AFTER many stellar performances in his career, Leonardo DiCaprio has expressed his desire to play the role of Vladimir Putin.

    In a recent interview with the German newspaper Welt, the six-time-Oscar nominated actor revealed that he could imagine himself playing the role of the Russian president.

    “Putin would be very, very, very interesting. I would like to play him,” he said.

    The Golden Globe winner also shared his meeting with Putin in 2010 when he attended the International Forum on Tiger in St. Petersburg.

    “My fund has several projects aimed at financial support for protecting these wild cats (Siberiatigers). Putin and I spoke only about these magnificent animals, not about politics,” said DiCaprio.

    Russian history surely fascinates “The Revenant” actor as he said, “I think there should be more films about Russian history because it has many stories worthy of Shakespeare.” (SD-Agencies)
