Leonardo DiCaprio Opens Up About That Bear Scene & Shooting The Revenant!
Jordan Strauss/Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP Leonardo DiCaprio arrives at the world premiere of “The Revenant” on December 16 in Los Angeles, Calif.
This will be Leo’s sixth Oscar nomination if he gets the vote, and he has yet to win the award. “You can’t predict marriage”, he said, adding, “You can’t plan it”.
The Revenant star insisted he didn’t want to “get into specifics about it” in case he was misunderstood, but suggested it was something he would accept if he happened to start a family.
“It was completely disgusting”. But I only did it twice, and my reaction is up on screen.
Inspired by true events, The Revenant focuses on a legendary explorer named Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio).
The beauty of an unspoiled American wilderness and great acting along with the story of survival against all odds win out in the end in this moving portrayal of true devotion.
Can Glass survive the elements and those who would do him harm?
“The ordeal DiCaprio endures as Glass is a far cry from his role as a flashback teen version of a rich man named Mason Capwell on the soap opera Santa Barbara, which aired in the 1980s and 90s”.
Asked about rumors that there might be a wedding in the near future, DiCaprio was quick to nix such talk.
To give the film an authentic feel, Inarritu, who a year ago won the best director and best picture Oscars for “Birdman”, cut back on special effects, using natural light. “This film was about survival, bout the triumph of the human spirit, but more than anything it was about trust”. Outnumbered and hungry the men separate in search of food -what comes next is rather disturbing, and I won’t lie I found myself closing my eyes for most of it – the famed bear attack.
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio arrives at the 73rd Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, California, January 11, 2016.
A big reason the actor chose to do The Revenant was because of the film’s depiction of the West’s destruction of the land, and the extermination of other cultures – which he recently touched upon in his Golden Globes acceptance speech. “It was about a four to five hour make-up job every day with all the scars…so again, it was just a joy, the whole experience!”
That of Glass is an example par excellence.
“We had a massive crew that had to logistically move from these remote locations through these incredibly harsh winter landscapes”, he said.
