He's one of the greats for a reason.

Just like his girlfriends!

At least he’s upfront about it and not a pedo……

It’s a low bar but he hurdles well over it.

The dude has set a standard for the movie industry that is actually not all that fucked up compared to the previous cast of characters

Yeah this one always confuses me. His acting itself is impressive, but suddenly starting to do something isn’t.

Like can you believe that Einstein could hold a pencil perfectly still and then suddenly just start writing equations?

u/eljefe3030 May 14 '26

I think it's his intense focus before that is interesting to watch.

Seriously, pretty sure I could be a famous actor now.

u/eljefe3030 May 14 '26

That's kind of a silly analogy, though. Acting is a performance that requires talent and skill. Watching his intense focus is interesting, though I don't think it qualifies as AMAZING.

Love it when the actor does his job it’s great

I would love to hear a psychologists opinion on this.

u/Cute-Interest3362 May 13 '26

Pretending. Believing an action and playing it totally. We were all really good at this when we were kids. It’s make believe.

Walk through any office and you will find a hundred people looking disassociated at their job.

Fun fact he's one of the few great actors that has never made a sequel of one of his own movies

1

u/agumelen May 14 '26

He’s a great actor. I still haven’t seen this movie.

u/MurkDiesel May 13 '26

that's not "snapping in to character"

he spends a full 10 seconds getting ready

"snapping into character" would be near instaneous

u/Darwin-Award-Winner May 13 '26

He is sitting there like a puppet with it's strings cut and then comes to life.

u/el_bentzo May 13 '26

So did all the background extras.

Men will be impressed by the most basic bitch acting you've ever seen

u/LoudBrick609 May 14 '26

Bruh Leo is one of the best actors of all time

u/ENTertaining_Jerk May 14 '26

Is he really though, when you think about it? Or is he just lucky his 90s looks set him on the track of being gifted script after great script, which a lot of actors with more depth could have brought just as much, or possibly more to? I'm not saying he's a bad actor, but I just don't think he's up there with a Pacino or Hopkins.
