MUMBAI: To celebrate Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, English movie channel Movies Now brings its viewers the ?Best of Leo? in association with Asian Paints, a film festival showcasing some of his best works every Friday at 9 pm.
?Inception?, ?Blood Diamond?, ?The Departed?, ?Titanic?, ?Body Of Lies? and ?Man in the Iron Mask? will air on the channel.
With a career span spreading over two decades, Leonardo has grown from being a shy teenage chocolate hero to a courageous star, who gets into the skin of any character that he plays. After starting off as a commercial actor, over the past decade, Leonardo has moulded himself into a character actor who brings to life every emotion that his role demands.
The actor has an impressive timeline from being the 18-year-old Jack Dawson who falls in love with a girl on a ship and sacrifices his life for her in Titanic to Dom Cobb, the absolute best skilled thief who steals valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state in ?Inception?.
He also played Danny Archer - a diamond smuggler at the time of the civil war in ?Blood Diamond? for which he got an Oscar nomination. He also worked with Martin Scorsese on several films including the Oscar winner ?The Departed?.
