Martin Scorsese has revealed Leonardo DiCaprio is his first choice to play Ol’ Blue Eyes in his upcoming biopic on Frank Sinatra. The Academy Award-winning director revealed he is in talks with DiCaprio and hopes he will play the American crooner in at least some portions of the film. DiCaprio has been a regular collaborator with Scorsese having worked with him on the upcoming thriller Shutter Island as well as Gangs Of New York, The Departed and The Aviator. The director has said the casting for the film will be difficult with different actors playing Frank Sinatra at different ages. “I think he can do it. I’m trying to talk him into it,” Scorsese said. “The issue would be you would have a younger Frank, then older Frank, then middle-aged Frank. It would go back and forwards in time.”

I hope Leo says yes, because he’d be perfect for this role! As one of the most brilliant actors, there’s simply no one better fitting  than him!
