When watching your favourite movie or TV show, you might have come across two characters whose on-screen display of romance is quite unbelievable. You might have even wished that the on-screen romance should become real life romance because of the chemistry that exists between them. This description befits Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio relationship. Winslet and DiCaprio’s relationship is one to be admired. They have enjoyed a close friendship for more than 23 years since they met during the shooting of Titanic. There are no signs of their relationship ending any time soon as they are still the closest friends…

It’s one of the biggest questions in cinematic history: Could Jack have survived at the end of “Titanic?” It’s been 25 years since viewers first witnessed the shocking death of Leonardo DiCaprio’s character in James Cameron’s epic, and costar Kate Winslet is finally addressing if he could have lived. If you’re unfamiliar with the ending, let’s go back. The box-office sensation ends with Jack (DiCaprio) and Rose (Winslet) surviving the sinking of the Titanic. But in the icy waters, Rose floats on a broken door. Jack, unable to also get on, stays in the water and hangs onto the edge…

Austin Butler is flying high. From scoring a 2023 Golden Globes nomination to receiving the Breakthrough Performance Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, the Elvis star has a busy award season ahead of him. Luckily, Austin knows how to stay grounded through it all thanks to words of wisdom from none other than Leonardo DiCaprio. As for the advice his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood co-star gave him? “It’s really how lucky we all are,” Austin exclusively told Chief Correspondent Keltie Knight on the Jan. 9 episode of E! News (airing tonight at 11:30 p.m.). “To stay humble and to stay grateful, really, is kind of the core of what we talk about.” But…

With the confirmation of a dozen new moons in Jupiter’s orbit, the biggest planet in the Solar System is suddenly the neighborhood big dog when it comes to moon collection. With the advent of these 12 previously undiscovered moons, the gas giant now has 92 known orbiting entities, surpassing Saturn’s amazing collection of 83. Although scientists face a significant challenge in locating these tiny celestial entities, both planets are really expected to be joined by many more moons. The intense glare emitted by Jupiter further complicates things, and any that are tiny enough to have escaped discovery up to now…

Stephen King’s 2021 novel Billy Summers is being adapted into a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and J.J. Abrams being eyed to star and direct. Stephen King’s bestselling book Billy Summers is being adapted into a feature film with Leonardo DiCaprio and J.J. Abrams attached. Although written by the King of Horror, Billy Summers is a crime novel that follows the titular aging assassin who accepts one last job before his planned retirement. Soon after it was published in 2021 and debuted at No. 1 on The New York Times bestseller list, Billy Summers was quickly optioned by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot productions to be adapted into a limited…

When actor Leonardo DiCaprio attends an awards ceremony, his mother is often on his arm. Now she’s somewhere else: in the annals of biological literature. The actor recently named a newly discovered species of snail-eating snake after his mother, Irmelin, in a bid to raise awareness about the threats that mining presents to biodiversity in Central and South America. Sibon irmelindicaprioae — DiCaprio’s Snail-eating Snake — is a docile reptile that dwells in eastern Panama and northwestern Colombia, where it forages for snails and slugs on palm fronds, trees and shrubs. But the old-growth forests that serve as its home are threatened. Part of…

All the ingredients of our DNA have been found on meteorites now, scientists say. What does this mean? Quite simply that life on Earth could have come from space. Rocks from space that crashed into our planet Earth over the last century contained the five base components that store information in DNA and RNA, scientists wrote in Nature Communications on April 26. The five “nucleobases” are adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil, along with a few sugars and phosphates together create genetic code of all life on Earth. A 2-gram chunk from this rock — a piece of the meteorite…

Leonardo DiCaprio was seen out with a fresh face on Tuesday night as he made an appearance at Ebony Riley’s release party for her new EP. The 48-year-old Oscar winner was spotted seated next to 19-year-old Israeli model Eden Polani as they soaked up the atmosphere. Seemingly missing from the event was Leo’s current girlfriend Victoria Lamas, who at 23 is 25 years his junior and almost half his age. The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star was dressed in his standard casual ensemble, though he didn’t mask up as he sometimes does at public events. He covered up with a simple…

