DiCaprio made his film debut later that year as the stepson of an unscrupulous landlord in the low-budget horror Critters 3 (1991), a role he later described as "your average, no-depth, standard kid with blond hair".[35] DiCaprio has stated that he prefers not to remember Critters 3, describing it as "possibly one of the worst films of all time", and citing it as the kind of role he wanted to ignore in the future.[36] Later in 1991, he became a recurring cast member of the sitcom Growing Pains, playing Luke Brower, a homeless boy who is taken in by a family.[37] Co-star Joanna Kerns recalls DiCaprio being "especially intelligent and disarming for his age" but she said that he was also mischievous and jocular on set and often made fun of his co-stars.[38] DiCaprio was cast by the producers to appeal to young female audiences but his arrival did not improve the show's ratings and he left before the end of its run, attributing his departure to bad writing.[39] He was nominated for a Young Artist Award for Best Young Actor Co-starring in a Television Series.[40] Also that year, DiCaprio played an un-credited role in one episode of Roseanne.[41] In 1992, DiCaprio played a brief role in the first installment of the Poison Ivy film series,[42] and later in the year Robert De Niro handpicked DiCaprio from a shortlist of 400 young actors to co-star with him in This Boy's Life. The film is a biopic on the relationship between the rebellious teenager Tobias "Toby" Wolff (DiCaprio) and his mother (Ellen Barkin) and abusive stepfather (De Niro).[20][43][44] Its director Michael Caton-Jones later said that DiCaprio did not know how to behave on set, leading Caton-Jones to apply a strict mentoring style, after which DiCaprio's behavior began to improve.[38] Bilge Ebiri of Rolling Stone found that the powerful bond between Barkin and DiCaprio elevated the film, praising DiCaprio's portrayal of the character's complex growth from a rebellious teenager to an independent young man.[42] DiCaprio played the intellectually disabled brother of Johnny Depp's character in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993), a comic-tragic odyssey of a dysfunctional Iowa family. According to director Lasse Hallström, Caton-Jones recommended DiCaprio to him, but he was initially skeptical, as he considered DiCaprio too good-looking for the part. Hallström cast DiCaprio after he emerged as "the most observant" auditionee.[35][38] The film became a critical success.[45] At 19, DiCaprio earned a National Board of Review Award, as well as nominations for a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, making him the seventh-youngest Oscar nominee in the category.[46][47] "The film's real show-stopping turn comes from Mr. DiCaprio", wrote The New York Times critic Janet Maslin, "who makes Arnie's many tics so startling and vivid that at first he is difficult to watch. The performance has a sharp, desperate intensity from beginning to end."[48] Caryn James, also writing for The New York Times, said of his performances in This Boy's Life and What's Eating Gilbert Grape: "He made the raw, emotional neediness of those boys completely natural and powerful."[49] DiCaprio's first effort of 1995 was in Sam Raimi's western film The Quick and the Dead, but Sony Pictures was dubious over DiCaprio's casting, and as a result, co-star Sharon Stone paid his salary herself.[50] The film was released to a dismal box office performance and mixed reviews from critics.[51][52] DiCaprio's next film in 1995 was The Basketball Diaries, a biopic, in which he played a teenage Jim Carroll as a drug-addicted high school basketball player and writer.[53] DiCaprio next starred alongside David Thewlis in Agnieszka Holland's erotic drama Total Eclipse, a fictionalized account of the homosexual relationship between Arthur Rimbaud (DiCaprio) and Paul Verlaine (Thewlis). He replaced River Phoenix, who died before filming began.[11] Although the film failed commercially,[54] it has been included in the catalogue of Warner Archive Collection, a home video division for releasing classic and cult films from Warner Bros.' library.[55] DiCaprio starred opposite Claire Danes in Baz Luhrmann's film Romeo + Juliet (1996), an abridged modernization of William Shakespeare's romantic tragedy of the same name, which retained the original Shakespearean dialogue. The project grossed $147 million worldwide, and earned DiCaprio a Silver Bear for Best Actor at the 1997 Berlin International Film Festival.[56][57] Reviewing his early works, David Thomson of The Guardian called DiCaprio "a revelation" in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, "very moving" in This Boy's Life, "suitably desperate" in The Basketball Diaries and "a vital spark" in Romeo + Juliet.[58] Later in 1996, DiCaprio starred in Marvin's Room, a family drama about two estranged sisters, played by Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton, who are reunited through tragedy. DiCaprio portrayed Hankâthe troubled son of Streep's characterâwho has been committed to a mental asylum.