Spending quite some time down south for the film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Leonardo DiCaprio looks mighty fine in the latest edition of GQ Australia.Â
With his token perpetually-brooding gaze, Leo channeled the James Dean look in his spread, lensed by Craig McDean. For the article, he was interview by fellow Hollywood legend, Clint Eastwood.
“For my generation, it’s always the 70s. That period where you felt like the hands were being dealt back in the director’s favor. The studios realized that letting them tell their stories was something the audience had a hunger for. And of course, it all went awry. Taxi Driver to me is the ultimate independent movie performance. Playing a character like Travis Bickle is every young actor’s wet dream.”
