DiCaprio vs. Dicaprio
Nov-2002

With two films about to hit the big screen, Leonardo DiCaprio is popping up everywhere.

Leo joined director Martin Scorsese in Japan for the premiere of the long awaited "Gangs of New York," co-starring Cameron Diaz. And if working with one of Hollywood’s hottest directors wasn't exciting enough, how's this for a dream team? Friday, Nov 22, on ABC’s "20/20," Barbara Walters goes three-on-one with Leo, Tom Hanks, and Steven Spielberg, the trio behind DiCaprio's other film, "Catch Me If You Can." It’s the true story of the youngest con kid ever to make the FBI's Most Wanted List.

About his supporting role in the film, Hanks says, "I'm a selfish man. I thought it was a house on fire, a strong role the type of which I’d never played before."

DiCaprio admits he actually admires his conman character. He says, "He wouldn’t go into the mom and pop store and rob the guy that you know made $15,000 a year. And that to me is a hero."

Over the holiday season Leo's fans will have no trouble catching their hero on the big screen.