[59] Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly praised "the deeply gifted DiCaprio" for holding his own against the experienced actresses Keaton and Streep, describing the three as "full-bodied and so powerfully affecting that you're carried along on the pleasure of being in the presence of their extraordinary talent".[60] 1997â2001: Titanic and worldwide recognition "Leo-mania" redirects here. DiCaprio rejected a role in the film Boogie Nights (1997) to star opposite Kate Winslet in James Cameron's Titanic (1997) as members of different social classes who fall in love aboard RMS Titanic during its ill-fated maiden voyage.[61] DiCaprio initially had doubts about it, but was eventually encouraged to pursue the part by Cameron.[62] With a production budget of more than $200 million, the film was the most expensive at the time and was shot at Rosarito, Baja California where a replica of the ship was created.[63] Titanic became the highest-grossing film at the time, eventually earning more than $2.1 billion in box-office receipts worldwide.[a] The role of Jack Dawson transformed DiCaprio into a superstar, resulting in intense adoration among teenage girls and young women in general that became known as "Leo-mania",[66][67] comparable to Beatlemania in the 1960s.[66] The film won 11 Academy Awardsâthe most for any filmâincluding Best Picture, but DiCaprio's failure to gain a nomination led to a protest against the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) by more than 200 fans.[68][69] He was nominated for other high-profile awards, including a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.[46] DiCaprio stated in 2000: "I have no connection with me during that whole Titanic phenomenon and what my face became around the world [...] I'll never reach that state of popularity again, and I don't expect to. It's not something I'm going to try to achieve either."[70] In 2015, Ebiri called the role DiCaprio's best, writing that he and Winslet "infuse their earnest back-and-forth with so much genuine emotion that it's hard not to get swept up in their doomed love affair".[42] A journalist for Vanity Fair similarly labeled them in 2008 "Hollywood's most iconic screen couple" since Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.[71] Reviewing the film in 2017, Alissa Wilkinson of Vox took note of DiCaprio's "boyish charm" and found him "natural and unaffected" in his performance.[72] After the success of Titanic, DiCaprio reduced his workload "to learn to hear [his] own voice in choosing the roles" that he wanted to pursue.[73] DiCaprio played a role in a brief appearance in Woody Allen's caustic satire of the fame industry, Celebrity (1998), whom Ebiri labeled "the best thing in the film".[42][74] That year, he also starred in the dual roles of the villainous King Louis XIV and his secret, sympathetic twin brother Philippe in Randall Wallace's The Man in the Iron Mask, based on the namesake 1939 film.[75] The film received mixed to negative response,[76] but grossed $180 million against its budget of $35 million.[77][78] Entertainment Weekly critic Owen Gleiberman wrote that DiCaprio did not look old enough to play the part, but praised him as "a fluid and instinctive actor, with the face of a mischievous angel".[79] The Guardian's Alex von Tunzelmann was similarly impressed with his performance but found his talent wasted in the film.[80] Nevertheless, DiCaprio was awarded a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Screen Couple for both incarnations the following year.[81] In 1998, DiCaprio was cast in American Psycho (2000) for a reported salary of $20 million. After disagreements with Oliver Stone on the film's direction, DiCaprio left the project, taking the lead role in The Beach instead.[82] The latter, an adaption of Alex Garland's 1996 novel of the same name, saw him play an American backpacking tourist looking for the perfect way of life in a secret island commune in the Gulf of Thailand.[83] Budgeted at $50 million, the film earned about three times more at the box office,[84] but was negatively reviewed by critics, and earned him a nomination for the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor.[85][86] Todd McCarthy of Variety thought DiCaprio gave a compelling performance but his character lacked the uniqueness to make him dimensional.[87] In the mid-1990s, DiCaprio appeared in the mostly improvised black-and-white short film Don's Plum as a favor to aspiring director R. D. Robb.[20] When Robb expanded it to a full-length feature, DiCaprio and co-star Tobey Maguire had its release blocked in the US and Canada by court order, arguing they never intended to make it a theatrical release. The film premiered at the 2001 Berlin International Film Festival.[88] Dear Reader, As a former Goldman Sachs managing director, I feel itâs my duty to warn you about what may be coming sооn.

