Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio might be grabbing a major role in a biopic based on a biopic about Frank Sinatra.
According to Variety, film director Martin Scorsese is planning to make a biopic about Frank Sinatra after he makes his movie about Jesus.
The 81-year-old film director wants 49-year-old DiCaprio to play iconic singer-actor Sinatra. The outlet cited sources also added that Jennifer Lawrence was being eyed as Sinatra’s second wife Ava Gardner. DiCaprio and 33-year-old Lawrence co-starred together in a Netflix movie ‘Don’t Look Up’ in 2021.
Moreover, Sinatra’s daughter Tina who is 75 years old holds control over Frank’s estate and has not yet approved of the project.
Representatives for DiCaprio, Scorsese, and Lawrence did not respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
Sinatra, who died in 1998 at age 82, was known for his vast success throughout the 20th century. People still remember and hum over his songs like ‘My Way’, Strangers In The Night’ and ‘Fly Me To The Moon’.
The singer who was married four times, divorced his first wife Nancy Barbato in 1951 before marrying actress Gardner, who died in 1990 at 67 later that same year.
Gardner and Sinatra’s marriage did not last and ended in divorce in 1957. Sinatra later was married to Mia Farrow, and then Barbara Marx in 1976. He remained with Marx until his death.
