You could be forgiven for believing this is a rib, but apparently Leonardo DiCaprio – yes, THAT Leonardo DiCaprio – is such a fan of Star Wars (remember, he was in the running for the role of Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith) that he tried his very best to get his pal and co-star in Don’t Look Up Jonah Hill into the stories of the GFFA. As Hill explains, Leo failed.

Leonardo DiCaprio as Chewbacca

Jonah Hill is not a fan of “The Mandalorian” despite Leonardo DiCaprio’s best efforts to get his friend and frequent co-star hooked. Hill told W Magazine that he often does not watch science-fiction films and television series because “I used to have a rule: If it didn’t happen or it couldn’t happen, then I just wasn’t interested, because I would lose focus.” While making Adam McKay’s Netflix satire “Don’t Look Up,” DiCaprio got Hill to break his rule and give the Disney Plus “Star Wars” television series a try.

“Leo made me watch ‘The Mandalorian’ when we were making ‘Don’t Look Up,’ and it was like, Baby Yoda was so cute, but I just didn’t give a f*** because I didn’t know anything that it was about,” Hill said.
