Leonardo DiCaprio has won, perhaps the main role in his actor’s life — he will play the greatest artist and scientist of the Renaissance his namesake Leonardo Da Vinci. A long and hard battle for the film rights of the novel of the famous writer and author of biographical books of Walter Issaacson “Leonardo da Vinci” between the two largest Hollywood studios, Paramount and Universal ended. Right on haven’t even published novel managed to get the Studio and produce the film will be the production company of Leonardo DiCaprio The Appian Way.

The actor was literally born to play this role the greatest significance and fame of the historical character in his acting career. After all, mother, DiCaprio says that he decided to name the baby Leonardo is in that moment when she stood before the canvas of a great artist in the Uffizi gallery in Florence. The future actor first time pushed mom in her belly and she told my husband (he’s a painter), father of DiCaprio that called their son in honor of the great Italian masters. Parents soon divorced, but Leo inherited his father’s interest and love of art and collecting paintings by contemporary artists.

DiCaprio certainly hopes to get another Oscar if the movie happens. It is unknown who will be the Director, but 43-year-old actor as telling his friends, resides in the seventh heaven of happiness. Happy should be his favorite mother — known fact that the actor loves his mom and often takes her with him to social events as my companion.
