Leo graces the cover of Rolling Stone this month. Yay! As we all know,
Leo is one of the few Hollywood celebs who are highly private when it comes to their personal affairs. One time, I was just surprised when photos of him and Bar Rafaeli surfaced. I’m happy for them. Bar is a goddess! The list of roles played by Leo in the big screen has made me love him. I first saw him in Titanic and instantly admired him. His acting skills is brilliant. It’s beyond amazing. I was even more impressed when he became an environmentalist. I realized that this man is deep. On his latest movie role (Cobb in Inception), he once again impressed me by his acting chops.
This is an excerpt of the interview done by the magazine. Enjoy!
On what makes him anxious: “[My stomach churns over] really stupid stuff. Things that shouldn’t make you anxious whatsoever. It’s crazy how your mind will become this database to make you worry about things that are so arbitrary. I have a well-organized life, and I’ve put a lot of thought into the things that I do, and then, you know,
my stomach will be…I’ll just be sitting there, totally anxious about something ridiculous.”
On growing up: “I was essentially a dwarf with the biggest mouth in the world. I would talk back to anyone and be up for any fight, and when you tell a kid that’s three years older than you to shove it, you’re going to get your ass beat…I was a real punk, there’s no question about it.”
On partying in the pre-tabloid/blog age: “I got to be wild and nuts, and I didn’t suffer as much as people do now, where they have to play it so safe that they ruin their credibility. I didn’t care what anyone thought…. It was also about avoiding the tornado of chaos, of potential downfall. It was, ‘Wow, how lucky are we to not have hung out with that crowd or done those things?’ My two main competitors in the beginning, the blond-haired kids I went to audition with, one hung himself and the other died of a heroin overdose… . I was never into drugs at all. There aren’t stories of me in a pool of my own vomit in a hotel room on the Hollywood Strip.”
On dating: “I had better success meeting girls before Titanic. My interactions with them didn’t have all the stigma behind it, not to mention there wasn’t a perception of her talking to me for only one reason.”
On dealing with his Titanic fame: “It was like there was a separate entity out there. Not to use a James Cameron reference, but it was like being in a little bit of an avatar. (cringes) That’s going to sound extremely self-indulgent. It’s going to sound like, ‘Oh, I was a frickin’ avatar,’ give me a break, I’m already vomiting.”
