for all your moms out there watching
this is going to get you we learned that
one of the greatest loves of Leo's life
is his mother
Erma Linda Kathy
[Applause]
now had UI any idea that your son was
going to grow up to be the Leonardo
DiCaprio no I had no idea at all what
were your hopes for him when he was when
he was a boy
well he wouldn't he would argue with me
I would tell him he should be an
attorney so he we can make some money
arguing I remember and then he liked art
so I thought perhaps an artist and since
his name was Leonardo DiCaprio I thought
there wasn't he why was he named
Leonardo I think this is I was inspired
by the name of Leonardo da Vinci when I
saw when I visited Italy yes and I
thought it sounded very smooth was he
always getting into trouble growing up
he was hurt he was great I was just
wondering if your um
looking forward to starting a family
getting married having a wife and kids
you know wait since that guy had answer
that I will right now no not not this
particular moment right now I'm just too
happy doing what I'm doing it but you
know that's all in the future Ellen
Smith I liked your question this is good
where are you okay
okay what is it who is your favorite hmm
oh boy oh there's gonna be some mad
actresses offenses I'm just gonna go
with you know Kate Winslet good old
classic
[Applause]
[Music]
more times than anyone could ever
imagine a lot of times kate winslet was
here for the making of titanic and she
told us the truths about working with
Leonardo this is what she's truth huh
yeah
Leo and I always had a laugh together we
always got on incredibly well and they
meet with seven months yeah absolutely
and you know I was I was like you know
probably all the women in this audience
are about Leonardo DiCaprio initially I
thought oh how am I gonna work with this
beautiful man I'm such a brilliant actor
and I met him and he's so honestly he's
so lovely and down-to-earth and normal
and so good at what he does but it was
net it was actually never about that it
was a real brother-sister thing we were
very very very close and really stuck
together true or false you almost died
while skydiving correct yes why were you
skydiving I don't know I'll never do it
again
I'll tell you that I don't I do not
recommend skydiving to anyone because
there's something fundamentally wrong
about looking out of a plane and being
thousands of feet in the air and saying
okay
I'm gonna hurl myself out and fall and
plummet to the earth what happened it
was a tandem dive I'll make the story
short but it was a tandem dive and I
pulled the cord I looked and the chute
was going like this whoa
and I heard the I go oh blank oh blank
you know I I was like what you know is
like you know it's all tied up so he cut
the cord we started plumbing the earth I
had one of those you know flashes photo
you know eight-by-ten glossies of my
life in front of my eyes you know two
years old eight years old you know 10
did that really happen really happen no
then I didn't know there was a second
shoot cold the second shoot that was
clumped up as well so then I said oh wow
now I'm really going to die do you have
time to think yeah you have those
moments it's going oh god well why do I
have to die today
for all your moms out there watching
this is going to get you this is gonna
get you this is gonna get you we learned
that one of the greatest loves of Leo's
life is his mother
out there this phrase is very frequently
used conversationally to mean anywhere
outside in a place where the speaker is
not example you should go out there and
learn from experience rather than being
a bookworm this is gonna get you get is
used in this sentence means that
something is going to cause an emotional
reaction on you in this case mothers
will appreciate knowing this fact about
Leo now had you I any idea that your son
now had you I any idea that your son was
going to grow up to be the Leonardo
DiCaprio the plus name in general in
English you should not use articles with
names but we can use the with one's name
to emphasize their specialness or fame
example weight your sister met the Brad
Pitt
well he wouldn't you would argue with me
I would tell him he should be an
attorney wood wood is used in many
different ways and a frequent one is in
the sentence he would argue with me I
would tell him he should be an attorney
you probably know we used wood for the
conditional tense however here it's used
to talk about something that always or
often happened in the past or in other
words a routine action in the past
example when I was a kid my grandma
always would tell me to eat all my
vegetables example I remember my brother
and I would walk long distances every
day to school
all right so real life or can you use
wood to talk about a past routine why
don't you take a moment to pause comment
with an example down below and we will
actually be correcting many of your
responses all right have you done that
let's get back into the lesson argue to
disagree or fight by using angry words
example they were arguing about which
movie to watch I was inspired by the
name of Bernardo da Vinci and I thought
it's only first
it sounded very smooth literally
something that smooth has an even
service like a pool table what she means
by Leonardo's name sounds smooth is that
it's a name with a pleasant sound or
music to it was he always getting into
trouble was he always getting into
trouble get into trouble to get involved
in a difficult or threatening situation
especially by doing something illegal or
prohibited example he got into trouble
with the police I was just wondering if
you're looking forward to starting a
family getting married having a wife and
kids you know wait and look forward to
if you look forward to something or
doing something you are anticipating
that example I'm really looking forward
to the next season of Game of Thrones
can't wait white picket fence a picket
fence is a wooden usually painted white
fence that separates the house from the
sidewalk but more than just an object
it's a strong symbol of an American
middle-class suburban life of a standard
family also known as the American dream
right now I'm just too happy doing what
I'm doing leading lady and actors in a
movie who has a leading role mad
actresses on fences mad a colloquial
word for angry example I don't know why
he's mad at me Kate Winslet good old
classic good old classic we say good old
or good ol for something reliable
example all I need to feel happy is my
favorite music and this good old journal
if something is classic it means that
it's timeless that is old but still a
great option example the Beatles music
will always be classic a lot of times a
lot of times a lot of times me oh and I
always had a laugh together we always
got on incredibly well get on well with
someone to have a friendly relationship
with someone this is a phrasal verb from
British English and it's American
English equivalent is get along with
someone example I get on well with my
mother-in-law oh how am I gonna what
with this beautiful man
brilliant although the meaning of this
word is very intelligent or genius and
British slang it is like the equivalent
of Awesome and American English example
that movie was brilliant
I could go watch it again tomorrow and I
met him and he's so honestly he's so
lovely and down-to-earth and normal
down-to-earth if someone is
down-to-earth they concern themselves
with practical things and are
level-headed example she's sophisticated
but also down-to-earth and we were very
very very close and really stuck
together stick together if people stick
together they support and help each
other example it's the more we stick
together during these difficult times to
foster you almost died while skydiving
to skydive the sport of jumping from an
airplane of falling through the sky
before opening a parachute okay I'm
gonna hurl myself out and fall and
plummet to the earth hurl to throw
something with force example they hurl
the rock through the window plummet to
fall sharply or quickly from a high
place this verb is commonly used both
literally for example the Eagle
plummeted down towards his prey and
figuratively for example sales plummeted
this month it was a tandem dive tandem
dive
most commonly referred to as tandem
skydiving this is a type of skydiving
where someone with little or no
experience can freefall with the help of
a professional in this type of jump that
amateur skydiver is attached to the
instructor who's in charge of deploying
the parachute and I pulled the cord I
looked and the chute was going like this
chute short for parachute which is a
large piece of material used when
skydiving to slow one's fall I had one
of those you know flashes photo you know
eight-by-ten glossies of my life and
fertilise eight-by-ten glossies of my
life glossy means shiny so it refers to
the fact that photos are usually shiny
and the size of a photograph might often
be 8 by 10 inches here he is referring
to the phenomenon that many explain
happens in near-death experiences where
one's life flashes before their eyes
then I didn't know there was a second
shoe pulled the second shoot that was
clumped up as well clump up to form a
clump which is a small ball or massive
