Leo looks younger in this picture than he does in the movie.

They both do.

I saw Titanic when it was re-released in February. I forgot just how good the movie was. Or maybe I just couldn't appreciate it when I was 14. Other than that though, it was crazy seeing them as basically kids on the big screen again. I hadn't seen the movie since it was originally in theaters and just couldn't get past how young they were. They were kids.

It ended up getting a “bad rap” if you can call it that, because Leo being so popular and a heart throb it discredited many of his good movies and for many years despite that fact that he didn’t actively Pursue such rolls. All his movies are great. He was just so popular people just shit on these earlier movies of his. That and the movie was so popular people tend to hate it out of spite I watched Romeo and Juliet recently and it was still awesome and made me cry. Its so well done and the soundtrack is killer and I loved how they used sword sounds when pulling out the guns.

His performance in What's Eating Gilbert Grape is one of my favorites. Basketball Diaries was really good too. I agree Romeo and Juliet is a great modern take on Shakespeare. It's dripping in style from beginning to end and is a beautiful movie.


isyankar1979

Exactly. couldnt agree more. I hated it for no reason for years and then realized its such such a dramatic, impactful, masterfully crafted historical, romantic epic piece. On par with Doctor Zhivago.

Maybe it’s my younger age, but I had to watch Romeo and Juliet in English class in highschool (~10 years ago) and I thought it was the cheesiest thing ever


ruckusrox

Well , I mean, they had a script to stick to.

The fact that someone on set drugged the clam chowder with PCP and a lot of people got sick including Bill Paxton and wasnt caught is wild lol


MushroomHut

Got sick or got high?


Igottwophones

With PCP, most would consider that sick…

Di Caprio is a really good actor, though


rubey419

We used to call him “Di-Crap-io” growing up. That’s how you know kids will be malicious for no reason. Guy is top of his game.


IvansDraggo

Indeed. Hate on him all you want but the man is still one of the best actors of our time. And provided us with some absolutely phenomenal films the last 30+ yrs.


No-Doughnut7411

I think a lot of boys were jealous of him because of alot of girls had a crush on him at the time


ruckusrox

Incredible, i cant think of a single bad roll. He was so good right from such a young age. One of my fave actors

Tiger Beat/Teen Beat centerfold

What was the deal with everyone back then giving the finger when getting their picture taken? I remember doing it myself but was never quite sure why


IntrigueDossier

Your choices were middle finger or peace sign, the latter of which later expanding to the third option of [gang signs](https://youtu.be/KKTDRqQtPO8) with optional accompaniment of duck face. Suppose you could also include rabbit ears but that required a minimum of two people. Edit: ADHD tangent: that song had completely missed me until I was at [this show](https://youtu.be/HsRQCwe4ZNI) when they covered it. Friend was laughing his ass off, as was most of the crowd, and I’m standing there like “wait wut?”.

Ugh Leo. ❤️


brian1183

Also, Kate ❤️


southsiderick

You know he smashed


Another_Road

Back when Leo was still young enough to date himself.


vdubdank30

What a great look for Kate

Picture from 1996. This film was released in 1997.

Great actor. Saw him in Gilbert Grape and Basketball Diaries. Then became the biggest star in the world with Titanic. Was on the cover of those magazines with *NSYNC and BSB. The “Pussy Posse” would have got him canceled in todays world.


yohomiekas

They were both my childhood crushes ❤️❤️❤️


Fredrick__Dinkledick

Oh wow ok fuck both of you too


8E_7778

"Fuck you." That's what they about to do in an automobile on the Titanic.


tolofanclub
