Leo DiCaprio’s makeover for ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’: handsome or not cute?

These are some newish photos of Leonardo DiCaprio filming in New York City over the weekend. Leo has joined with his favorite director once again, Martin Scorsese, for The Wolf of Wall Street. The film is about…well, apparently it’s based on the true story of Jordan Belfort (who is played by Leo) and his rise and fall on greedy, seedy Wall Street. Allegedly, the story has a lot of “sex atop piles of money” and “cocaine”.

I guess this is a period film too, judging by the dated, oversized suit Leo is wearing. Is he supposed to look like a kid wearing his dad’s suit? Because that’s what he looks like. I can’t even decide if Leo is wearing a wiglet, either. I don’t think that’s Leo’s natural hairline, but if it is a wiglet, they got a good one. I mean, John Travolta should really look into getting himself something like this. I also don’t know if Leo is wearing prosthetics on his face, or if his jawline is really that… mushy. While his face doesn’t really look bloated and carby to me, his neck and jaw definitely look weird.

So, would you hit it? I don’t think I would. But I haven’t wanted to “hit it” with Leo in years and years. I had a brief moment of wanting him again in The Departed, but for the most part I haven’t wanted him since Romeo + Juliet.

Would you like to know who else is in the movie? Because I was surprised to see this list: Matthew McConaughey (he plays Leo’s boss), Jonah Hill, Jean Dujardin, Kyle Chandler, Jon Favreau, and voice work by Gene Hackman. Can you believe that list?! I’m incredibly proud of Jonah Hill – I can’t believe that boy managed to get himself onto a Scorsese movie! With LEO! Good for Jonah.

    His head just keeps getting bigger and bigger. And I mean physically, not his ego.

    When I first saw the photos, I actually thought that he’s looking the best he has for a few months.
    I think it’s the lack of a douche beard.
    Oh, and I heard that the film’s set in the ’80s, hence the crappy suit and awful perm on one of the other cast members.

    I’ve never thought he was particularly handsome or particularly talented. Truly, I don’t understand the interest, even when he works with Scorsese.

      What I don’t understand is why Martin Scorcese is always working with him — there are better choices for a leading role than DiCaprio.

        What’s so difficult to understand?

        He obviously thinks he is a good actor and enjoys working with him.

        @Eve – I recovered my love for Leo after seeing The Departed but after that my love for him has departed. Agree about his partnership with Scorsese. I want MS to direct Joaquin Phoenix in one movie at least. I do however appreciate the movie roles Leo chooses. He has an eye for a solid script but he’s been the same in his last few films. I cannot distinguish him in any of his intense drama roles anymore. Imagine Joaquin in some of these movies. The man would be a beast. Unfortunately he does not have Leo’s eye or choice of picks for solid scripts. I’m sure The Master will bring him back in force. In fact I am very happy that he worked with PTA before he gets a chance to work with Scorsese.

        @ Mira:

        I agree with you about DiCaprio pretty much repeating himself. And Phoenix working with Scorcese would be awesome indeed.

        DiCaprio does seem to have an eye for good scripts (that or he has a f*cking great agent) — however, his choices, albeit sensible, seem contrived. It seems he only goes after “Oscar bait” roles.

        As for Phoenix…simply the best actor in the world, in my opinion. Actually, I think he’s in a league of his own — absolutely flawless performances. But let’s face it: the man himself is somewhat difficult. It’s simpler to market someone like DiCaprio (who is willing to play the game) than someone like Joaquin Phoenix.

      I never been personally interested in him. And I don’t consider him to be one of my favourite actors…and yet I do find him really talented. And he’s in a lot of good movies. He’s just kind of blah to me. I don’t hate him, don’t love him.

      As for Jonah Hill. God, I do hate him. I don’t think he’s remotely funny. The fact he was nominated for an Oscar is a big joke.

      Exactly.

      Never wanted to hit it in the first place. Can’t imagine why I’d want to hit it with a different hair color.

      Jackie O is right about the baby-faced thing. Would make me feel like one of those pedophile teachers. Remember Mary Kay Latourneau? Yup, that’s what I would feel like with the baby face guys, lol.

