Speaking on the subject, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’s director, Quentin Tarantino, was all praises for Leonardo DiCaprio for being selective about his choices regarding the projects he takes up. One thing Quentin likes about Leonardo is that he just doesn’t plug himself into two movies a year, said the director. He said that Leonardo kind of stands alone today, like Al Pacino or Robert De Niro were in the ‘70s, where they weren't trying to do two movies a year. They could do anything they wanted, and they wanted to do this. So that means this must be pretty good, added Quentin Tarantino.
