When Leonardo DiCaprio became my generation’s answer to Romeo he was still considered one of the most promising actors in Hollywood. In the 16 years since Baz Luhrmann’s updated “Romeo + Juliet” paved the way for Shakespeare revamps to become their very own sub-genre, Leo has become one of the most popular, bankable and talented actors in Hollywood.
It was the all too rare instance of Hollywood picking a winning pony.
That’s why it’s so fascinating to see a still long-locked Leo talking about becoming the lovelorn lad in this brand new behind-the-scenes footage from “Romeo + Juliet’s” upcoming Blu-ray release.
