Wow, this is such a great interview.
1. They interviewer was amazing.
2. It wasn't fucking 8 minutes.
3. The audience weren't annoying
4. Leo is great to listen too
This guy is so down to earth and so awesome!
The interviewer was alright. Could have had better questions but I do appreciate her not interrupting. Leo is Amazing. Seems like such a cool guy, doesn’t seem to have an ego. I love him.
@@Gunngirl every man has an ego. he's being professional. which questions would you have liked to hear?
@@Gunngirl nah she was great these were questions well done to get good answers
Agreed
Finally, finally!! A smart, intelligent, well-prepared interviewer. And she doesn't interrupt!
+pam0626 But sometimes laughs at inappropriate times.
+pam0626 She wasn't very observing though as she asks questions that Leo already answered in previous questions.
+verbatim102 That laugh seems like a 'nervous laugh'. I noticed it too.
+ja jane I am sure she was nervous and intimidated by him, she even said that at the beginning of the interview. Imagine interviewing Leo Dicaprio. I would be HYPERVENTILATING!!
+pam0626 Fab! job, this is how It show be done.
People don't realize how rare it is to find a serious interview with an actor this famous. Usually it's them fielding a bunch of bullshit questions about their love life, etc. This is so refreshing.
I love Q’s about the art
Jeffrey Gillespie: I couldn't agree with you more! Such an enjoyable interview with this amazing actor and intelligent human being. A stark contrast with an Australian interview during which a few 'air head' questions were asked such as, "When are you going to settle down?" Leonardo simply said he didn't really answer those types of questions. But that went right over the interviewer's head who went to comment: "You're not getting any younger.. You're 38!..." It was embarrassing to watch such a tacky, unprofessional interview. It's not honoring to this actor's huge talent and depth of character. This one is so much better!
I love him
Yeah like the one on 60 minutes Australia
@@justme33126 are your referring to the 60 minutes australia clip? If so yeah i get what you mean. I mean on one hand because so many are interested in his personal life i het why she would ask that but on the other hand... it's a pretty dumb question. Like what do you say to that? Yeah I'll get married in 2 years? Like what?
Imagine how happy you were to find an HOUR interview with Leonardo DiCaprio.
All I've ever wanted. lol
+Supernatural Pineapple This was really good, I've never watched any interviews with him, love his movies, but I am very impressed with his brilliance on and off the movie set!
+Supernatural Pineapple Lol YESSSS
And he speaks a beautiful and clear english for non native english speakers
Kathleen Saint-Amand I would be over the bloody moon
this interviewer is great at doing what she does perfect timing always focus no pressure. just great
Right? She was excellent! A very smooth interview unlike so many others.
I was just thinking this. She was so focused and noticeably affable, as well as well spoken and energetic as an interviewer with great questions and held her own interviewing a legend. Kudos to her.
Agreed. It's got a really nice pace. No awkward pauses, but no interruptions either. He's a great conversationalist too, which obviously helps.
When you have 1hr lengthy interview you can be really good at it
Ben Stiller great interviewer. Great interview
I’m so glad Leo never went down the Marvel/ Superhero movie route like so many other big actors these days. He always takes on such interesting roles.
He is way too good for those kinds of movies. Working with Scorsese, Nolan, Tarantino, literally swept superhero movies under the rug
Superhero movies have changed from X-Men, Batman. I thought Tobey McGuire, his best friend, was and is the best in my opinion, Spiderman, and one of my all time favorites, Seabiscuit.
and he gave this exact same advice to Timothe Chalamet
This interviewer should win an Oscar.
I appreciate how intelligent he is when he speaks. Very articulate. Smart. That's what makes him so amazing.
Damn, I think this woman could get DeNiro to open up. Great interviewing skills.
Movie buffs know what a hard task that is.
Never gonna happen. De Niro is like Fort Knox
even Joaquin phoenix he never opens up
That is unbelievably difficult
People don't realize how rare it is to find a serious interview with an actor this famous. Usually it's them fielding a bunch of bullshit questions about their love life, etc. This is so refreshing.
This is the most open I've ever seen him.
well shit, I can tell hours of my life will be spent on this channel.
+Bret Konsdorf ....so many hours
A lot of hours
He is one of those rare actors, who was just destined to be an actor. It´s clear how much he loves acting. Loved hearing about his stories about the industry. Leo is definitely one of the best actors of our generation.
