Those who follow actor and producer Leonardo DiCaprio even remotely would know that the actor has a history of dating beautiful supermodels. And while that still holds true as the actor was spotted with a German model earlier this month, presently it’s his Saint-Tropez vacation with Titanic co-star Kate Winslet that is the buzz of the Internet world. The two actors, longtime friends, were sported at Caprio’s France villa recently chilling out in beachwear.

Those who follow actor and producer Leonardo DiCaprio even remotely would know that the actor has a history of dating beautiful supermodels. And while that still holds true as the actor was spotted with a German model earlier this month, presently it’s his Saint-Tropez vacation with Titanic co-star Kate Winslet that is the buzz of the Internet world. The two actors, longtime friends, were sported at Caprio’s France villa recently chilling out in beachwear.

Perhaps bigger than this hangout session is the story that Caprio has finally signed a project that had been a dream for years. Variety has noted in a new story that Paramount has beaten Universal to pick up the rights to Walter Isaacson’s book on Leonardo da Vinci. The story goes on to say that Caprio will not only star as Vinci but is also producing the film alongside president of production, Jennifer Davisson. The film has special value to Caprio who is named after the iconic artist.

But since this biopic is still months away from production, Caprio fans can, in the meantime, look out for The Black Hand, which is based on Stephan Talty’s book of the same name and follows the “true story about the origins of the mafia in America”.

Caprio is also uniting with longtime collaborator Martin Scorsese for the film, Killers of the Flower Moon and could be essaying the iconic Sam Phillips in another separate biopic.
