The BBC’s Breakfast News on Tuesday featured Leonardo DiCaprio, discussing his role in Revolutionary Road.
Wasn’t it disconcerting, the interviewer asked, to be playing Kate Winslet’s husband, when her real-life spouse (director Sam Mendes) was standing close by?
“No,” replied DiCaprio. “I take direction very well.” He paused, then smiled and continued: “Take the spanking scene, for example. I’d put Kate over my knee, and had given her two fairly light swats. Sam told me that he spanks her much harder at home, on the bare. So down came her panties – and she wasn’t sitting comfortably for the rest of the day, I can tell you.”
(I may have imagined some of the conversation).
Please tell me you didn’t make up the bit about there actually *being* a spanking scene in the film?! Pretty please?
Eliane wanders off dreaming about being spanked by Leo di Caprio…
“(I may have imagined some of the conversation).”
Don’t tell me BBC Compliance rules are spreading into the blogasphere; takes the fun out of everything these days!
Leo di Caprio? Naw, I’ll hold out for Obama.
I agree with Elaine!
You really must clarify, Abel, because if I have to take the time to go find Revolutionary Road and watch it all the way through for nothing…!
\attmepts to make a toppish threatening face\
Indy, I wouldn’t say no to Obama either, but what’s wrong with a girl having some choice? “Not today Leo, I’m seeing El Pres.”
OK,I confess. He did talk about taking direction well. But there isn’t a spanking. Which, of course, is a real shame…!
There isn’t a spanking…??! Abel, you are *so* mean. Getting our hopes up there. Fine, I’ll just have to do the Leo fantasising on my own.