He is the best not one of
I don't know how I came across this, I normally wouldn't watch something like this but I was fascinated. Great interviewer and new respect for Leo. It is good to see someone who litterally had everything and every opportunity actually take advantage of it instead of destroying themselves.
He just holds himself with such grace.
He is one of those actors that I would be so intimidated by meeting. When I hear the words "Hollywood movie star" I think of Leo.
He is just something very special
Yes agree.Leo is My Favourite actor Ever. I’m a fan of his work.He’s Funny, and Handsome . Also he does Important Work for Indigenous People .❤
He curses in the most graceful way too 😭
"Except for Biology, I was pretty good at that" Now he is a massive activist for environmental awareness.
He's been one since the late 90s
I love biology too. I wanted to be a marine biologist growing up . I ❤️it
@Captain Fantastic the ocean was angry that day my friend
See Teal Swan and Leo
Doesn't he have his own island somewhere like Bali or somewhere like that ? Or maybe he's just making sure it's a healthy place to be . Seems like I seen or read that somewhere . It's good to see an actor that isn't strung out on during and he is taking his career very seriously . You don't see that much with young actors these days . Especially if they start out becoming an actor when their were just a child . He obviously had some great level headed parents . They must of been a great influence for him . Don't get me wrong....sometimes it's not the parents fault bc an actor is hooked on drugs or has a problem with alcohol . I'm just saying he seems to have a level head on shoulders.
The interviewer is excellent
Am I the only one that feels like hugging Leonardo while watching this? he is so adorable.
Aw haha thats so cute ☺️
I think we all want to hug Leo!!
Me too he's amazing Leo's my favourite
Not only while watching this, I want to hug him all the time
Now that I think of it, yes, I wanna hug him so badddd
My god I could listen to him talk for days. I was always a fan of Leo but after watching a bunch of interviews of him I've gained even more respect and admiration for him. The way he talks about the art of acting, and how much he respects and honours the craft truly shows how much he cares about his performances and how passionate he is. You don't really see that in Hollywood.
+billionairespelunker He really makes me think of another tremendous actor (with who Leo DiCaprio played): Daniel Day-Lewis.
He has been working on environmental causes for a long time, too. Truly one of the most gifted film actors of our time. Remarkably few film "duds," which many of his contemporaries and even those older than him have on their resume. DeNiro and Streep are in that category--they do projects which are not equal to their talent. Day-Lewis is truly at the top of film performance. I sure hope he finds a decent film project to work on in the future.
I love you
I agree. Me too, after watching,a lot of interviews even the 1s that are promo for movies I became a bigger fan.
Agreed
“Pain is temporary, movie is forever” and you’ll be forever remembered as one of the best actor the world has ever known.
You guys make a big deal about him having not won an Oscar yet, but I'd say who cares. Do you guys realize that Leo can literally be in any film that he wants? He's a multi millionaire, he's been nominated multiple times, and he's regarded as one of the worlds greatest actors to have ever lived. He wins at life
Detective Hawk True, but I think there's also this disdain for the rigged nature of the Oscars
Lint very true
and he is very passionate about bringing attention to the environment problems. it's probably a lot more important for him to be in a position where he can use his voice and finances to help better our environment than getting some silly trophy
Detective Hawk Preach
Detective Hawk
I agree that he has no right to complain given what he has, but that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve an Oscar. People should get what they deserve, even if it's unfair. And he deserves it like few others.
Anyone noticed that he ALWAYS wears a suit to interviews? He seems business like about his career; suits; measured answers, respectful and he specifically chooses the best directors to work with. People bash him for his personal life, but at this level he can do what he wants. It doesn't seem to interfere with his work which means (again) its all business.
I have to admit he interviewer was terrific in this, allowing the guest to talk freely etc, very skilled! So many get it wrong sadly.
Dreama40 what do you mean ?
We need more interviewers like her!! She's outstanding!
Marvellous Jobs by both of them.
Gosh--Leo DiCaprio goes without saying. He's one of the best actors of our generation, and sounds like an awesome human being to match--well spoken, intelligent, empathetic, curious, honest. But, this interviewer! Jenelle Riley is effortless! Is anyone else noticing? I mean, this stuff isn't easy, lol. She's really skilled. Great job!
Manne Bertrand-Boise Agree with everything you wrote :)
Probably the first time I saw dicaprio open up like this in an recent interview, like engaging and reflective but chill, normally he is very guarded and monosilabic.
I wasn't planning to watch the whole thing, but here I am at the end. That hour passed way too fast.
