Hollywood A-listers usually have some pretty bizarre requests, like we’re talking really bizarre. But Leonado DiCaprio on the set of Once Upon A Time in Hollywood has had the most bizarre request yet, We’re talking about his alleged “no eye contact rule”.
A source from the set of Quentin Tarantino’s Los Angeles based movie told The Hollywood Reporter that crew members were “instructed to avoid making eye contact” with the Oscar-winning actor.
The Hollywood Reporter feature saw Quentin Tarantino compare DiCaprio to Hollywood’s leading men of the 70s, Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro and said that he had an air of “carefully crafted mystery”.
“One of the things I like about Leo is he just doesn’t plug himself into two movies a year. He kind of stands alone today, like Al Pacino or Robert De Niro were in the ’70s, where they weren’t trying to do two movies a year—they could do anything they wanted, and they wanted to do this. So that means this must be pretty good.”
But this doesn’t even come close to some of the weirder requests Leo has made in the past. Remember the NSFW rumour about his noise cancelling headphones?
