Scorsese has worked with DiCaprio on six movies.
At the National Board of Review Gala in New York City on January 11, Scorsese accepted the awards for Best Picture and Best Director. He said that DiCaprio is most definitely an all-timer
“He couldn’t make it here tonight for a really good reason … He’s right in the center doing prep for Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film. Originally, Bob De Niro told me about Leo DiCaprio when he worked with him in ‘This Boy’s Life.’ He said, ‘You gotta work with this kid one day.’ And at that time, De Niro never really recommended anyone to me. So in 23 years, we made six pictures together now… I have faith in him. I know I can depend on him. His immersion in the process of the person who’s trying to play within the story is full. His fearlessness is something which has given me life when I make a film,” Scorsese said.
I really know he’s one of the truly one of the greatest actors in the history of movies. I thank him for everything.
DiCaprio has been Oscar-nominated six times, and he’s won once (“The Revenant” in 2016).