So much better to watch these kind of interviews where actors are actually relaxed because they are speaking about what they are passionate about. You really see their true personalities shine through. Leonardo seems like a really chill guy. Much more humble then I expected.
A rare opportunity to see what Leo is like. He was lovable, spontaneous and charming in his youth, and then he got so private and all we saw of him was during promotions for movies and that can be quite rehearsed and repetitious. Now we know he is still that charming, lovable person we fell in love with, but has grown and added new dimensions to his persona. A great actor, well respected, intelligent, committed and conducts himself so well. Jenelle is also a very good interviewer.
11:26 Jenelle really is masterful. She saw Leo was going to take a sip of water and added on to her question's lead-up/context when she noticed he was still about to drink when she initially finished her question.
christian bale, leo dicaprio, daniel day, denzel these are the kinds of actors that make serious impact
Johnny Ghorbani Tom hanks too
@@bex82uk indeed let's add phoenix, phillip seymour as well
I have to admit that Denzel Washington is another favorite of mine.
Clint Eastwood, De Niro, Al Pacino, Di Caprio in the Olympus of the best actors of all times.
And CHADWICK BOSEMAN
'Not that titanic wasn't something I wanted to do'. Nice save Leo.
He's very well spoken. I can remember thinking way back, when he went from tv juvenile series to an actual movie screen role, thinking, 'oh, he's just a pretty bhoy'. Oh, how wrong I was! I have grown to appreciate the way he protects his private life and that he is never (hardly ever, anyway) a subject of gossip in the tabloids. Everything he has done has been of very high quality. And it's that decision to make quality not quantity movies that has garnered my respect. I am acutely aware of how much he has invested of his personal life and finances to the care and protection of caring for the Earth and environmental and moral issues. I have mad respect for this human being. He cares, and that is refreshing coming from LA (Hollywood). Thank you, #leonardodicaprio
Although, he does do about a movie per year. That's pretty regular. But yes, always quality work. He really positioned himself well when he was young.
jesus isnt he a great man?
@@irinabentancourt5694 A former co-worker told me she saw him walk on water once. But yeah I gotta agree with jane a sinner, he sure isn't too much of pretty boy anymore since all of the coke has swelled out his head like that.
Well... He disposes blond models as tissues while doing great movies. He do is a great actor, but not a Saint, chill.
@@SFAG12 howd u know that
I'm nearly 38 and he still gives me butterflies. When I'm 90 I'll still feel the same way I felt about him when I was 15.
Thalia you are very loyal....i love him too
Same
Same here 😍💖
He is very sexy.
lo. i'm 41. his pics were on my wall as a teenager then i lost interest and gave them all to my friend.
This guy is so down to earth and so awesome!
What a lovely compliment to Australia & her actors.
Thanks Leonardo.
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🎬🎞🎥🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
What's Eating Gilbert Grape is the first movie with Leo that I thought, gosh this guy is a serious talented actor. I hope people dont think he's just a pretty face. Then Titanic came and I was afraid he would be typecasted... I am so glad to see Leo continue playing a variety of roles, showcasing his convincing talent as an actor. And not only that but from his interviews you can tell he is incredibly smart.
absolutely.....i still love that extra talented boy... genius work
Linda’s Channel me too i really thought he was slow freaked to find no he's this good .
I’ve always thought that one major reason he’s been so successful is because he didn’t choose a bunch of roles that cast him as a teenage heart-throb. Very good decision to focus on challenging and interesting roles than to market off his looks!
I've been around kids like this, and his acting was so realistic and natural. It was a riveting performance. Actually, the whole movie is great.
Have lots of time with developmentally delayed folks. DiCaprio was unbelievably good in Gilbert Grape. That movie is a real gem in so many ways!
He is so articulate!!!! And still so utterly adorable!!!!!
Great interviewer !!!!!!!!
Great interview!!!!!
Great interviewee!!!!!!
Great gatsby
Great comment!
@@deadpool-wp1eq catch me if you
Its crazy, I hear him talk so much in movies but this is my first time hearing him talk like him self. Woah!
Ikr
This man made it into the industry without any support. He's too good!!
Amazing actor
An amazing actor.😥🙂🎶
This is the first time I have ever heard a male actor say he was influenced by an actress. That's incredible. It shouldn't be so rare but it is. Good on him for being so honest.
Two of the greatest actors in history just walking around central park together, in silence...
