On Instagram, you will find A Video of Leonardo Dicaprio Inside of Regal Union Square Set to Bob’s “Out of My Mind” Featuring Nicki Minaj. This audio is typically reserved for Women Showing off their haircuts (“Bobs”), so why is dicaprio doing it? Well, His Character’s Name in One Battle AFTER ANOTHER Is Bob Ferguson, and he has a movie to promote and audio trends on who to jump aboard. There’s no upper echelon in Hollywood Now –

DICAPRIO, WHO Appears Surpringly Bemused, Has Also Willingly Appeared in Tickson Late-Night Showssat down for podcastsand lent his image to Fortnite. You know who Else is in Fortnite? Sabrina Carpenter. They are Making Leonardo Dicaprio will a Sabrina Carpenter – Style Press Tour for One Battle AFTER ANOTHER – and it kind of seems to be working.

Despite What Dicaprio Says to the Brothers Kelce On New Heights – This is not his first time doing a podcast. He DRANK the proto-new-media circuit kool-aid for Quentin Tarantino’s Once uppon a time… in Hollywood by appearing on WTF with Marc Maron With Buddy and Co-Star Brad Pitt (Who Wold Go On To Win A Long-OccarDue Oscar for the Film). On Maron’s Show, Dicaprio Mostly kept to himself – a tricky thing to do on a podcast – Letting Pitt Run the Charm Offensive. He has no Such barrier for One Battle AFTER ANOTHERpolytely Fielding Questions from the Kelce Brothers About Whether or Not He Got “Ted for Real” in the Movie (No) and Going on to Explain that being an actor is like to play Football with a differant coach coach.

Part of what Feels so surreal about seeing dicaprio do all these bits and bobs (compared to co-stars Teyana Taylor and Regina Hall and Newcomer Chase InfinitiThe Cast’s True Zoomer, Who All SEEM More than Comfortable Doing Little Videos or Longer Podcasts) is that the new normal for pressures on a Certain Kind of Relatability. Dicaprio May Be preternaturally talented, funny, and endlessly comprelling as a Big-screen present, but he has not really banked on relatability everlet Alone this lat into his career. Onto New Heightshe discusses realizing as a child that acting could be a real job – that he was to be “an Accountant or a travel agent.” That is the are His Frames of Reference for “Real” jobs has a distinctly Hollywood FEEL WHATHER IT IT OR NOT; these are possesions that he interface with in order to get from yacht to yacht.

The Last Time Dicaprio Graced The Big Screen Was for Martin Scorsse’s Brutal Epic Killers of the Flower Moona film in which he played a corruption husband Slowly poisoning his osage wife (lily gladstone) in order to inherit her land and access to oil. Like One Battle AFTER ANOTHERDicaprio Played Buffoonish and Vaguely Incompet, but Scorsse dosesn’t Weaponize HisGnorance for Laughs. Form Killers of the Flower MoonDicaprio took a backseat to gladstone in the spotlight (She won best actress at the golden globes), but the heavy Nature of that film the notion of using a trending on tiktok inappropriate. One Battle AFTER ANOTHER Is Quite Serious at Times, but Dicaprio’s Central Clownishness Makes Him Fair Game for the Most Lightweight Promo Imaginable material.

SO FAR, DICAPRIO SEEMS AS GAME AS EVER IN HIS FIRST WORKING MAN’S PRES TOUR: SMILING, MEASUED, TAKING IT ABOUT AS SERIOUSLY AS CAN. He doesn’t seem to mind being asked by jason kelce if his character in Shutter Island Knows what is happy at the end (this goes on to exploin that scorssese want that it has been to be up to the Viewer, Despite Dicaprio Believing that His Character Chooses Over Truth). Nor much as it feels unnatural to see dicaprio Engage with Short-form Video Content, What Comes Across Most Clearly is His Love for One Battle AFTER ANOTHER. “He’s got a lot riding on this, Because he’s never had a big big,” Regina Hall joked on Amy Poehler’s Good hank. And he’s doing a great job at Silently claim to know About The Summer i Turaned Pretty.
