In a recent interview, Leonardo DiCaprio revealed that his favorite Christopher Nolan film is not Inception, but the 2008 action classic The Dark Knight.
DiCaprio’s portrayal of the paranoid revolutionary Bob in One Battle After Another, while not a major box office success, has been a significant achievement for the Oscar winner. The role has positioned him as a strong contender for awards such as “Best Actor in a Leading Role” at the upcoming Academy Awards.
Given DiCaprio’s extensive work with top directors, his choices for favorite films are especially intriguing. When asked by Collider’s Steve Weintraub about his top Christopher Nolan film, DiCaprio avoided selecting Inception for reasons of fairness.
“The actual answer may surprise you, yet it is a completely valid one when you dig a little deeper.”
DiCaprio was joined by his One Battle After Another co-star Benicio del Toro during the interview, where both were asked about their top picks for different prestigious filmmakers.
Author’s summary: Leonardo DiCaprio’s admiration for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight highlights his appreciation for action-driven storytelling, even among his many collaborations with acclaimed directors.