Out if the THOUSANDS OF INTERVIEWERS I watched I. My life, this lady is the best. Made me think she deserves an Oscar. right questions and she let Leo speak, until he told stories never before heard on other interviews.
This woman is one of the best interviewers.
The fact that he’s known at a young age, and has had such profound roles… and still has stuck to that. He’s done the WORK. In past lives and future. So amazing. Appreciate the messages and portrayal through his characters.
Wow, Leo is such a class act! Thoroughly enjoyed this interview!
I just realized he worked with every freaking legendary director alive today!
SPIELBERG
SCORSESE
CHRISTOPHER NOLAN
TARANTINO
JAMES CAMERON!!
man.
oh wow that's soooo awesome and interesting. Soooo HANDSOME.OMG! TO DIE 4
He is so genuine, humble, and appreciated. His words are so well conveyed and this interview was AMAZING wow! A respectful, calm interviewer!
It’s hard for me to believe how I just spent one hour listening to an interview.
The secret to Leo's success is he started at such a young age and kept at it, lot of luck mixed there as well.
Yes...but top of that he is hard worker,confident person......
Leo deserves allot more Oscars for the kind of work he did and how superb his acting was.
One of my top favorite actors of all time🙏🏻
He's a very good communicator in every interview he does, also very intelligent. LOVE him.
I was never always a Leo fan but I've come to love his movies and his respect for the art and making good movies. It all seems well planned and sculptured, from the way he dresses, speaks (his oscar speech is one of the best) and he allies himself with the best directors. No mindless sequels, no comic book adaptations with bad directors and no comedies just because he thinks he's funny. A well sculpted career.
fucking hell yes this is exactly what i feel and what i wanted to say so long time thanks.
great
I truly don't think there's another actor who even comes close in terms of choice of projects. There's not a dud in his entire resume, even Titanic is a gorgeous film to watch and of course got him into the bigger and better projects he deserved and thrived in.
He's intelligent and drop dead gorgeous. Doesn't get any better than this. A great conversation!
Came here for Leo, stayed for the interviewer 👏🏽
Wath film of Leo you like the most
same
Leonardo DiCaprio should of got an Oscar for titanic he was amazin
What a gentleman. 1000 thanks to the brilliant interviewer for giving him space to shine, and to DiCaprio for giving the audience such a precious insight !!
Janelle is a beautiful interviewer and she makes all her guests look good because she listens to them w so much patience and takes genuine interest in their work and journey.
Leo is my favourite actor ever. I've followed him since I was a child and I've always been so damn fascinated by his performances. I've always considered him like one of the finest actors of cinematic history, and recently I've became more and more near to him because I tried to understand and know him more as a person, and I found out he's a great, loving, very serious-yet-funny guy. So humble, down to earth, amazingly caring and committed to his projects. Leo is really a fine human being, and i loved watching this interview. The interviewer is also absolutely great. She asks really interesting questions, and she actually listens to the answers (and that's rare). She is very focused on what she's doing and she's not putting any pressure on Leo when he's talking. Amazing. She clearly loves what she does.
I just love listening to him telling his stories. The interview could go on for hours and I wouldn't be bored ♡
What a humble person and words he uses to describe are amazing!
Okay i'm sold, he is the man.
He has an amazing innocence and rawness to his personality that really comes across in his performance's , kinda boyish energy, and he's also very likable and relatable
Came to be impressed by him. Leaving impressed by HER.
Both of done g8 work
Intelligent, well-researched interviewers who don't just ask great questions, but does not interrupt yet has enough feedback that makes a great interview. Great interview!!
Just when I thought this kiddo - Mr. DiCaprio - couldn't be more impressive. Love love love the authenticity of both the interviewer and her guest. As enlightening as it was enjoyable.
41:35 Daniel Day-Lewis
DDL is my favorite actor of all time, he's a genius. I am glad they met in such a surreal way because that's how I imagined he would be. He's acting is magnifiscent and he's a gentleman. Pure talent.
Great interview. I always thought he was quite arrogant. But I now see him in a different light. Blown away how down to earth he is.
Great interview. I feel like Leo is actually enjoying the interview which seems more like a conversation which is really cool 🙏🏼
So this is how Leonardo DiCaprio talks in reality lol ... (cuz oftentimes we could only see him in a film) Really love the way he talks and how he describes a past thing by reconstructing it, which is so funny lol ❤ ... He's such a smart and decent person. Great interview. Love it! ❤ Thank you Jenelle Riley :)
I could not love Leonardo more than I do. He’s so humble and soft. He’s always so down to earth in his interviews even though he’s one of the biggest names in the industry. I love him as much today as I did when I discovered his work when I was 11 years old
What one hour of Leo, it's 5:50 AM but i will watch anyway
Leo is such a talented, genuine and humble person. He is also a champion for the environment who puts his money where his mouth is. This sums up a hero for me.
