a titanik volt a kedvencem.vagyisa filmje
they thought he was actually disabled
same
lmaoo johnny depp showed up as jack sparrow got me dead
I imagine this interview was done in the middle of filming Pirates of the Caribbean... Not much choice how he looks if he's changed his appearance for a role
Whahah
He just lives life as Jack Sparrow now. lol,
He reminds me of Al Jorgenson here.
Iris Louise that man is hot anywhere lol
Leonardo DiCaprio's best performance before Titanic
+swapnil roy before Titanic and Romeo & Juliet I agree 100% with you
He did so well
+swapnil roy This one is better than Titanic for sure!!
+swapnil roy I agree this movie was beyond amazing! Johnny Depp was great too!
no wrong titanic WAS better
leonardo and johnny depps faces are pure perfection during this time
immamake youmybiishh excuse me...still ARE
Shut up
During? DURING?! Miss, are you okay?
still now☺
@@kujachicken6943 yes during stfu
It's a shame that Depp and DiCaprio haven't worked together again since.
sj11791 so i know you may think i’m crazy for saying this because i thought it was crazy when i heard about it from a teacher of mine 6 years ago. but supposedly she met johnny depp at a airport where she was by herself at 16, and she talked to him for a good minute and johnny supposedly told her about how he doesn’t like leo. i totally forgot about what she said to us but my friend that was in the same class told me she remembered but we thought she was crazy because supposedly her dad sold her to another family. i wish i was lying and i wish she was lying!!!
Elisia Marie probably cuz you are.
Tea Sister i really wish sis because it’s still crazy to hear that.
Tea Sister i heard what i heard and said what i said
Elisia Marie lies.
OMG leo in this movie, ugh. absolutely unreal acting, best role he's ever played just incredible!
maybe the best acting performance ever.
Between Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp I choose Leo.
He has made so many wonderful movies and it was ab time for him to get an Oscar. Leo is a great actor: very natural.
I feel like Johnny Depp HAS TO use props (make up, characterization, etc) in order to deliver.
Leo has himself and he can really transport/convince the viewer what's he's going thru in his character.
Love him badly bc I feel like he is in the right field. Also, I hope he doesn't stop acting until bc his acting is a gift.
Idk he did very very good in Titanic
Ny Jeep Adventurer You don't have to be ashamed of saying you thought Leo was autistic
Ny Jeep Adventurer you don’t have to hide the fact that you thought Leo was autistic, I don’t really know, but I think it’s actually a compliment to him and his acting
Probably the only normal character depp played that I can remember
nightmare on elm street too..
Chloe Kelly a pirate and a guy with scissor hands isn’t normal or not like something an everyday person is used to seeing bud
How about the original 21 Jump Street
His role in fear and loathing a close 2nd I think.
“Nick of time.”
Leo should have gotten an Oscar for this role!!
I agree. Every time I watch it I can't help but think how could he not have won? His words, actions, even the way he walked was consistent and very believable. That was one hell of a hard part to play.
+Cissy2cute this and 'the basketball diaries' each time I watch both these movies it pisses me off how long it took for him to finally get recognised for his amazing work!
Bethany Rose Guess he must have pissed somebody off early on in his career. Funny how so many actors win these awards and yet a lot of us are left with the feeling that something is wrong with these people who cast their votes for the candidates. Hope that makes sense--haven't had my coffee yet!
IKR!
Little did he know he wouldn't win one until 2016
Leo's performance was unbelievable I can't believe he was able to pull that off at such a young age... Pure talent he def deserved that Oscar
How I'll was he
shalom the boss 19
LEO is pure perfection. He doesn't need an oscar, They suck anyways. Everyone knows he's a legend and AMAZING.
before watching this film, I couldn't stand DiCaprio: I was a teenager, and I thought that Leo was famous just because he was handsome, and the other teenage girls loved him. (I thought he was what today you'd call "a Justin Bieber"). Then I watched this film, and I was struck: DiCaprio was AMAZING. Since then, he has become my favourite actor. He truly is the best actor of his generation
msinvincible2000 I was 6 when I fell for Leo lol
Watch the movie this boy's life its good
Not just in that generation in any generation
Along with Joaquin Phoenix I agree
Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for an Oscar for his role in this. Little did he know he wouldn't win one until 2016...
i know right
He won an Oscar for the revenant
perfect acting by leo i know cos i have an autistic brother
is leos character supposed to be autistic?
+Fjolltzu yes
Rabia Ahmad ok thx
+Rabia Ahmad but why did they think arnie wouldnt live past 10?
+Patrick Bateman Because, at the time period of the film, it wasn't common for mentally challenged people to live very long.
Leo's performance is one of the best, most convincing acts ever....