    I find Leo so boring. Every photo I see of him with his barbie girlfriends in a date or hanging out (with him mommy close behind of course) he just looks like such a snooze. Even the models tend to look bored. Maybe he just seems moody all the time cause he hates the paps.

    People here are so clueless. Leo is one of the best actors of all time, face it! He IS talented, and he IS really hot. I don’t know why people like to knock around him. He looks young and fresh, and I can not wait to see his new masterpiece. I would, Leo, come to mamma.

    I will give him or anyone else credit in H’Woood for aging naturally. If he got plastic surgery, people would attack him. People age-it happens to everyone. My face now has wrinkles and I have the middle-age bloat. Weight-gain happens to most people as they age. Its ridiculous when celebrities get made fun of for something that happens to all of us.

    Definitely looks like hair and makeup tinkered with his hairline. It’s pulled back, and Leo’s hairline is stronger than this, so to speak.

    He’s got a TON of contouring makeup on which makes the close ups look sort of strange, but I’m sure that it’ll look great on film.

    The movie is based in the 80-90s, so of course the fashion is going to be tragic. (Much like the baggy sh*t designers threw down the runway in their fall collections)

    He’ll never be handsome, with that 12 year old face, even when it gets wrinkled. His fans can call him cute, but he sure isn’t good looking to me; he was so cute in Family Ties, was that the one? But he was a boy. Also, what’s with the slicked back hair all the time….kewl , man, and his Harley is just around the back of the building…yeah, man

  23. I still think he’s hot, I prefer grown men over pretty boys (like he looked in Titanic). And he is definitely one of the greatest actors of his generation – practically every peformance of his is Oscar-worthy (still amazed that he doesn’t have one yet!) and he seems really devoted to the movies he makes.

    So yeah, I’d hit it, and I’d hit it HARD :D

    Leo is way too baby-faced for my taste so he really never did it for me, looks-wise (except for maybe in Blood Diamond. He was hot there). But I think he cleans up nicely and has an interesting face that will serve him well in more character-based roles. As long as he doesn’t start tinkering with the plastic surgery, I totally give him a pass on his looks.

    He is mad talented though. I really enjoy the films he has done and think he’s a great actor, so I look forward to any films he is in.

    I think it benefits him that he is not as hot as he used to be. He always wanted to be a serious character-actor and when you are too pretty, people won’t take you that serious. I find a few comments here a bit mean, not everyone looks amazing while aging.

    It’s definitely a period piece.

    I think Leo is quite talented and has been since Gilbert Grape.

    I think he was required to gain weight for this movie.

    He does look baby-faced but middle-aged with the jowls and junk to go with it and he’s wearing a hair piece and for those who weren’t around WAY BACK THEN this is what a lot of suits then looked like.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if 12 months from now, he’s all lean and hard and lookin’ good for some other movie.
    It’s his job.

    Actresses shave their heads or starve half-to-death or pack on the pounds and people support them in their, “art”.

    Leo and/or Tom Hanks alter their appearance with extra chunk or by starving or growing a lot of facial hair and it’s all, “Oh, hell! What happened to him? Is he on drugs??”

    I wish he’d stop playing these crazy power-hungry types in movies – it feels like the same character over and over again. He’s good at it, sure, but … it’s just becoming craycray Leo rather than an actual character.

    Leo has never done it for me. But, I think it’s because he and my brother have a lot of the same features…so, it would be kind of weird if I was attracted to him.

    I swear, if he would just stop boozing and did some light work outs for even a month he would look so much better. He’s so bloated looking…it’s shows on his face and body that he doesn’t take care of himself. He did look pretty good in Blood Diamond because he wasn’t so bloated.

    I think Leo is extremely talented, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. As for how he looks , it is all wardrobe and makeup in this instance. I saw pictures from the set of WOWS , of him not in character, wearing a close fitting polo and jeans. He looks very fit actually. I am not sure if I am allowed to link to other blogs here, but is on JJ. The pictures are from this week.
