7. That's because it is Leo

who played the character named Rick Dalton in Tarantino's movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

The death announcement is a joke.

3. He was awesome in "Kill me now Ringo, said the Gringo".

And who can forget “The 14 Fists of McCluskey”?

Anybody order fried sauerkraut?

Rick Dalton, the actor best known for the 1960s television series Bounty Law and a string of Westerns shot in Italy, has died, according to the Hollywood podcast Video Archives. The performer, whose notoriety saw a boost after an encounter with his neighbor Roman Polanski and a bizarre home invasion led by deranged followers of a failed Ohio-born singer-songwriter, is survived by his wife Francesca. He was 90 years old.

Okay, okay, we’ll quit it now. Rick Dalton was not a real person, but the name of the character Leonardo DiCaprio played in the Oscar-nominated 2019 film Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood. But that doesn’t mean the man who created the story of a striving actor (and his stunt double best pal) caught up in late 60s California lore, Quentin Tarantino, isn’t allowed to have a bit of fun.
