I'm here with Leonardo DiCaprio nominated for his role in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. ' This film is sensational. The chemistry with you and Brad Pitt.
What was it like behind the scenes? It was amazing. Quentin always creates an environment that's so conducive for actors and bringing out their best.
And, you know, Brad and I kind of came up in this industry around the same time and we understood the dynamics of this relationship, the stuntman and the actor. And I don't know, I just love that he brought these two sort of outsiders and the changing of this culture in 1969 and this sort of buddy film, two guys that were going through a transition.
These kind of things can only come from the mind of somebody like Mr. Tarantino, who is an absolute genius. I love you said, these are the characters you've seen before.
You've been in business for a long time, so these guys you know. Well, that relationship, that dynamic and that's why I felt, you know, we had this massive sort of script that was our backstory together.
But as soon as Brad and I met and kind of knew who these guys were, because we've had those types of relationships, when you're working and off on location, you need that friend with you. And we kind of fit into those shoes immediately, which was fantastic and rare, too.
And for you, the rarity, of course, of coming back after The Revenant, and being here, nominated, I don't want to say does it get old, because you are always very gracious and grateful, but does it always feel the same? The same excitement? No, it never feels the same.
And, you know, it is that old cliche that it is an honor to be nominated, but it really is. When you work on these films for a long time and you put everything you have into them, to have other people recognize it like that, it's a fantastic feeling.
- Well, congratulations. Thank you for stopping by. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
