Man DiCaprio was amazing in that film, especially for being an inexperienced young actor at the time... I don’t know if he did but he definitely deserved an award for that role. He played that character so convincingly, I had no clue he was even acting until I saw him in movies later on and became what he’s become!

[@TampaJay]

I agree Nick he didn’t receive an Oscar for this role but he sure deserved it. I’ve always been a fan of his acting. The beach is one of my favorites also

[@dawnharley9889]

@@TampaJay if you haven't already Watch this Boy's life and basketball diary's I think his acting even beats what's eating gilbert grape

Great video Jay! Me and my son unexpectedly visited the grocery store today and took some pics. We were driving back from Austin when I realized it was right off the interstate.

What a beautiful video, Jason. The last scene at the site of the Grape property was so touching. You deserved that rock. Thank you for taking us along. 💜

[@TampaJay]

Thank you Diane. I’m happy you enjoyed that moment. It was so peaceful out there. Appreciate you :)

[@RandaWise]

I know right! It's so ironic what happened to that house at the end, and how it ended up in real life.

[@rose-mf9gn]

I felt nostalgic watching your vlog. Thank you for taking us around the film location of this emotionally intense movie where I first saw Johnny Depp and Leonardo di Caprio. I loved the movie and I admired the acting ability of the two men.

[@andrewkonkey7636]

Absolutely loved the video, man! I live in New Braunfels about 30 minutes from Lockhart. Watching the movie again at the courthouse scene I thought that looked familiar! Definitely going to have to make a trip to Manor grocery here soon!

[@larrys9385]

Great job, I am from this area, Just a couple things to add to your info, Manor is pronounced Main-or, Coupland is pronounced Cope-lend and the part where the Burger Barn is, is in My hometown of Elgin in the parking lot of Southside market and BBQ. Thanks for doing this it was very informative.

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Thanks for coming along with me it wouldn’t be the same without the fan to appreciate these movies. This is one of my favorite filming location endeavors till this day

Another great one!

Thanks buddy

found your video after watching the movie 2nd or 3rd time. it is one of my favorite movies too. Thank you for sharing this.

[@AveiroDan]

Hi Tampa Jay! Another great filming location video! 2 min into your video, I realized I’ve never seen “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” So before I went any further, I went on Netflix to watch it. Wow, great movie. After the movie, I went back to watch your film/KZbin video. Amazing job! I can’t believe how many miles you had to travel to capture It all. Very impressive and great investigative work! One of your best so far! I truly enjoyed it and watching the original film. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to seeing more!

[@TampaJay]

That’s so awesome that you enjoyed the movie. I’m happy you go to experience and appreciate you coming back to the vid too thank you son much Dan

[@bjornemccomb8262]

Wow! This was a nice surprise! I LOVE this movie and Leonardo is my fav actor. I actually cried seeing the property of the house, so happy that you made a video of this. I love filming locations and if I didn’t have kids I’d be doing this same thing as a job. Can’t wait for the next one Jay! 👊🏻 Exceptional work 👏🏻

[@TampaJay]

Thank you so much happy to hear you enjoyed it I’m a big fan of Leonardo’s work myself. That All began with this film

[@bjornemccomb8262]

My sister watched this film AFTER Titanic, she didn’t believe that it was Leonardo in both films, I had to prove it and show her evidence, true story! He’s a brilliant actor still to this day he should get an Oscar for all the films he’s been in 😎

[@angeloregidor]

What an admirably thorough examination of one of my favorite movie's filming locations! This made me surprisingly sentimental!

[@jamiebabs7725]

I watched this movie so much when I was a kid. Great video!

Great filming location Jay. I really enjoyed this film. Everyone did a great job especially Leonardo Dicaprio and Darlene Cates (RIP) who played the mom.

[@TampaJay]

They sure did do a great job thank you buddy

[@Bob-jg3vq]

You did a really good job on the What's Eating Gilbert Grape video. I'm guessing that the Grape house was a movie prop house?

[@hotrodchevrolet5668]

I doubt it, although they burned it down at the end of the movie so it wouldn't be there anyway.

[@jadotucker9810]

the inside scences of the house were filmed at quick sand farms in Travis county texas the outside scences of the house were filmed at the one that was burnt down

[@4G63Tx]

This is awesome! I’m a native Texan myself, and know where a lot of movies have been filmed here, but I had no idea Gilbert Grape was filmed in Texas! I’m gonna have to go and see Depp’s prints in Manor! Imogen Poots filmed a couple scenes where I live, in Schulenburg, for a movie called A Country Called Home. I also know Michael with John Travolta was filmed here when I was a kid, and Transformers 4 was partly filmed in Manor. Also more recently, Tree of Life shot some scenes in neighboring La Grange, just 20 mins from me

[@4G63Tx]

Update! I finally visited Manor TX yesterday and got some photos of some of the locations that were used for filming. As well as photos of Johnny Depp’s initials, footprint and date in front of the grocery store that Depp’s character worked at in the movie

[@majorcynic]

One of my all-time favorite movies, too!! In fact, the first film I had seen Leo in and I said to myself, "this kid is gonna be HUGE!"

Jay - I loved this video. I actually followed you on this video using Google Maps and was able to see exactly where you were at each location.

[@TampaJay]

Thanks William. The Texas wind is a real thing haha

[@mdog86]

Wow, being from Texas I honestly had no idea it was filmed here. Or maybe I just forgot, cause I haven't seen it in 20 years. Incredible movie though. And watching clips of it now as an adult makes me tear up whereas as a kid watching it so long ago it didn't really hit me as strong. This movie is proof though that Leo is hands down one of the greatest actors of all time.

[@d.redrobinphillips9959]

One of my favorite movies as well. I live in Austin and visited Manor one day to see the grocery store. But didn't visit the other locations you went to. HEB stands for Howard E Butt the founder of the grocery chain. I worked for HEB for many years during my University days. Was surprised to see you were visiting Austin and hope all went well. This movie doesn't appeal to everyone but I agree that it is very special and deep. Take care and thanks for all you do.

[@austinartist0608]

The movie Best Little Whore House in Texas was also filmed in Pflugerville in the early 1980's. Its still there today. About 9 years ago I was taking building materials out to the old house that is a few miles east of Pflug. The old guy David, gave me a tour. There is a turret in front that had the interior plaster removed and written on the wall S&R 1911. He explained that the house is a Sear's and Roebuck kit home. I haven't seen the Lockhart square since 1976 when my brother was hired to be in a Coca-Cola bicentennial commercial. I spent a cold January day there participating in a parade freezing but acting like it was the 4th of July. I lived between Manor and Pflugerville growing up.
