For those of us who used to plaster our bedroom walls with Leo posters, this weekend’s The Great Gatsby is a sad reminder that we’re now past our poster-hanging prime, but it’s also a happy reminder that Leonardo DiCaprio’s face is still quite special. (Say what you will about how it’s getting wider with age — we’re not listening.) So special, in fact, that we were compelled to rewatch a bunch of Leo movies and make a series of Tiger Beat collages displaying his six most common acting tics — five faces and one very sturdy finger.
