan for what might be one of the most random interviews ever. But there's one thing that made this interview unforgettable. Leo unleashing his Jack Nicholson impression for the very first time. Uh, I, well, I'll, I do these Jack Nicholson. Can you imagine your reaction to Lady Gaga is trending? Welcome to Movie Phones Unscripted. I'm Leonardo DiCaprio.
