I want to interview leading Hollywood actor, Leonardo Di Caprio for my blog. How can I get the message to him?

Does anyone know him? LOL

    No, Jamie, I don't know him. But somebody does.

    This might be the time to get on LinkedIn, FB, Twitter, etc. and start playing "Six Degrees of Separation"...

      Haha, that's what I was thinking. I wonder if he'll like to answer a few stuff about lucid dreams. Maybe by the time my website is popular I will have found someone who knows him.

        What if you interviewed him from within a lucid dream? Or even cooler, by Inception? I kid lol, 6 degrees of separation might be the best way to go, or maybe try for his publicist to set something up?

    Linked In and Twitter are good suggestions.

    You might also want to see if you can track down his agent. I don't know personally how to track down an actor's agent, but it probably is not that hard to do.

      You can start by contacting the media relations people at the studio or production company for the actor's last project.

      Also, a search through the trades might yield a mention.

        I tried to contact Brandon Boyd through his media agent. No luck. I'll give it a try and see.

    Maybe his agent has a Google alert set up for his name.

      Maybe, but I would not take a passive approach to tracking him down if I were in your shoes.

    I don't know if this helps at all but it might give you some ideas, maybe?

    I know about a guy on YouTube(his channel - fouseytube) who wanted to get on the Ellens show superbad. Then Ellen's dancedare fad came out. He did that video and basically asked his followers to keep retweeting the video to get her attention. It worked and he was on her show a few months ago.

    Another guy (shaytards) wanted to be on the Ellens show as well, but, instead, ended up being on the Anderson Cooper's. Again, thanks to his loyal subscribers.

    Social media is very powerful. If you have a loyal following, anything can happen.
