Leonardo DiCaprio is very interested in the lead role in the biopic on Frank Sinatra which Martin Scorsese is working on. In fact, the actor is already taking voice training classes to acquire the voice playing the Voice would require. "Leo has hired a top vocal coach to get him sounding like Sinatra. He is a massive fan of the singer and has always wanted to play him. He would be sick to miss out on the leading role," reports a source to the British newspaper The Sun.
DiCaprio certainly has a good chance of getting the part, not only for his physical resemblance to Sinatra, but also because he is one of Scorseses favourite actors. Theyve already worked together on Gangs of New York , The Aviator and the Oscar-winning The Departed.
However, Di Caprio is competing against film industry heavyweights like George Clooney and Justin Timberlake.
