I think he’s one of the greats but kinda boxed himself in once he became a leading man. He was protecting his reputation and only working with great directors, but the roles also tended to fall into a certain lead role category. He’s gonna be the confident guy in a suit who at some point breaks down and yells.

I’ve really enjoyed seeing him go a little outside that box with OUATIH and Don’t Look Up. He’s got excellent comic timing and, as I said, is a great actor. He just needs to stop trying to prove it.

But this is all nitpicking. If the dude stars in a movie, I’m gonna check it out. He doesn’t make bad films.

Leo's performance In Django Unchained was brilliant and it's probably my favourite, wish he could have done more stuff like that.

Fuck me, you just nailed down exactly what I've been trying to say about him to friends. He's got great hair and yells or cries a lot.
