DICAPRIO INTERVIEW BRANDED A "FABRICATION"greenspun.com : LUSENET : TitanicShack : One Thread |
A widely reported article which quoted Leonardo DiCaprio as saying that kissing was "disgusting" and remarking that "the human mouth is one of the dirtiest places on this planet" was denounced as a complete fabrication by DiCaprio's spokesperson, Deborah Grimes, Friday. Grimes demanded that the British magazine Eva make a full retraction. Meanwhile, trade reports said today (Monday) that 20th Century Fox had landed rights to finance and distribute The Beach, to star DiCaprio and be directed by Danny Boyle. DiCaprio will reportedly receive $20 million, about half the film's budget.
