156
that they know you're making movies mom and dad yes they know They know.
157
We moved the whole family out to L .A after living in Cedar Rapids.
158
And the way we moved out there...
159
Now, is Cedar Rapids C -R?
160
Oh, you just cut me off, aren't you?
161
I know.
162
But if Los Angeles is L .A., is Cedar Rapids C -R?
163
That's what I want to know.
164
I'm not really sure.
165
I'll get back to that one.
166
So, I was in modeling class, and my mom didn't know how to put me in...
167
Now, wait a minute.
168
Right there.
169
Let's go back there.
170
How does a kid get in modeling class?
171
She enrolled me mom did yes
172
but was this okay with you did you want to be in modeling class it wasn't a thing
173
that i had always dreamed of but it was i think especially for for men
174
or you know boys at my age right we're thinking modeling
175
wasn't you know always on the top ten some guys want
176
to be barry bonds some guys want to model that's just the way it goes yeah
177
and uh there's a convention out in la and i went to
178
that convention right and it was the first time out of cedar rapids
179
and uh there's a talent manager there and he asked me if I want to become an actor.
180
Wow.
181
It's worked out pretty well, hasn't it?
182
It sure has.
183
Now, I know we've had other, we've had Macaulay Culkin, who you worked with in The Bad Son, The Good Son?
184
The Good Son.
185
The Good Son, yeah.
186
And we talked to him about you have a special school that you go to.
187
You're not in a regular school, are you?
188
No. What kind of school are you in?
189
It's just like a tutoring thing.
190
But it's run by gypsies, right?
191
Well, you are something else.
192
I know, I don't know.
193
Hey, I'm drunk.
194
Leave me alone.
195
What do I know?
196
I don't know.
197
Okay.
198
Well, it's funny.
199
The school is just a tutor, and usually they run it out of a school, an actual public school.
200
In conjunction with a regular school.
201
Exactly.
202
Right.
203
And you just get the work and you do the schoolwork at your home.
204
Now, is this okay with you?
205
Do you feel like you're getting as good an education?
206
I actually think I'm getting better.
207
Really?
208
In what sense?
209
Because school is one -on -one and I think when you're in normal school you get
210
you get distracted by a lot of the kids
211
and this you know helps a lot how many hours a
212
day are you actually in school studying usually it's three
213
but now that i got this new tutor she's going to be tough
214
and give me six six now see six is about what normal school kids have to go through yes
215
but that counts a lunch break and a recess
216
and you know art and all that stuff all right
217
and what kind of grades do you get do they give
218
you grades are you getting pretty good grades uh straight a
219
student from the very time i was born now can you prove that
220
see now if you give me a math problem I'm not gonna be able to prove
221
that because I'm not good at math but
222
but I just want to make sure now
223
because this as you you may not know this now
224
but education is the future of this country nay the planet
225
I think you're right education is very important that's right
226
and uh well tell us a little bit about uh uh
227
Kevin Costner Kevin what was he to work with what was
228
that was that was fun it was a lot of fun um were you frightened of him
229
because he's like mr big time movie star director and
230
that kind of thing no i got over
231
that after i met him you know i got a little nervous
232
when i first met him but everything was cool
233
and i didn't really get to spend much time with him
234
because he did his thing i did my thing
235
but uh it was fun are you happy to be where
236
you are in life yes i'm very proud of myself
237