PlainIguana agreed
Leo was so amazing in this movie. It was absolutely legendary.
i first watched this film for johnny but i was surprised when leo stole the show for me :) this film is amazing
Leo doesn’t need an Oscar to prove he’s a good actor
I still have no idea how leo was so young but still pulled off the role with such perfection. I cannot picture anybody else as Arnie. Absolute massive genius. Some real deep acting chops by Leonardo. Nothing but mad MAD respect for this man. Thank God for Leonardo DiCaprio.
leo and johnny are so perfect
3:17 johnny depp is the sweetest talking about leo 💗💗
I wish I could go back to 1993. Life was so much simpler then. It truely was. This movie makes me nostalgic for my youth. Such a great movie that's really underappreciated and almost seems forgotten.
Leo was robbed of an Oscar for this movie. His performance in this movie was brilliant.
Both Johnny Depp and Leo should have gotten Oscars. They bOTH are great actors :-)
YES
Absolutely right mam
Darlene Cates astounds me every time I watch this movie. You get the impression that she'd been acting for 20 years, and never guess that this was her debut performance.There are so few films that call for actresses like her, especially for such a central role, and the ones that do tend to scale back the more extreme aspects of the characters, like Momma's obesity or Arnie's developmental delay. The Gilbert Grape filmmakers didn't care if some of their audience felt socially or emotionally uncomfortable watching it, and I admire that. They could've hired a well-known actress and put her in a fat suit, but there would have been this layer of fantasy that obstructed the audience's view due to their knowledge that Momma was really a slim, famous lady just pretending. It might have made it easier to focus on Momma's personality and character development, as opposed to getting hung up on her appearance. But they cast Darlene Cates instead, and her performance forces you to see her how Gilbert sees her, not as the mere visual spectacle that most people consider her to be. She was a great and underappreciated talent.
Leo's character was so spot-on, it's so hard to believe that it was pure acting
Both Johnny depp and Leonardo DiCaprio deserve more oscars. They are both insanely talented and extremely good at acting
I was really blown away by Leo's acting in this one. He blows me away with every character he plays, but this one takes the cake for me. Incredible.
Leonardo dicapro is so cute when young :)
This is no doubt one of my most favorite movies in the world! The acting in this movie was superb..... And I still don't think it got the recognition that it deserved
0:45 - Johnny was miserable during filming because he'd just split with Winona
His heart was broken. :(
@@Kiran-cy1xr Not true. This movie came out in 1993, which means they were done shooting, in 1992. Johnny and Winona went from 1989 to 1993. They were still together.
Winona forever
the scene that touched me the most, is when Arny discovered the death of his mother!!!!!!!!!! Leo was incredibly convincing!! that was freaky!
Ikr
leo and johnny deserve so many awards for this movie 🥺
Leo did the best performance in this movie!
when this movie came out we were just little kids so we used to laugh and joke at it, but now that im older I realize how good of a movie this is and how good it actually is.
This film had very talented cast
Leo was sooo amazing in this movie and I can’t believe he didn’t get an Oscar for it
Fun fact: Leo has actually turned down an offer from Disney channel at that time waiting to audition for this part. He was just 16 years old when he made a life changing decision that shaped the direction of his acting career.
DiCaprio should have win an oscar for this. This guy is a phenomenal actor!
THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MOVIE. Leo did absolutely amazing!!!! I'm blown away!!
RIP Darlene Cates.. Soar with the Angels sweet woman..
Leo is a great actor. It is the best acting before Titanic. And also love Johnny Dipp 😄😄😄😄😄❤❤❤❤❤
Leo was such a sport when he gave it a shot at Arnie Grape even though he was unsure if he would do the role well but low and behold, Leo totally nailed the character. He should’ve won an Oscar.
Before Jack Dawson and Romeo Montague, there was Arnie Grape
Before Captain Jack Sparrow, there was Gilbert and Sam (Benny and Joon 1993)
No matter how many films Johnny Depp has done I will always know him the best as Gilbert Grape..this is such a lovely movie with alot of heart and Johnny was the perfect person to play Gilbert
What's Eating Gilbert Grape is an incredibly touching film. Darlene Cates and the rest of the cast poured their hearts into their performances.
Juliette "Becky" seems to have such an awesome personality. In real life and in movie. Seems really laid back 😁
First time I saw this movie I wondered where they found a handicapped kid to play Arnie
Leo should have won that Oscar
We all know the real reason you guys are all here, please proceed to 2:20. 💖
Angela Harrison IKR 😂
i would love to see johnny and leo do another movies together! they've grown so much as actors since then
Leo and Johnny, man, what a duo.
All actors were brilliant. But I could cry, Di Caprio without oscar.
"he's behind the chips" -One of the best films EVER. xx
I think the whole crew came together perfectly for this movie. Everyone was great at what they do. I loved it all!
I can’t fathom that Leo didn’t get an Oscar for this phenomenal performance.
