I also don't understand Leonardo Dicaprio

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I don't get it. He looks like he is 12 years old, and gets a lot of leading man roles. More like leading boy, amirite?

Like with Springsteen, I just dont get the appeal. Never have.

Sometimes he does a good job. He was pretty good in both Catch Me If You Can and Wolf of Wallstreet, IMO.

He's a dedicated actor. The creepy scene in Django Unchained where he cuts his hand and then wipes his blood on the girl's face wasn't scripted -- the cut was an accident, and he just went with it. He was the retarded kid in What's Eating Gilbert Grape as well.

My perception used to be shaded because my first exposure to him was the sucking mush-hole of Titanic, but he's a good performer.

I hear what you're saying, but I can't get the fact he looks like a pre-pubescent boy. Yeah he acted insane as Massah Candy, but he still looked like a boy playing the role of a man.

I plan on watching Revenant eventually. I hope I can stop thinking he looks like a boy wearing a beard.

Leo and JGL will look 15 for another couple decades until time catches up all of a sudden one day.

I don't think anyone will be casting Leo in a Schwarzenegger or Stallone role. As long as they cast him correctly, he'll always be a huge star because of his acting chops.

But yeah, he's got a baby face.

Maybe that's my bias. I came up with rugged men as my role models. To me that's what a man looks like. To others, maybe not.

Know what.... I was a pretty naive kid when I was young... sheltered, possibly... but even when I was 10 years old, I knew there was some pretty gay shit going on in Road Warrior.

So what you're saying is Leo needs a full beard before you'd find him attractive?

No, then he looks like a child wearing a beard.

There's no hope for him, he will never look masculine.

Is this The Revenant thread?

It was hard not to like this movie - pure western revenge story. Looked cold as fuck there. P

My wife (last year): This one seems pretty serious, maybe she's the one?

Me: She's got 1 year left. It's like his personal version of Logan's Run.

What was the methodology behind those results?

Who has the best bodies? 20-somethings, obviously. However, as a 40-something for 10 years I saw 30 and 40 year olds who took care of themselves as far more interesting and desirable than 20-somethings.

As Dennis Miller said during a stand up in the late 80s-early 90s...(and I'm paraphrasing) "Sure, 72 virgins sounds great, but pretty quickly you'd start wanting a pro."

WTF are you going to talk about with a 20 something? TayTay's new album? I assure you Leo isn't with them for the conversations and they're too star struck to show their actual personality.

If they're 20 and you're a millionaire they'll talk about whatever you want to talk about.
