Was Leo huge at that point?
00:00:02
No, this is before Titanic. I don't want
00:00:04
to speak out of turn or you know,
00:00:06
go ahead.
00:00:06
But we were living large. We were living
00:00:08
crazy. I mean, we were in Mexico City
00:00:10
and, you know, he had a crew. It was a
00:00:13
lot of male actors and we were just we
00:00:15
was just acting like old Hollywood.
00:00:17
I'm sure you can leave it at that.
00:00:19
Not quite sure what you're talking
00:00:20
about, but anyway. Uh, did Leo have a
00:00:23
vibe then? Did you think, hey, that
00:00:24
kid's gonna be a superstar or he was
00:00:26
just
00:00:26
so good in the movie, man. as another
00:00:28
actor. You know, there are actors that
00:00:30
are really mad, selfish, and they just
00:00:32
take care of themselves and they walk
00:00:33
off. They don't even try to hang or he
00:00:35
would give the same or better
00:00:37
performance off camera for us. It was so
00:00:41
generous and so beautiful.
00:00:43
Did you see the movie Titanic?
00:00:45
I don't see commercial movies.
00:00:46
I was just curious cuz there was a
00:00:48
problem I had with the movie. It's
00:00:49
brilliant, but well, when the ship is
00:00:51
going down, it's Jack and Rose are the
00:00:53
characters. He's Jack. And they say each
00:00:56
other's names over and over again
00:00:57
throughout the whole going running
00:00:59
around the ship, you know. Rose, Rose,
00:01:01
Jack, Jack, you know, I mean, every
00:01:04
Jack, go this way. Rose, come over here.
00:01:06
It's never hey, you or let's go. They
00:01:09
say Rose or Jack like 200 times.
00:01:11
I like that observation.
00:01:12
You wanted them to just go, "Hey."
00:01:14
It'd be like me saying, "John, uh,
00:01:17
David, hey, John, David, David, John."
00:01:19
It was a bit much.
00:01:20
It's kind of like bad writing. Like you
00:01:22
like you want to you want to get your
00:01:24
character names in early.