I watched this film last week and I loved it! I can relate to Gilbert at all levels I love this character so much
Leonardo was perfection in this movie and the mother was amazing for this being her very first movie you would never know it.
Leonardo should have won an Academy Award for his performance...he was amazing.
Johnny is a great perfect actor
he is brilliant .. such amazing performance
DiCaprio blew me away in this movie. He was so real!
Two legend work together.
Really true legend......
It was an incredibly superb acting by Leo. I was born in 1999 and I wasn't able to witness this amazing moment that I could have had, but I am really grateful because of him, he always fills my day whenever I watch his previous movies which are absolutely appealing to me. I am a huge fan, Leo. Love from the Philippines! 😘 I Love you wholeheartedly! 😘😘😘💜💜💜
Even though Leo was acting it still seems like he was more mature in growing pains and he was 15 when he was acting in growing pains BEST ACTOR IN THE WORLD!!!
Powerful, painful and beautiful ❤️.
Sad part is Leonardo and Johnny will never look the same
leo was so good in this movie I know because I have a brother with autism
Me too
Arnie is not an autistic character. He has learning disabilities and the mental age of a child. At the time of the film's production little was known about autism but the way the character's condition is portrayed, it is obviously not autism.
@@GeorgiaGeorgette i think he had s pretty accurate portrayal though
I love this movie. Johnny is a great actor.
One of my all time fav depp and Leo movies. Movies in general
Leo is so young there
He was 19
@@kaylarenee4551 He was 18.. it was made in late 92
I love Johnny's shirt in his interview!! Hell yeah. Love from my Native people!!!
it's really incredible how leo can pull that character off, even though he isn't mentaly retarded himself.
The correct term is mentally challenged or autistic or developmentally disabled, but yes Leo did do a wonderful job. Just like his "Romeo + Juliet" co-star, Claire Danes did a wonderful job playing a some what similar role in the movie "Temple Grandin" Real life people like Arnie can be interesting but you gotta have a lot of patience with them.
Jordan Sprouse The actual technical term "retardation" is the slowing or limitations of development. Mentally retarded is only a "bad" word because people make it so.
+Jordan Sprouse Yeah, I am not a fan of the word "retarded" either.
Spread the word to end the word. I just know the "r" word can be insulting to people like Arnie. I even know people like Arnie.
Jordan Sprouse actually autism and mental retardation aren't the same
I was NOT expecting him to be in Jack Sparrow get-up. When I first saw him, I went "What in the hell" and then it clicked. lol
Leo, at about 19 looks like he's 10. He still has the same mannerisms now and it's so bizzare to see he still has the same babyface. He's so adorable and just SO talented and "normal". It's amazing and extremely rare in HWood.
Johnny deep is very cute in here and leo great character.... i love both.
Leo plays amazing in this movie.
i've seen this movie and it made me cry hysterically. the way the movie portrays real world problems of mental illness is incredible.
3:27
my heart just melted
Same
Oh leo when he was younger sooo cute :)
one of the best movie ever made
Two of the best actors of our time - and neither went to drama school or got training!!!!
One of my best movie's. Love this film.
my god , leo
Leo Deserved an oscar for this i was really Convinced by his outstanding performance
awh, arnie (leo) is so adorable ^^
Leo should have won Oscar for his role...
LEO...AN ACTING GENIUS!!! Superb portrayal of every role anyone can ever imagine.
This was an amazing film I loved Johnny depp's and Leonardo DiCaprio's performance in this movie I feel like they work really well together
Johnny and Leo!! my two fav actors!!! :D
Watched the movie last night after not watching it for years and I have to say this might be Leo's best role yet. He is such an amazing actor and his portrayal was sooooo convincing it's insane! Can't believe he doesn't have more Oscar's!
Haha I love how Johnny acts in the interview still like Captain Jack Sparrow =D
Johnny Depp é tão lindo e maravilhoso. Agora com mais de 50 anos, melhor ainda. Amooo.
Leo is one of my favorite actors ever
I really any whole family thought this was a real boy . Incredible actor
"What do you say Arnie?"
"Oh, thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
I
he looked like jack sparrow already
this was during the time he was making the movie
immamake youmybiishh but i thought this movie was made in 1993 and pirates of the Caribbean was made in 2003
+Alix K he did say Leo has become a dashing man so
o...
LMAO
@@alix14359 this interview was done years after gilbert grape was made
Leo is so fcking talented
I really loved this movie. The story was so heartfelt
I saw this movie when it first came out and just fell in love with it, all the actors were brilliant and I can relate, I have an older brother who is mentally challenged and growing up I always protected him from the cruel world.
The ability to be heartbreaking. That's beautiful.
My favorite movie. This story is so much like my childhood. Reminds me of how poor we were and how we had so much to be thankful for
Que hermoso Leonardo Dicaprio en esta pelicula hizo espectacular ese papel 💖💖💖
Love This Movie ❤️👍🏻