238

I was about, uh, six years old, seven years old.
427
You got an agent at six years old?
428
Well, I tried to get an agent, but I didn't succeed
429
because they wanted to change my name to uh lenny williams they thought my name was a little too ethnic
430
so they sort of dissected it and said hey leonardo lenny my middle name's wilhelm
431
so they changed
432
that to williams let's get back to your given name again
433
leonardo vilhelm dicaprio yeah wow that's a good one that's great thanks uh
434
and why is it that your folks selected an italian sounding name
435
and then a german sounding name and you're my mother's german my dad's italian There you go.
436
There's an answer for every story in this life.
437
All part of God's great plan, isn't it?
438
So, when you were six years old, how did you get into show business?
439
What were you...
440
You were just, like, going to school, and then one day you said, I want to be in show business.
441
Well, the first time was actually on TV.
442
I was on TV at about three years old.
443
Have you ever seen Romp A Room, that television show?
444
Are you kidding?
445
Try and keep me away from Romp A Room.
446
Well, it was my favorite show at the time, and I just absolutely loved the show, and I used to sing the songs at home and everything.
447
Let's hear one.
448
And, oh, God.
449
Come on.
450
It's too far away.
451
I can't remember.
452
Come on, Wilhelm.
453
Let's go, buddy.
454
So I went on Romper Room, right, and I was completely excited.
455
They had a little circle, and they were all singing and dancing and stuff like that, but I was too excited to be on camera, so I was running up and slapping the cameras and stuff like that and screaming and looking inside the camera.
456
I tried to pull my mom on stage, and finally, I was too much to handle, so they completely kicked me off the show.
457
You were 86.
458
You were tossed.
459
You were adiosed.
460
I was adiosed.
461
And were you crestfallen?
462
You must have been crushed when you got bounced off Romper Room.
463
No, no, no, no. I was, I saw myself on television.
464
I was just like completely, yeah, neurotic.
465
It was beautiful.
466
That happens to me almost every night right here.
467
Are you really that excited?
468
Yeah, I see what I see.
469
Oh my God!
470
I saw the film you did with Robert De Niro and Ellen Bark in This Boy's Life.
471
That, you know, that was a great, and I guess, and forgive me if this is the wrong term, but it was a small sort of film.
472
It wasn't a huge budget with chase scenes and space...
473
Well, no. It made about $8 million, I think.
474
But it was a very nice piece of work, is what I was trying to say, based on a book.
475
Oh, well, thank you.
476
And I thought that the interaction between you and De Niro was especially entertaining.
477
Thank you.
478
I mean, that was very interesting to watch.
479
Did you have a good relationship with him with the film?
480
I did.
481
Bobby De Niro was great.
482
Ah, you called him Bobby.
483
There you go.
484
Bobby and I, you know...
485
You're in show business now, pal.
486
Robert De Niro was great.
487
I remember a scene we were doing, actually, where he had his...
488
Did you see the Zippo scene, or he's trying to, like, impress my mom, played by Ellen Barkin.
489
And Ellen found this so hilarious every time.
490
He's got something he does with the lighter, so a little...
491
Yeah, he pops it open and, you know, does his whole, you know, thing.
492
And Ellen, as soon as she saw Robert De Niro do this, she'd start cracking up immediately.
493
And the whole set was in hysterics.
494
And towards, like, the 25th take, I got a little agitated because I was usually one that was, like, getting the laughs around set.
495
So I stand up and I go, you know, guys, can we be a little more professional here?
496
You know, you're laughing all the time.
497
You know, I got things to do.
498
I was a bit of a smartass.
499
So I was 16 years old, I learned my lesson.
500
And Bob takes me aside and he goes, you know, there's a certain line, you know, with jokes.
501
He goes, you know, you shouldn't cross that line because sometimes you can't get back.
502
That's right.
503
That's right.
504
So I sit there and I come back in my chair
505
and my heart is like down to my butt and I'm just sitting there.
506
Yeah. Did I mess up?
507
And to take - That's the reason you'll never be back on Romper Room.
508
It goes on your permanent record.
509
So, two takes later, he.. they nailed the scene, and I, uh, I never actually figured out
510
if he was really angry with me or if he wanted to just change the tempo.
511
I have a feeling it was a little of both.
512
But he forgave me for it, actually, at the end.
513
Good.
514
He took me out, and, uh, we had a bunch of pies and stuff.
515
What do you do?
516
Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio, Matt Berlin.
517
You know anything about bowling?
518
You ever done any bowling in your life?
519
No, I have bowling shoes, but I...
520
You have the bowling shoes, but you don't do any bowling, just
521
because you like how they make you look yeah it's cool
522
yeah have the size of your feet right there probably displayed on the back of your shoes
523
but this is a great story this is this is like
524
a uh a once -in -a -lifetime kind of store this
525
is a wonderful thing uh matt berlin is the man's name
526
from oswego new york he'll be out here a little bit later
527
and tanya tucker ladies
528
and gentlemen tanya tucker lovely talented country uh tell me about the you know you were talking about romper room
529
and how you were tossed off nearly arrested uh
530
and then what was like your first legitimate acting role as a kid did you want to be an actor
531
or did you folks just say here i wanted to be
532
an actor for a long time definitely my first dramatic real drama was on the new lassie
533
and i think we have a clip of that
534
but uh i remember that i i'm supposed to be the one that tells the people that we have the clips
535
how would you know anything about our clip inventory that's my responsibility i don't We have a clip.
536
I turn to the camera and I say, we got a clip, don't we?
537
Well, anyway, the funny thing about Lassie was that, uh...
538
We have a clip!
539
Lassie was actually a female dog.
540
Lassie's supposed to be a female dog.
541
Supposed to be a female, yeah, Lassie.
542
Lassie, Laddie.
543
Laddie would be the male, Lassie's the female.
544
Right.
545
So they had five different dogs that were all guys to do the tricks.
546
I guess that the male dogs...
547
We have five different paws.
548
Male dogs are smarter or something like that, right?
549
What did you say?
550
I don't know, I don't know what they're doing.
551
What are you doing?
552
The male dogs are smarter, is that what you said?
553
I don't know, supposedly, one was for the tricks, one was for the expressions, and this and that, right?
554
So they had a big pregnancy scene where Lassie was giving puppies, and I first realized how fake the business - That's hard for the guys.
555
We first realized how fake, I first realized how fake the whole business was
556
when they had to do the pregnancy scene because they had to tape over Lassie's, you know, with some.
557
You know, I know you're just a kid, but you.. possess a wisdom and a maturity indescribable here.
558
They had to tape over Lassie's special fur.
559
And I was - Hey, hey, hey, this ain't romper room, okay?
560
I was a little shocked.
561
Yeah, I was a little disappointed, so.
562
Disappointed, were you?
563
Yeah.
564
Gosh, what aspect of that did you find disappointing?
565
Well, I thought they'd use the real thing.
566
You know what I mean?
567
Hang on, hang on, hang on roll the clip roll the damn clip give me

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
