  es­qui­re.com: The Mo­ment Leo­nar­do Di­Ca­prio Be­ca­me a Man   #

tom ju­n­od über leo­nar­do di ca­prio:

A few ye­ars ago, he was on a pla­ne. He was fly­ing to Rus­sia. He was due to meet with Vla­di­mir Pu­tin at a con­fe­rence Pu­tin or­ga­ni­zed to help save the Si­be­ri­an ti­ger. He's ta­ken the ti­ger as his cau­se. He was on a Del­ta flight to Mo­scow. He of­ten flies com­mer­cial, ac­cor­ding to fri­ends who say that, af­ter all, he's just a re­gu­lar guy. The flight had de­par­ted Ken­ne­dy and was al­re­a­dy out over the oce­an. He was loo­king out the win­dow when he saw one of the en­gi­nes ex­plo­de.

  es­qui­re.com: A Life So Lar­ge   #

tom ju­n­od über brad pitt:

He does not call hims­elf an ac­tor. On forms, he lists his oc­cu­pa­ti­on as self-em­ploy­ed. "I lear­ned that from Bruce Palt­row," he says, re­fer­ring to the fa­ther of his first fa­mous girl­fri­end. "I al­ways lik­ed it. It's a hum­ble way to de­scri­be what we do." And if a stran­ger on a pla­ne were to ask what he does for a li­ving, he would say, "Well, I'd be very Mid­west about it, very Mis­sou­ri. I'd say, This and that. I'd say, I'm a dad, just like you."

His ans­wer shows how hard he tri­es not to be an ass­ho­le and how hard it is for a per­son as fa­mous as he is not to sound like one. In fact, he he­si­ta­tes to iden­ti­fy hims­elf as an ac­tor not for re­asons of hu­mi­li­ty. He he­si­ta­tes to iden­ti­fy hims­elf as an ac­tor be­cau­se he con­siders hims­elf pri­ma­ri­ly an ar­tist, a doer, a ma­ker, a craft­sman, a man who felt the first thrill of ar­ti­fice not ons­ta­ge but in high school shop class, dra­wing up plans. He he­si­ta­tes to iden­ti­fy hims­elf as an ac­tor be­cau­se he is for­th­right­ly in­te­res­ted in lea­ving a le­ga­cy much lar­ger than the le­ga­cy of his per­for­man­ces, which, ho­we­ver meaningful, are sim­ply not as con­cre­te as hou­ses and chairs and wine or as end­less­ly real as child­ren. He li­kes the idea of be­ing so­me­thing more than an ac­tor and he li­kes the idea of be­ing so­me­thing less than an ac­tor.

tom ju­n­od über ge­or­ge cloo­ney:

He is the pre­si­dent of a club of fa­mous peo­p­le he does­n't con­sider ass­ho­les, and he con­ve­nes it every time he makes a mo­vie. He has made mo­vies with Brad Pitt, Matt Da­mon, Bill Mur­ray, John Good­man, Don Chead­le, Ju­lia Ro­berts, and Cate Blan­chett. He has never been in a mo­vie with Leo­nar­do Di­Ca­prio or Rus­sell Cro­we.

sa­scha pal­len­berg anno 2011:

Es kom­men in­zwi­schen die ers­ten Stim­men auf, dass ich ja sel­ber z.B. Ama­zon-Links auf mei­ner Sei­te nut­ze. Na klar ma­che ich das und es ist eine wich­ti­ge Ein­nah­me­quel­le fuer mich. Der Un­ter­schied ist, die­se Links sind ent­spre­chend als Ama­zon-Links ge­kenn­zeich­net und ich be­nut­ze die­se Art Wer­bung sehr pro-ak­tiv, sprich ich wei­se ex­pli­zit dar­auf hin. Nach dem Mot­to: Kauft über un­se­re Links und un­ter­stützt uns. Ich wür­de mir wün­schen, wenn Me­di­en ge­ne­rell an­ge­ben müss­ten, wer sie un­ter­stützt. So­weit ich weiss, ist dies für Blog­ger in den USA seit fast 2 Jah­ren ver­pflich­tend.

den link, den sa­scha pal­len­berg auf face­book ge­pos­tet hat um re­fe­ral-wer­bung für on­ly­co­in.com zu ma­chen (wo­mit er ma­xi­mal $50 ver­die­nen könn­te), hat er je­doch nicht „pro­ak­tiv“ oder „ex­pli­zit“ ge­kenn­zeich­net. aber viel­leicht ist der re­fe­ral-code ja gar nicht von ihm, son­dern von je­mand an­ders. zum bei­spiel ei­nem be­dürf­ti­gen hipps­ter.
