Leonardo DiCaprio admits Shutter Island was tough
Posted By Taly on February 6th, 2010
Leonardo DiCaprio has revealed how tough his newest character was to play.
The three-time Oscar nominee takes on the lead role in Martin Scorsese’s new film Shutter Island – a haunting psychological thriller.
The 35-year-old said: “It was a pretty powerful experience, like a giant jigsaw puzzle.”
It is the story of Teddy Daniels, a war veteran and US Marshal who is sent to investigate the disappearance from a mental ward of a patient convicted of murder.
DiCaprio’s co-star Sir Ben Kingsley was impressed by his efforts: “What Leo does in this film is extremely dangerous. He pushes himself into areas of extreme grief and disturbance.”
It is the fourth time Leo has worked with legendary director Scorsese and the actor admits they are great friends.
“There’s a trust level that happens between an actor and a director over time, where if they have done enough movies together, they have had enough experience together – they know they share the same taste,” he said.
Shutter Island is released in the UK on March 12.
