The Insider recently caught up with Inception star Leonardo DiCaprio.Leo plays a loving father in his upcoming role as Cobb in ‘Inception,’ and shares with The Insider his thoughts and comments on Fatherhood.

“I think that’s something that is instinctively innate in all of us,” he says of channeling his paternal character. “Caring for children and the love that a father would have for their own kids is something you can automatically understand.”

MTV’s Josh Horowitz caught up with Leonardo DiCaprio to talk about his latest film Inception. You can view the rest of the article here.

“I always wanted to do a Viking movie,” he said. “I’m a big history buff, and I don’t think there’s been a really fantastic Viking movie ever made. Those were some of the most barbaric people ever in history.”

I would actually argue that there have been some pretty good Viking-oriented examples in entertainment. There’s the Monty Python “Spam” sketch of course, and the 2010 CG animated release “How To Train Your Dragon.” Also, Nicholas Winding Refn’s June release “Valhalla Rising,” which I’ve heard is quite good. Which doesn’t mean there isn’t room for one more. DiCaprio will get his chance soon enough, as he is tentatively set to star in the next directorial effort from Mel Gibson, an as-yet-untitled Viking movie.

“I’d love to see Mel Gibson’s version of that,” he said. “Because certainly with ‘Apocalypto’ and some of the other films he’s made, he’s been able to transport me back in time unlike very many filmmakers have been able to.”

Leonardo DiCaprio was amazed when he finally saw his new movie ‘Inception’ because he had no idea what was going to happen in the film.

Leonardo DiCaprio has admitted he was surprised at the twists and turns in his new film ‘Inception’.

The actor plays Dom Cobb in the Christopher Nolan-directed blockbuster – the plot of which has been a closely-guarded secret – but admits he had no idea what happened in the film until he watched it.

He said: “I was in the movie and even when I watched it I didn’t know what was happening next.”

The 35-year-old star is still determined to keep the storyline under wraps as he feels it will heighten the cinematic experience for the audience.

He added: “Much of the appeal of this movie is going to be the surprise element and not knowing what to expect.

“I can’t wait for people to see it. I completely immersed myself in it so not talking about it in great detail before people see it is very refreshing.”

The movie co-stars Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
