The Aviator
Leonardo DiCaprio always delves into the details when preparing for a role. Thus, for the portrayal of Howard Hughes in The Aviator, the actor delved into his tics, rituals and many other obsessions. We know from some other roles that he use a technique called “method acting” (a way or technique of acting in which the actor uses his own experiences to portray a character as truthfully as possible. The actor uses his own memories and emotions, ed.). This even earned him an Oscar for his role in The Revenant.
In The Aviator, however, Leonardo overlooked one small detail in preparation. In one of the scenes, he asks an assistant to bring him exactly ten chocolate chip cookies. But that’s not possible at all! After all, chocolate chip cookies were invented in 1938 and the film is set in 1928, ten years before that time. Well, we too can hardly imagine life without chocolate chip cookies, but it really was reality.
