Leonardo DiCaprio news

One source says, “Leo needs to shed at least 30 pounds. He’s gained weight recently and looks almost a bit flabby, which isn’t good, especially as the camera adds pounds.”

And why is the weight loss needed? “There’s an action scene coming up at the end of the year in which he needs to appear emaciated, so the pressure is on. Leo isn’t the kind of guy who can just lose a radical amount of weight though — he gets very nervous about it.”

Dicaprio has to follow the rules though. “He’s following a strict diet and is embarking on a rigorous workout regime. He hopes to lose weight through the old fashioned way of cutting back on calories and upping his exercise.”

And no one doubts the Titanic star. “Leo’s a pretty determined kind of guy, when he sets his mind to things he always achieves them. Though this is going to be hard for him, you can guarantee he’ll succeed.”
