Leonardo DiCaprioc 40 years old to play 'homosexual' FBI director J. Edgar Hoover Exclusive Pics

The floppy fringe of yesteryear is nowhere to be seen as Leonardo DiCaprio takes on one of his most demanding roles to date.

The Academy Award-nominee, 36, steps into the shoes of iconic FBI director J Edgar Hoover.
The story follows his life as he moulds the Federal Bureau of Investigation into an efficient crime-fighting agency, introducing modern technologies including fingerprinting and forensic laboratories.

Apart from the physical transformation, which with the help of make-up sees the actor age from his thirties into his seventies, another hurdle DiCaprio has to overcome is alluding to being gay.
