poor Vitoria, must be hard

 

[Simera]

Is he literally doing the same (ish) pose in 6 photos?

Poor Vittoria indeed!

 

[WAVES]

I don’t think that’s exactly how he looks right now but despite being a harmless photoshop, he looks good.

 

[KoV]

He has the head and face of someone twice his size, and these photos just amplify rather than combat it. Talented directors aren't always talented photographers. I like Leo as an actor, but don't know if I've ever seen him show up looking notably good in a shoot or on the red carpet - at least not for several years. I guess that's very Serious Actor™ of him to put in minimal effort.

Is he literally doing the same (ish) pose in 6 photos?

Poor Vittoria indeed!

This story could have been maybe three images max. It’s literally the same picture and pose throughout but it’s a famous director “photographing” him so that means they use all images despite that fact. Esquire hasn’t felt modern since the 2000s and same with Leo a sex symbol.

 

[mepps]

I actually love the cover shot. The rest they could have flushed. He's giving nothing, and they're repetitive.

 

[Lola701]

He is very much fascinating as an actor and individual. Beyond looks…

 

[tigerrouge]

Leo also seems to be on the cover of the new Autumn issue of UK Esquire, there's an issue for sale on eBay showing the cover as a reprint of the first b/w shot in the series above.

 

[Bertrando3]

Wow lol it's either a Photoshop disaster or a major abuse of fillers my gosh, if his name was not there I would have said ''oh this man reminds me a bit of Leo''. The editorial is also very boring.

 

[MModa]

The photographs are not of my liking but with US Esquire's art direction, I am sure they are edited and will somehow work.

 

[justaguy]

Zero effort put into this.
