In “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape,” the coming-of-age drama directed by Lasse Hallström, Depp plays a grocery store clerk who cares for his family, including his disabled younger brother Arnie (DiCaprio). The film also stars Juliette Lewis, Mary Steenburgen, John C. Reilly and Darlene Cates.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape, based on a 1991 novel by Peter Hedges, was well received and earned 19-year-old Leonardo his first Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations for his portrayal as Arnie. "There was a bitter tea there," Corey acknowledged. "But that said, you don't hang on those, you get past 'em."
