Leonardo DiCaprio’s best films demonstrate the immense footprint he has left in the history of American cinema. With 50 years old, he has already made some of the best films in the history of cinema. The actor born in Los Angeles seemed to succeed the first time he was seen on the big screen, and confirmed in the 90s with films like ‘Diary of a rebel‘(Scott Kalvert, 1995). The rest is history. He has been in some of Martin Scorsese’s best films of the last decade, has become the fetish actor of the 10 films of Quentin Tarantino and has ended up rising with the desired Oscar for Best Actor In 2016 for ‘El Renacido’ by Alejandro G. Iñárritu. An award that, for many, took too long to arrive.
Leonardo DiCaprio could write a book about his bad luck. The same year he celebrated his first Oscar, the actor visited the Ellen Degeneres program to promote the story of Hugh Glass – a nineteenth -century explorer who after being attacked by a bear and given dead by his teammates survives in extreme conditions to seek revenge – and, incidentally, chat about the worst experiences of his life. Among them, the day he jumped from a plane. “Would you do it again?“The presenter asked.” Well, “DiCaprio began,” when both parachutes do not open, one tends not to repeat the experience. I jumped and the parachute did not open. Peded into the earth.”
Leaving a smile of relief after the bad drink, the interpreter continued: “It was a tandem jump, so someone was on my back. We started a free fall towards the earth. And that’s when you see the photos of your whole life go before your eyes. And then the second parachute also got tangled up. I saw all my friends opening their parachute tangled about good 20 or 30 seconds [el monitor] He unraveled it and said: ‘Oh, surely you are going to break your legs because we are going too fast.’ It was one of the worst experiences of my life and I will not do it again. “
Although luckily he left with his legs intact, the actor also lived another moment worthy of film … aboard an plane, of course. “I was on a plane towards Russia and the engine exploded”DiCaprio revealed before the watchful eye of the presenter. “He was looking out the window and the whole engine became a fireball. It was just after Sully occurred that incident where the geese flew to both engines,” he explained referring to the 1549 flight of US Airways, which inspired the 2016 ‘Sully’ tape directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks.
“That happened in one of the engines,” the actor continued, relying on his sense of humor, “and I was the only one there that seemed to have noticed, but it was a fire ball in flames. All passengers were Russians and I felt as if I had already died and had gone to heaven because nobody said anything. And I shouted at all lungs: ‘What the hell is happening here?’ While people just looked at me.We seem to have a small problem. We have lost one of our engines‘. Basically, we spent fuel for the next 45 minutes and made an emergency landing in which the tires exploded. There were a hundred ambulances there and they put it in the news. Now I feel that I should write a book. “
Trapped between music and cinema, from Vigo arrived in Madrid to study journalism and audiovisual communication at the Carlos III University. Legend has it that classes preferred to skip to go to some premiere although, if you ask, deny it.
