Leonardo DiCaprio Is Not Playing Vladimir Putin in a New Movie
Despite rumors of his casting
Leonardo DiCaprio once said he would “love to play” Vladimir Putin, but that doesn’t mean it’s actually happening anytime soon.
Contrary to reports in Russian media, The Revenant actor is not involved with an upcoming biopic about the Russian president from Knightsbridge Entertainment, The Wrap reports.
At least not yet: the company’s CEO has called DiCaprio a “dream choice” but says there’s been no outreach to the actor and that the film doesn’t even have a director yet.
DiCaprio met Putin in 2010 at a conference about Siberian tigers.

No, Leonardo DiCaprio Won’t Be Playing Vladimir Putin: ‘Completely False’
The Oscar-nominated star of “The Revenant” has not agreed to play the Russian president in “Putin”
Sorry Russian film fans, but Leonardo DiCaprio is not going to play your President, Vladimir Putin, in an upcoming biopic that’s currently in development at London-based Knightsbridge Entertainment.
Russian media reports lit up this week with rumors that DiCaprio had agreed to star in “Putin,” igniting a social media firestorm.
While DiCaprio has been quoted in the past as saying he’d love to play Putin, whom he met in 2010 at a conference on protecting the Siberian tiger, sources close to the actor tell TheWrap that the rumors are “completely false.”
