Leonardo DiCaprio Is Indeed A GQ Man!


Leonardo DiCaprio looks handsomely dapper as the cover boy of GQ magazine's October 2011 edition.

On if he has any interest in directing... “Yeah, I do. And if I did direct, I would try to have the same no-bulls— approach to it as [Clint Eastwood] and his crew have. Seriously, there are no frills on his set. It’s a small, tight-knit crew.”

His idea of what the film industry is all about..."Throughout my career, I never knew which movies of mine made money and which didn't. When Titanic came out, people would say, 'Do you realize what a success this is?' And I'd say, 'Yeah, yeah, it's a hit.' The [money] stuff never mattered to me until I was into my thirties and got interested in producing, and people would show me charts explaining what finances a movie, what you'll make from foreign, what you'll make from domestic, what you need to make an R-rated film that's a comedy versus a drama. But even now I say that unless you want to prove that you can carry a film with your name, continuously trying to achieve box-office success is a dead end."

On which movie he’s proud of... “The Aviator. I’d wanted to play Howard Hughes for 10 years and was around for multiple rewrites. Michael Mann was on it at one point. And finally [Martin] Scorsese got involved. I was very proud of that movie. It was the first film where I felt inherently like a partner.”

On his forway into acting...""My introduction to acting in films was with De Niro in This Boy's Life. When I got the part I was 15, and somebody said, 'Do you realize who you're gonna work with?' I said, 'Yeah, I guess.' And they said, 'No, no, no. Go watch all of his films, and then go see these people's films.' So I obsessively watched films on VHS, and I remember feeling so overwhelmed by what had been done in cinema already. Watching a young Brando or James Dean or Montgomery Clift, I was like, Oh, my God, how can anyone ever hope to achieve that type of greatness?"

On a movie he originally passed on, then changed his mind... “My father has always been a huge force with me. I had passed on a script about the French poet Arthur Rimbaud [Total Eclipse]. He explained to me that Rimbaud was the James Dean of his time … I did the movie, and I loved playing him. If I just waited for moments of ‘I have to do this,’ I would do a movie only every four or five years.”

Funny Man Zach Galifianakis Makes Perfect Sense.



"Technology is also overrated. It’s making our society less private. Like, I would advise people that while it’s okay to tweet about your paper-towel purchase, I really don’t want to know about what shape your stool is in.

- Splish splash, he was taking a bath. Actor Zach Galifianakis Covers the pages of GQ Magazine's May edition.

We've been saying this all along kiddas. Sure our business is in advertising/marketing in web media but that doesn't equate to a selective group of society that have become sadly enthralled with the Internet and it's bad usages.

Like everything in life, there should be moderation. Take for example online social networking. My friends and I aren't concern with "checking in" at places. For what? For the sake of? What I also don't understand is if you're having such a fun time in a moment of festivities, how in God's name do you have time to alert people about it. And please don't get me started on folks who have, "so much to do and are super-duper busy" but yet they find the time to go online and make people aware of it? Riiight.

We're sticking with our momma Chelsea Handler, music icon Thom Yorke and Zach Galifianakis on this one kiddas. All of whom have addressed this same topic. Sure it's fun to upload pictures and share adorable quotes with one another, especially if the person lives distances away.

Than there are folks who abuse it and use it to promote and spread hate and negativity. Something we are not okay with. Kids are loosing social manners. I am very well aware that Americans don't like to be told what to do unless in time of need. But some folks should try this. Use your phone a little less. Have more real friends as opposed to friends who are on the internet. I think everything is just better when you’re not so wrapped up with electronic devices.

Someone told me once, "I feel like I hang out with my friends and they’re so busy taking pictures of what they’re doing and putting them on Facebook that they’re not really enjoying what they’re doing. You’re going to look back and have a million pictures, but you’re not going to be in any of them. Because you’re not having fun, you’re too busy clicking away."

So you know what I said kiddas. Just enjoy the moment you’re in, and stop telling people about it. Just enjoy it.

Also, I recently watched the film, "It s Kind Of A Funny Story" starring Mister Zach Galifianakis himself. The movie is captivating and has multiple encounters with real life situations. All the while, the director takes you on a rollercoaster of fun visuals while attempting to use these illustrations to make sense of it all.

Synopsis: "A clinically depressed teenager gets a new start after he checks himself into an adult psychiatric ward. Based on the young-adult novel by Ned Vizzini."

Directors: Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck
