Then, when asked about his next big birthday, Leo continued, "Got to always think about 50. But you know what, I have a range of musical love that goes back to our stuff from the '20s, '30s, and '40s with jazz and blues and things of that nature. And then hip-hop, too."

In fact, his Killers of the Flower Moon costar, Lily Gladstone, chimed in to say that music was one of the things they first bonded over. "We talked about old jazz music, too," Leo added.