JJ Abrams and Leonardo DiCaprio are producing the Stephen King adaptation Billy Summers, which DiCaprio might star in https://youtu.be/sC1l_PbhzD8 Almost exactly one year ago, we heard that JJ Abrams’ production company Bad Robot was shopping around a limited series adaptation of the Stephen King novel Billy Summers (you can pick up a copy at THIS LINK), with Edward Zwick attached to direct the series and write the scripts with Marshall Herskovitz. At the time, Bad Robot wasn’t certain how long Billy Summers was going to be, just somewhere in the range of “six to ten episodes”. Well, now we know it’s going to be something closer to two hours…

It is the first time that scientists have detected a signal that originates from another galaxy located 9 billion light years away from Earth. The radio signal was captured by the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope located in Pune, India. The giant radio telescope includes a field of 30 dish antennas all pointed skyward with each dish about 150 feet in diameter. Using this sophisticated telescope, scientists detected a unique radio signal with a unique wavelength known as the 21-centimeter line or the hydrogen line. This signal is emitted by neutral hydrogen atoms. Unfortunately, this unique signal did not come from…

Look, it’s all very complicated. Nolan, who writes or co-writes his own screenplays, is clearly very interested in the flow of time, and the strange function of chronology. Most of his films play with the perception of time, sometimes directly. His 2014 space opera “Interstellar” features several time travel conceits. In one scene, a team of astronauts explores a planet for merely an hour while a year elapses for their compatriot in orbit. In another, the main character sees himself able to peer backward in time through a surreal temporal nexus. Nolan’s 2017 war film “Dunkirk” told the story of…

One of my most embarrassing moments as a showbiz journalist was Leonardo DiCaprio turning down a selfie with me at the BAFTAs. It was February 14, 2016 and Leo had won Best Actor for his performance in The Revenant and all I wanted to do was say I had spent Valentine’s Day with the man of my dreams. But if the opportunity arose once again, I’m not sure I’d bother getting my phone out. That’s because, for the first time in my life, Leo gives me the ick. For those unfamiliar with the phrase, he’s just a bit of a turn off these days,…

Members of the Osage Nation provided feedback and this changed what Martin Scorsese’s original plans were, Lily Gladstone says. Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro and directed by Martin Scorsese, is one of 2023’s most anticipated movies. The film tells the story of the Reign of Terror in the 1920s when members of the Osage Nation were murdered one by one after huge deposits of oil were discovered under their land. The movie changed significantly over the course of its production due to the input of local Osage Nation members, star Lily Gladstone says.…

Venus is our closest planetary neighbour, and above its oppressive surface, in the clouds, there is a mystery. In the planet’s clouds, scientists have discovered traces of phosphine, a substance that may be produced by living organisms. In Venus’ hazy atmosphere, life may exist, as scientists have long assumed. The surface of Venus reaches temperatures of more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit, making it unfriendly. No probe sent to the planet has managed to survive for more than a few hours. But the planet’s atmosphere, which is made up of thick layers of sulfuric acid clouds, might offer a special environment…

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio have worked together five times, but there’s one scene in which Scorsese actively tried to scare DiCaprio. Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio have made five movies together – from the lawless 1800s streets in The Gangs of New York, to the Golden Age of Hollywood in The Aviator, to the bombastic, hedonistic 1980s in the The Wolf of Wall Street. If there’s one movie that you think might have scared DiCaprio, you’d have thought it would be Scorsese’s horror movie Shutter Island, but it was actually a scene in his Infernal Affairs remake The Departed. Speaking to the DGA…

Hayden Christensen eventually played the role of Jedi turned Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker Actor Leonardo DiCaprio turned down the part of Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequels. The 41-year-old star revealed he was set to take the role of the young Jedi knight in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith but it eventually went to Hayden Christensen because he wasn’t “ready to take the dive”. Asked whether he auditioned for the role, he said: “I did have a meeting with George Lucas about that, yes. I just didn’t feel ready to take that dive. At that point.” The Revenant star also…

