Leonardo DiCaprio on 'The Great Gatsby,' Approaching 40, and Marriage

"Extra's Jerry Penacoli sat down with Leonardo DiCaprio to chat about his new role in "The Great Gatsby," turning 40, and whether he sees marriage in his future.

[@emmyty]

I really appreciate how well-spoken and articulate Leonardo is. He has such a way with words and is extremely polite and tactful in all of his interviews. It makes me respect the person behind the talent even more.

[@nxzavian]

I know

[@emancipatedsoul8805]

Yeah but DiCaprio's response and demeanor was absolutely brilliant, and the shocked look on that mangania's interview's face was priceless! DiCaprio schooled him. He was being coy in his response about future marriage, I think he is way smart to risk all that he has worked so hard for on such an outdated and dangerous concept as marriage. Just look at what is happening to Johnny Depp.

He takes his future as single man ''day by day'' = a model per year :)) Anyway, he talks so carefully and rationally, and his confidence makes him 100000000 times sexier! Big love for Leo!

[@Coffeeaddict496]

"Day by day" as if he were channeling Jack Dawson there. "I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or who I'm gonna meet or where I'm gonna wind up ... You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you ... to make each day count."

[@Coffeeaddict496]

Hahaha honestly don't know why I'm called that, I created the user when I was a lot younger. But I mean, its only as naughty as the person who thinks it is ;) And I agree, he seems tired of interviews

[@BeatlesDicaprio8]

He just sets off an aura of humility and calmness...he is such a respectable person.

[@hollisterpatricia]

Leonardo diCaprio is intriguing, talented in fully becoming the character he' s portraying. I watched The Great Gatsby to see that era so lavishly presented but as it ended the tragedy of the character was what overwhelmed me. The death of Gatsby was so horribly painful to see. I've wondered about a real person's last few seconds of life after being shot and I think DiCaprio probably made me see the last few seconds of my son's life as they were. In some way this helped me to see beyond wondering what horror my son was going through; I could see the pain of life's infinite struggle leave. It feels terrible to write this but it was ultimately my personal connection to the movie, a revelation I didn't expect.

[@saritavaughn534]

I am obsessed with this movie I swear

[@aloeveraa1]

2:00 "Am I supposed to feel bad about that"? Good answer Leo.

Jenny Huang Thats ignorant a.f Married doesn't always mean something bad for a person, the fck is going on with this world!

[@Father-Nature]

@@marykacyy6802 If Leo ever got married, all his new bride would have to do is say she's "unhappy" after X years of marriage, divorce him and she'd get half, if not more, of his wealth and assets. All for spreading her legs a few times. The modem concept of marriage is a joke and Leo seems to be one of the few famous men who get this. And Keanu Reeves. If you're rich, marriage just isn't with it. Or, evern if you're an average guy! Just don't do it. The governments have empowered the woman to destroy her man any time she wants. But some men are smart enough to keep hold of the money they earned by not signing that legal (marriage) contract with the state and the woman.

Gilbert grape is still a movie im always watching and it still moves me.

[@vincentpaternoster5975]

Watching interviews of Leo makes me laugh because it always seems that when a guy interviews him, especially guys that are older than him, you can tell they are jealous of his A-list status and looks that give him the ability to get any woman and anything he wants. On the other hand, when women interview him, you can see them melting as he looks at them lol. Leo is so professional, well spoken, and is an incredible actor. As an actor jus starting out, I can only dream to have the carrer he has.

[@juliasasmr1]

[@KOLLauren]

This is the 3rd interview I've watched of Leo for Gatsby and all the interviewers grill him about getting older and not settling down. It's so irritating. He's Leo DiCaprio...if he wanted a wife and kids, he could easily have them! He leads an extraordinary life and he's arguably the best actor of our generation. Stop trying to make him feel weird for not following the boring, conventional path of getting married. He always answers questions so graciously though! Very down-to-earth guy.

[@greenkitty82]

Ha! Good one. I can't see him settling down really and as you said, it's not relevant to his work so why would they question it? Probably to scrutinise him more. Leo seems too busy with his work anyway to really have a mate, although he does have his model girlfriends as companions.

I always believed that he would be perfect for the lead role in "The Catcher in the Rye"... IF it ever was made into a movie today... but all the same, he was a perfect Mr. Gatsby, another one of my favorite novels.

[@didepp9466]

wait... i respect your opinion, but I think he doesn't fit the role. Holden is too normal, Leo is too overrated and at the same time underrated. if you know what I mean.

[@didepp9466]

by normal I mean, eccentric normal. ah. it's really hard to describe him!

[@didepp9466]

+Bumble Bee yeah right. i really really don't want to see a Catcher in the Rye movie in a Pop Culture generation. i mean, I would've wanted to see it if the movie was made in the 80's or 90's. But I'd rather die not seeing a film because the book is enough, more than enough for me. God, I am so happy I can talk to somebody with the same interest! Nice chatting with you, too, Bumble Bee.

What is the big deal about marriage? That contract and lifestyle isnt for everyone. Its like they want him to be as miserable as they are. Marriage and children won't make getting "older" any easier, in fact it makes things worse. Even on leos worse day he'll still be happier than those married couple who feel hate each others guts and (secretly) feel stuck.

[@Lithio0oma]

Key Key GOD not every married couple is like that! don't forget that our media always interprets all marriages as boring and bound to fail or couples will cheat on others , hate each other or just pure miserable ... etc! in my family there are couples who are happy and those who are struggling! at the end every state a person is in( single or married) has a good and a bad side ! the real deal is that happiness depends on ppl living the life that they want! the life they desire! the life that will make them satisfied! because satisfaction is what will make a person go through the hardships until the good times come were he/she can enjoy it with whomever or alone!

[@mahatmagandhi7588]

Leonardo is crazy to get married. Here is why: 1) No state in America views marriage as a binding contract. It is called "No Fault Divorce." 2) The minute she is pregnant with his child she is locked into his income for 20 + years, whether she stays with him or not. 3) Women are initiating around 70% of all divorces 4) In light of all the hostility against men, false allegations from her are highly probable if she gets mad at him or needs the leverage in a custody battle. 5) He has the financial resources to go through surrogacy to have a child, if he wants one. A woman can carry his child, give birth to it, and it is his child only. No woman can ever take it away from him or minimize his time. He can have female friends but the kid always will stay with him. Besides, this woman is going to end up costing him plenty so why throw the money away on her, which is a huge maybe. 6) She is too young. She may think that she knows what she wants but the reality is the average age of divorce is 30 years of age. she is only 21 years-old. She will change quite a bit by the time she is 30 years old. 7) I will predict that she will be pregnant within a couple of years of first getting married and they will be divorced in 5-7 years. You heard it here first. 8) Getting married without a prenup is insane and utter stupidity!!!!
