Baz Luhrmann calls Leonardo DiCaprio the ‘most giving’ actor he has ever worked with… after they collaborated on Romeo + Juliet and The Great Gatsby
Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann has opened up about his special relationship with Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Elvis director described DiCaprio as the world’s greatest ‘gift giver’, revealing the actor recently attended his 60th birthday party.
‘Leonardo is really thoughtful,’ Luhrmann told the I’ve Got News for You podcast.

The Moulin Rouge! visionary said DiCaprio, 47, is the sort of person who goes out of his way to find the perfect gift for someone, and takes pleasure in the effort.
While working together on The Great Gatsby in 2011, DiCaprio discovered that Luhrmann likes to drink tea from China cups on set.
So for his 50th birthday, he gave the director a very special surprise present.
DiCaprio, who first collaborated with Luhrmann on 1996’s Romeo + Juliet, sourced ‘incredible teacups from all around the world, from different periods’ for his friend.

‘I remember opening the case and thinking how thoughtful and how much effort he went to just find something that was meaningful,’ he told the podcast.
Luhrmann also spoke of meeting DiCaprio for the first time when he was just 19 and they were working on Romeo + Juliet.
‘I met his mum and dad; they’re [now] like family,’ he said.
Elsewhere in the interview, Luhrmann revealed the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star has a cheeky sense of humour, and is able to impersonate anyone perfectly.

‘There was a funny moment when I first met him,’ Luhrmann recounted.
DiCaprio was impersonating all sorts of well-known actors, including Robert de Niro, then he launched into an Australian accent Luhrmann did not recognise.
‘I couldn’t work out who it was… I thought, “Hmmm, I don’t get that one.” And then I realised it was me!’ he said.
