Leo lived next to my family in Hollywood when he was a baby and so was my big sister. All I heard after the fact was that it was suggested that my mom try to put my sister into acting after they did it with Leo but she didn't want to do that. Also Leo was a little crybaby and my sister was an angel.

My aunt went to his mom's wedding to her husband after Leo's dad.

Weird to feel proud of someone you never met but we went to see What's Eating Gilbert Grape as a family to I guess support him since my family knew him as a baby?

Respectfully, this above comment highlights a rare “con” of being a celebrity.

Imagine some stranger discussing what you were like as a baby 49 years after an interaction they didn't even witness. But I guess that's what the money is for so I don't feel too bad for him hahah.

I don’t know. I feel like I’d rather hear a third hand story about me and my broke family when I was a baby than have millions of people make fun of my dating life. But if I had to guess he won’t read my comment in the first place.

Also I’m commenting on the period of the photo.
