When Leonardo DiCaprio first began his journey in Hollywood, success seemed to hinge on little more than attending glamorous premiere events and exuding charm. Even now, as he gracefully embraces 50, DiCaprio continues to captivate audiences, despite the rising ages of his romantic partners and his own self-proclaimed emotional maturity of 32. However, the landscape of film promotion has drastically transformed; in today’s era, one must amplify their enthusiasm across digital platforms. DiCaprio and director Paul Thomas Anderson have embodied this shift as they promote their latest offering, the dark-comedy thriller One Battle After Another.
This shift towards social media engagement isn’t solely a product of DiCaprio and Anderson’s commitment to the film; a host of co-stars are also bringing their A-game to the promotional effort. Teyana Taylor, whose explosive performance has already captured significant attention (Anderson notably commented on her abilities as “a valuable collaborator and a good hang” in a recent profile by GQ), made waves at the film’s London screening with a jaw-dropping display of abs alongside her boyfriend Aaron Pierre.
Meanwhile, Taylor’s co-star Sean Penn is making headlines not just for his acting, but for his candidness about joining the film. In an amusing revelation to Entertainment Weekly, he recounted, “I came out of a shower late one night… I thought, Okay, I’ll read just one page, and I started to read. I’m sitting there dripping naked on the floor reading a script until I drip-dried and finished it.” Quite the unconventional story, indeed!
Adding a fresh dynamic to the ensemble is 25-year-old Chase Infiniti, who portrays DiCaprio’s daughter Willa in One Battle After Another. Not only is she turning heads with her impressive fashion sense, but Infiniti is also becoming the unofficial social media ambassador. She’s adeptly using TikTok to provide followers with an insider’s look at what is shaping up to be a legendary press tour.
