Leonardo DiCaprio covers the new issue of Variety, and the 39-year-old actor chats all about The Wolf of Wall Street, and it sounds like he REALLY wants that Oscar he worked just as hard to promote the movie as he did when he was on set!
"We knew we were doing a movie about incredibly distasteful people, and their likability would be questioned,” DiCaprio acknowledges. "But Marty [Scorcese] said, 'I've done a lot of movies like this, and I find that if you’re authentic in your portrayal of their nature and don't try to give them a false sense of motivation, audiences will go along with you on the journey.'"
“I really wanted this movie to succeed, because to me, you don’t see R-rated films like this getting made that aren’t on an epic scale,” he continued. “So I’m glad this film is now in the green. Studios ultimately look at what works and what doesn’t, and greenlight the things that do.” But will it win him his first Academy Award?
