He’s played an aviator, the head of the FBI, a New York stock broker and now, Leonardo DiCaprio is set to play a president.
The 39-year-old actor is reported to want to bring President Theodore Roosevelt to life on the big screen.
‘Leo is telling friends that after his latest movie proved to be a massive box office hit, he’s pushing forward with his biopic of Roosevelt which will re-team him with The Wolf of Wall Street director Martin Scorsese,’ a source revealed to RadarOnline on Saturday.
Scorcese and DiCaprio, who previously teamed up on The Aviator and The Wolf of Wall Street, had originally planned to do the movie years ago but the project fell through.
‘He says it’s “now or never” as he’s patiently waited almost a decade for the money to materialize,’ the insider told the website.
The flick is based on Edmund Morris’ Pulitzer prize winning biography The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and the movie will follow the famous figure from childhood to the presidency.
