We are getting a first look at superstar Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie Killers of the Flower Moon, which is being filmed right now in Oklahoma.
DiCaprio shared the photo on his Instagram account Monday, with a caption, “First look at Killers of the Flower Moon.”
In the photo, actors DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone share an Osage meal. DiCaprio plays Ernest Burkhart, and Gladstone plays Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman who falls in love with Ernest. The scene takes place in Grayhorse, Oklahoma, in 1919 and is early in their relationship after Mollie invites him in for a meal and they form a bond.
The NY Post had a very unique take on the photo, giving their article on the photo the following headline: “Leonardo DiCaprio unrecognizable in first photos of new Scorsese film.”
As you can see by the photo above, that is Leonardo DiCaprio. It is pretty easy to determine that Leonardo DiCaprio is featured in that photo, as Leonardo DiCaprio looks just like Leonardo DiCaprio.
Twitter correctly called out the NY Post on their bizarre headline. Here are a few of the best comments:
Completely unrecognizable. I can’t tell if Leo is the woman on the left or the one who looks exactly like Leonardo DiCaprio. https://t.co/w54gEHgM4q

Not sure if I'm comfortable with Leonardo DiCaprio playing a Native woman https://t.co/XKZToHkgGA

the only way Leo is "unrecognizable" in this photo is if he's playing the woman, the bowl, or the salt shaker. https://t.co/u76zVcumO3

Killers of the Flower Moon, which is based on David Grann’s best-selling book, stars Oscar winners Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro as well as Jesse Plemons. The movie is set in 1920s Oklahoma and depicts the serial murder of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of brutal crimes that came to be known as the Reign of Terror.
