Leonardo DiCaprio to play Leonardo Da Vinci

According to Deadline, Paramount Pictures has won the rights to adapt Walter Isaacson’s famed biography on Renaissance painter Leonardo Da Vinci.

Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio is slated to produce the movie and act in it as well.

DiCaprio’s mother named the actor, who finally won an Oscar in 2016 for his performance in The Revenant, after the painter and scientist when she was visiting The Louvre and looking at the Mona Lisa. DiCaprio's mother was pregnant at the time, and when she stared at the painting, Mrs. DiCaprio felt her baby kick.