This man is a genius for acting real people. I understand 100% how he feels about acting out real life events.
After Gilbert Grape, no doubt he recognized as a gifted character actor. The difference between character actors and the rest is HARD WORK.
Great Great Interview
Hamilton7776 Yes.
So humble, even while being the best actor, he was taking classes to improve his techniques and improve himself!
I recently came face-to-face with ryan gosling who was shooting a film in my building a few days ago and I was way more starstruck than I thought I would be lol (even though I'm completely against the weird idolization of celebrities) so kudos to the interviewer for being able to conduct a discussion with a mega-star like leo. it was wild seeing someone who I've watched on tv for years; you freeze and it's a really strange feeling all around. very cool to see them shooting a production though; really revived my interest in film-making as an art.
props to the interviewer she did great going through Leo's life
Leonardo Dicaprio is my favourite actor. Here’s why. He’s very mature, and a,ways has been. Not to a point where he’s not funny and entertaining, but he’s respectful, and shows it in all his interviews. Aside from his incredible looks, his acting skills are amazing. He really gets into every role he plays and even if the movie isn’t good (which it always is), his acting is truly amazing. He’s living his life to the fullest, doing what makes him happy, and I respect that. Thanks for reading lmao
Up until now I have never seen Leonardo in a proper interview, here you see a very powerful and genuine person. Leonardo thankyou for being so natural and sincere.
I could listen to Leonardo for hours you connected with your fans in this well grounded interview.
Jenelle your research and questions are well done, also you could even make Tom cruise look like a normal person
Ahhh. The beach is my favorite movie with Leo.
Love this man, for his dedication to our environment, his intelligence and for being Leo
Honestly I love this guy.. Not because he's Leonardo dicaprio the amazing actor who is always snubbed but I really see him as an idol I watched every movie he did I kinda study every move and every impression he does I spend hours and hours watching his interviews this guy is just outstanding
Thats true
I wase fell that i am the only one how fell that .....lol
Blood Diamond is one of his best ❤️
yes he was gorgeous young and in his 20's, but look at him now. Not only is he still extremely attractive, his well-rounded, interesting character hasn't changed a bit with all the fame. I honestly love him so much.
agree so attractive and hot
'well rounded' in physicality too. looks like david walliams sadly.

Fantastic interview; excellent, excellent interviewer! 10/10
This guy is a perfect role model
He was really in his element here. Very sincere. He is such a sweet person.
So humble... Something we don't get that often when it comes to entertainers....
I can listen to this man speaking about cinema for a whole day long. Charm, sense of humor, intellect combined together ❤️
i really want to see a convo between him and pedro pascal. They both love cinema.
I love this guy, he's so humble and talented. It is rare to see it.
(Sorry for my English, I'm French)
your English is fine.
It's better then my French I'll tell you and I learn it at school
Loomsmudgecatgirl than**
I didn't know much about Leonardo di Caprio but I have seen many of his films which turned me into a fan. He's very talented. His talent hooked me.
She is one of the best interviewers. Excellent.
Thank you for a refreshing and profound insight of Leonardo DiCaprio's career, then and now. Such a versatile, down to earth and humble actor. He exudes humor, warmth as much charm and candor.
Hollywood's very best, Leo is simply an iconic and legendary actor of our times.
If I’m being honest, Leo is definitely one of the Gods of the Acting world however can we just point out how unexpectedly awesome the interviewer was? She didn’t interrupt and asked great questions- wonderful, entertaining interview right here 🙂
The real deal - great interview, great actor, subtle interviewer.
What shines through is his love of acting and movies - brilliant.
My favourite interviewer interviewing one of my favourite actors. Gold :)
So rightly said.... inception is visually so empowering that people almost forget that there is an emotional element of a father trying to go back to his children.
Imagine how happy you were to find 1H interview with leonardo Dicaprio thats so cool .😍😍
Leonardo is an unbelievable actor and producer. He does not get enough credit for his role as a 'director' in his own movies. I love his diversity of characters which is evidence of his extraordinary talent.
That he hasn't received an Oscar as of yet is mind-blowing.
:)
Guess what ....
he has now
