DiCAPRIO LEARNED SOUTH AFRICAN DIALECT IN BOOZY SESSIONS
LEONARDO DiCAPRIO mastered the South African slang for his new film BLOOD DIAMOND by spending boozy nights with locals in neighbouring Mozambique.
The movie star has won acclaim for his accent in the new movie, which is earning him Oscar buzz, and he admits he achieved it by getting South African pals drunk.
He explains, "It was a matter of going there at least a month beforehand and spending a lot of time with South African mercenaries, getting to know their sort of alien language and picking up their slang and it’s literally on the other side of the world, so it took awhile but thank God I had a lot of people that helped me out.
"I also started hanging out with the South African dudes to get the slang down, which is why you’ve got to get them drunk and then they really start cursing and telling you the stories and speaking in their correct tongue."
