He's one of the all time greats. What he lacks in range (which is much better than he gets credit for), he makes up for with sheer commitment to every performance. His presence in a film is basically a seal of quality. Leo doesn't do stinkers, he doesn't do cash grabs, and he doesn't do blockbuster drivel.

Behind the scenes, he deserves mad props for dumping shitloads of time and money (about a decade) trying to get a live action Akira adaptation going. He will probably be old enough to play the scientist by the time it happens.

People wanna shit on him for dating young girls but certainly look the other way when it comes to their favorite musicians and sports stars. How dare he be a mega giant sex symbol that has young girls clawing at him. I'm sure that every man criticizing him would be like 'no ms world class supermodel I will not have sex with you and a room full of your friends'. Dudes hit bullseye's for 30 years straight. Let him fuck supermodels, lol.
