So why would he do this with me? But as it turns out he really loved the script. “I would be Martin Scorsese’s assistant on set. “I think he’s amazing and I love his work, but I just thought there’s no way he’s going to do this because if I could only work with Martin Scorsese, I would only work with Martin Scorsese,” McKay told the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast earlier this year. McKay wrote the character of astronomer Kate Dibiasky for Lawrence, and the “Silver Linings Playbook” Oscar winner got the first read of the script. “Don’t Look Up” stars DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence as astronomers trying to warn the globe about a meteor that will destroy the planet.

Subsequent awards seasons are unlikely to generate the thousands of meme posts and comments on Tumblr and Reddit that they did before the win.“DiCaprio countered that they could undermine the speech for laughs, and so together they rewrote the speech 15 times,” the profile continues, with McKay adding, “I think it’s the biggest laugh in the movie when I test screened it.” The thrill is gone: each Oscar run from now on will have much lower stakes. Now that DiCaprio has his Oscar, the running Poor Leo joke is over. But the little golden statue that solidified Leonardo DiCaprio’s status as a bankable, talented A-List actor may have also killed his covetable online fandom. Leonardo DiCaprio has what no other Hollywood actor does: a very special relationship with the Internet. That’s fewer than 10% of DiCaprio’s 1m retweets and likes. To compare, Brie Larson’s post-win message on her official social account (Instagram) attracted 88,757 likes and comments. The actor didn’t lose a huge number of users between the grassroots fandom and his official account - no small feat for a big movie brand. The high engagement for his tweets, however, indicates that his official account was able to capture the enthusiasm generated by the Poor Leo meme. The low number of mentions shows that the meme still operates independently of his official brand. Perhaps sensing that the actor doesn’t tweet himself, Twitter users talked around and about him - they didn’t try to include in the Poor Leo/Validated Leo conversation.
Just 20 to 60 tweets per day mentioned and, as shown above, the account never responded. Other snapshots of DiCaprio followed suit, becoming their own memes in the same Goofy Leo genre. That was before Strutting Leo turned a megastar and global brand into an affable, goofy snapshot that has stayed popular for more than five years. As a member of the dubiously named Pussy Posse, he had a reputation that is entirely explained by that name.īut that was before most Millenials started making memes on the Internet. In the 90s, before Tumblr and Reddit churned out memes like studios churn out remakes, DiCaprio’s image in the public eye was enviable… but not pristine. What did winning an Academy Award do to Leonardo DiCaprio online, and why did the Internet care so much? Becoming Meme Until this year, DiCaprio seemed to have everything but an Oscar. He even holds two Blockbuster Entertainment Awards: a testament to his long tenure in show business. DiCaprio has picked up three Golden Globes, two Critics’ Choice Awards, and one Scream Award. In the world of film, he’s famed director Martin Scorsese’s favourite leading man and has won awards for his environmentalism and acting.
It’s hard to find a less pitiable man on earth than Leonardo DiCaprio: the actor has achieved stratospheric levels of success. How the Internet Fell in Love with Leonardo DiCaprio
