Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood are on the set of Clint’s latest film J. Edgar in Los Angeles. Leonardo plays the lead role in this biopic on:

FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, focusing on his scandalous career and controversial private life as a homosexual and rumored cross dresser.

With J. Edgar Hoover holding the position from 1935 – 1972 it is unknown how many decades the movie will cover.

The film also stars Armie Hammer (who plays his rumoured lover Clyde Tolson), Naomi Watts (who plays his secretary Helen Grady), Josh Lucas (aviator Charles Lindbergh) , Ed Westwick, Dame Judi Dench (Anne Marie Hoover) and Ken Howard.

Maybe this could finally be the film that Leonardo wins an Oscar for. I’d say it’s long overdue.
