Leonardo DiCaprio Attends 'One Battle After Another' Premiere LA

Leonardo DiCaprio recently premiered the film "One Battle After Another," directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, marking their first collaboration. DiCaprio expressed long-standing admiration for Anderson, calling him a unique and interesting filmmaker and stating he would have accepted any project Anderson proposed. The movie features DiCaprio as Bob Ferguson, a former revolutionary facing the resurfacing of an old rival and the kidnapping of his daughter, with DiCaprio drawing inspiration for the role from Jeff Bridges' character in "The Big Lebowski." DiCaprio described the film as a complex, multi-layered art house spectacle with many surprises and emphasized the physical challenges, noting Anderson's directing style involves embracing failure. At the premiere, DiCaprio reflected on his biggest career regret of passing on a previous Anderson film role and shared his excitement about working with the director on a deeply personal project. The film, also starring Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro, is set to release on September 26, 2025.