You’ve heard how hard it was make to make The Revenant? It was grueling. Because that’s what you do to win an Oscar. That golden statuette is DiCaprio’s Moby-Dick. He visits the homes of his Oscar-winning friends and gets “too drunk” to drive home, then he crashes on the couch and plays with their Oscars while they’re asleep. He role-plays acceptance speeches during sex. Leonardo DiCaprio nearly killed himself to make The Revenant, and if he doesn’t win in 2016, he just might finish the job, if only to win a posthumous one in 2017. So, is it any real surprise that Leonardo DiCaprio turned down roles in Star Wars and two big…

Leonardo DiCaprio is Hollywood’s golden boy. As soon as he broke out with What’s Eating Gilbert Grape in 1993, he embarked on a long ascent that would see him rise to the top of the Hollywood ladder and raise the bar on what it meant to be a leading man in the modern age. From his breakout performance as doe-eyed beau destined for tragedy in Titanic to his last film role as Dr. Randall Mindy in Don’t Look Up, across his career, DiCaprio has shown to everyone that to achieve tangible and consistent greatness, actors need to push themselves into uncomfortable areas. Whether it be the…

If you’re team Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid (or Leonardo DiCaprio and anyone over the age of 25), you may have been disappointed to learn the actor apparently spent the last days of 2022 with a different model. But now, it’s being reported that this doesn’t necessarily mean the end for DiCaprio and Hadid’s romance, and we could be seeing more of them together soon. A source told Entertainment Tonight that “Leo and Gigi have enjoyed their time together when they’re able to see each other, but when they’re busy with various commitments, they’re doing their own things and they are not…

Non-scientific versions of the answer have invoked many gods and have been the basis of all religions and most philosophy since the beginning of recorded time. Now a team of mathematicians from Canada and Egypt have used cutting edge scientific theory and a mind-boggling set of equations to work out what preceded the universe in which we live. In (very) simple terms they applied the theories of the very small – the world of quantum mechanics – to the whole universe – explained  by general theory of relativity, and discovered the universe basically goes though four different phases. More importantly…

“Titanic” remains the biggest hit of Leonardo DiCaprio’s career, but it sounds like getting the actor to star in the film was tough work for director James Cameron. The filmmaker recently told People magazine that DiCaprio thought the “Titanic” screenplay was “boring” and didn’t want to star in the epic disaster romance film. Cameron had to “twist” DiCaprio’s arm. “He didn’t want to do a leading man,” Cameron said. “I had to really twist his arm to be in the movie. He didn’t want to do it. He thought it was boring. [He] accepted the part only when I convinced him that it was…

Though he does not look the type, Leonardo DiCaprio is actually a huge fan of Star Wars. There is enough solid, reliable evidence about that. For example, Jonah Hill mentioned how DiCaprio tried to get him into Star Wars when they were meeting during filming of Don’t Look Up: “Leo made me watch The Mandalorian when we were making Don’t Look Up, and it was like, Baby Yoda is so cute, but I just don’t give a f*** because I didn’t know anything that it was about.” However, this raises the question: if DiCaprio loves the franchise, why he never attempted to star in it?…

Dame Joanna Lumley was starstruck working with Leonardo DiCaprio. The BAFA-winning actress played the role of Aunt Emma in the Hollywood actor’s 2013 film ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ – in which he portrayed the real-life fraudulent stockbroker Jordan Belfort – and she admitted her heart was fluttering at the thought of working with the heartthrob but she was amazed by how down to earth and “humble” he was. She told Heat magazine: “My heart did beat a little faster at the thought of working with Leonardo DiCaprio. He was just golden. “He couldn’t have been sweeter or more courteous.…

However, in a preprint sent to arXiv this summer, Vitaly Vanchurin, a physics professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth, attempts to reframe reality in a particularly eye-opening way, implying that we live inside a huge neural network that governs everything around us. In other words, he wrote in the paper, it’s a “possibility that the entire universe on its most fundamental level is a neural network.” For years, physicists have attempted to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity. The first posits that time is universal and absolute, while the latter argues that time is relative, linked to the fabric…
