“It was a marvelous screenplay. Furthermore, a short time later it’s [the question of] who on earth could play James Dean? Moreover, I found a chap who could play James Dean, yet he was unnecessarily energetic. It was Leo,” Mann explored. “We did a screen test that is exceptionally surprising.”

DiCaprio was 19 – – only five years more young than Dean when he passed on at 24 in a blasting minor collision in September 1955 – – but simultaneously had a blameless and vigorous look – – by and large.

“From one point, he totally had it with him. With everything taken into account, it’s quality. He would turn his face in one course and we see a fantasy of James Dean,” Mann evaluated of DiCaprio’s screen test. “Then, he’d turn his face another bearing and it’s no, that is a little kid.”

Mann said he felt DiCaprio would be absolutely obviously appropriate for the endeavor in three years’ time, but Mann finished up he expected to progress forward toward a substitute assignment since he couldn’t imagine shooting the Dean biopic without DiCaprio.

“He, respectfully, fixed the James Dean bio for me,” Mann got a handle on.

While the James Dean biopic didn’t work out, DiCaprio continued to star in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet in 1996 and transformed into a handily perceived name with his presentation in 1997’s Titanic.

DiCaprio never continued to manage any of Mann’s films later on, disregarding the way that Mann filled in as a producer on 2004’s The Aviator, which obtained DiCaprio an Oscar assignment.