Editor, Distortion Report LeBron Raymone James Sr. is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA).Who has been taking the NBA by storm with his tenacity, athleticism, and competitive attitude? He is the current starting forward with the Lakers. He has cemented his way in the NBA by throwing some nasty dunks and getting some nice blocks with his amazing vertical, reminding people of a young Michael Jordan. He is known to be the best high school prospect since Kobe and a very strong comparison to Jordan. He is the only active player in the NBA to be a billionaire. Like he always says he is just,â A kid from Akron, Ohio.ââ No wonder he is called âKing James.â Early Life Lebron James played basketball for St. VincentâSt. Mary High School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, and was heavily touted by the national media as a future NBA superstar. A prep-to-pro, he was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft. Named the 2004 NBA Rookie of the Year. Lebron and his single mom who had him at 16 were in a lot of poverty and they kept shifting houses. His father, Anthony McClelland, has an extensive criminal record and was not involved in his life. His mom had a hard time finding a job so she let Lebron stay with the family of Frank Walker, a local youth football coach who introduced him to basketball when he was nine years old. NBA Journey Lebron was said to be the best high school prospect since Kobe, he was the number one overall pick in the 2003 draft. He along with Wade and Anothony formed a formidable friendship over the years. He made an almost immediate impact when he started playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. At the 2006 All-Star Game, James led the East to victory with 29 points and was named the NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player. Behind final season averages of 31.4 points, 7 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game, he also finished second in overall NBA Most Valuable Player Award voting to Steve Nash. Under James's leadership, the Cavaliers qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 1998. In his postseason debut, James recorded a triple-double in a winning effort versus the Washington Wizards. In Game 3 of the series, he made the first game-winning shot of his career, making another in Game 5. Cleveland would go on to defeat the Wizards before being ousted by the Detroit Pistons in the second round. Let's not forget he won Rookie of the year in his first year. He would stay in Cleveland till 2010, he was not supported well by his teammates all of them depended on him, basically, he did not have his â Robinâ as Michael did, this sprung up a lot of controversies that Lebron is not a leader and he doesn't know how to win a championship. A lot of talk about him is about how he's not clutch or not a team player and not a champion. Lebron wanted to prove his haters wrong and the chance arrived for him to switch sides he decided to move to South beach to Miami Heat and make a formidable team with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. While all this drama unfolded he was MVP of the league and a part of the defensive team as well. The Heat won back-to-back championships in 2012 and 2013. He was the finals MVP and MVP of the league during this time and proved everyone who ever doubted him wrong. He had promised a championship to his beloved hometown of Cleveland. He signed with the Cavs in 2014 which was welcomed by the Cavs fans, they also made a trade for Kevin Love from the Timberwolves and with Kyrie Irving, they formed an impressive trio. The 2016 Finals are the best Finals series I have personally watched. The Cavs down 3-1 in the series win the rest of the games and go on to win the finals. This Cavs team was the first team in history to make a comeback from 3-1 down in the finals. Lebron would eventually leave Cleveland again in his hunt for greatness he signs with the Los Angeles Lakers and there he would win his fourth championship in the 2020 season and still continues to strive for greatness. He is a four-time MVP, he won his first MVP in 2009 and went on to win in 2010,2012 and 2013. He was performing day in and day out and made sure that he was always looked at as one of the greatest of all time. He averaged 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.9 steals per game on 53 percent shooting in 2013. We know now that he is close to reaching the most number of points scored in NBA history. Doing all this at the age of 38 is just remarkable he has maintained his body so well. He is one of the few athletes who spend the most on their bodies. He has been a pioneer for the game of basketball and he has inspired generations of basketball players. He has been known for his off-the-court activism which honestly makes him even more deserving of the MVP. He has opened a school called the I Promise School in Akron Ohio which helps kids from weaker parts of society they also focus on after-school daycare and help children and parents in any way possible.
