He was asked, “Were you and Leo well behaved on that shoot?” To which he paused for a second and then responded, “Leo might have been”, and the crowd erupted into laughter with his answer. He then said, “I wasn’t.”

The moderator poked Depp about his relationship with Leonardo. The actor said, “I respect Leo a lot you know. He worked really hard. He did. He worked really hard on that film and spend a lot of time researching whatnot and stuff like that and then he came to set he was ready to work. He was ready to work hard and he was really, you know, all his ducks were in a row….and I tortured him.”

He concluded, “I really did, I actually did because he was always talking about these video games you know. [sic] And no, I will not give you a drag of my cigarette while you hide from your mother again Leo no.”

‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’ is a coming-of-age film that chronicles the life of a 25-year-old Gilbert (Depp), who is a grocery store clerk caring for his obese mother (Cates), and his intellectually disabled younger brother (DiCaprio).
