Leonardo DiCaprio has admitted that he was initially confused when he read the script for Inception.
The actor said that he needed hours of time with director Christopher Nolan to resolve some of the film’s more baffling issues and to develop his character Dominic Cobb.
DiCaprio told The Hollywood Reporter: “I needed to know implicitly where we were. It got incredibly confusing at certain points in the beginning, but the more we talked, the more I understood.”
Producer Emma Thomas – Nolan’s wife – added: “The work [Leo] did on his character with Chris made the movie less of a puzzle and more of a story of a character audiences could relate to.”
DiCaprio previously confessed that the cast and crew had to do “a ton of detective work” when filming Inception in order to to figure out the movie’s plot.
