I was thinking of what kind of question I would ask Leo if I ended up interviewing him for any other reason than a specific movie. 

 

I would like to know what story he would pick and in what way he would make it work on screen if he only had 1 million dollars to work with. There is no going over budget with this movie. Not that I say he should do one because I enjoy the big-budget way too much but would his answer be: I can do that or that can't be done?

It would be interesting to know how well his documentaries are doing.

That's easy to answer. "Before the Flood" broke records on National Geographic. More here: https://www.indiewire.com/2016/11/before-the-flood-climate-change-documentary-record-60-million-views-1201747088/

 

I think "The 11th hour" wasn't that much successful. Here are some numbers: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0492931/?ref_=bo_se_r_2

 

I agree he's not doing those projects because of the money. But wasn't that exactly your point? Doing this kind of stuff for the passion/message/art?

I don't know if I had a point, to be honest.

 

Maybe he would choose to make a documentary and not a story if he only had 1 million dollars to make it happen. 

 

Is a budget of 1 m considered big when you do a documentary? Then it still is a "big-budget" thing he does. Or am I analyzing this way too much?😂

I am watching Late Night and they mention Leo. He must be the most mentioned person in series or movies that isn't in the production. Only talked about. 🙃 He is literally everywhere. ❤ To my delight.

Danny O'Conner talks more about Leo's visit  to Outsider House

 

Quote

anny O’Connor, a music artist and curator of the Outsiders House Museum, posted photos of himself with DiCaprio on social media along with this message: “Like I always say, you never know who’s going to stop by the Outsiders House Museum. Great seeing you, my friend, after all these years.”

 

Elaborating later, O’Connor said, “It has been over 20 years since we last spoke. Leo stopped by unannounced, so when I saw him walk in — despite him wearing a mask — I said something like ‘Is that you Leo?’ His bodyguard said ‘no!,’ but then he turned to see who was talking to him and then instantly recognized me. I credit that to Soleil Moon Frye’s ‘Kid 90’ documentary that he hand a hand in producing, I believe.”

 

Frye and O’Connor are longtime friends and she visited him at the Outsiders House Museum to shoot footage for the documentary.

I’ve seen several pictures with Leo having glasses hanging from his shirt collar. He is 46 years old. You think he has to use reading glasses now? The mental picture I have of him reading scripts with glasses on is freaking adorable.

As to Leo/ reading glasses, I remember way back in 1998 Leo was photographed at Lakers’ game sitting countryside with glasses on , and some fans thought he wore them only to try to disguise himself & others felt it was because he needed them 

 

And ever so often since then, I’ve seen pix of him wearing glasses 

 

So could be has always needed them,  or they were used as disguise, or what was once used as disguise is now needed due to age as unbelievable as it at time seems Leo will soon be only 3 years from 50 😜

I remember those 1998 glasses. 😁 I remember during one of the OUTIH interviews when he talked about how someone back them had told him to try wearing glasses as a disguise and he said he tried it, but it never worked for him. These days it seems the glasses are just hanging out on his shirt waiting for when he needs to use them.

What I was trying to figure out about the recent pix , is  what is in the bag he is holding ? 
 

At first I thought it was something he bought at museum , but then the name on lower right corner looks like Zoe Cassavetes  ??

It is an Outsiders souvenir of some sort. You can see a picture of Ralph Macchio lying in his hospital bed after the church roof collapses on him. 
 

Fun fact: I got to watch them film The Outsiders and Tex way back when.  I was around ten years old. I got Matt Dillion’s autograph which I still have.

He didn’t audition for The Outsiders movie as he would have only been seven years old at the time, but he did audition for The Outsiders television series in 1990. He got cast as “Kid fighting scout”
