DiCaprio: Seeing Double Again
Leonardo DiCaprio fans will get two for the price of one in an upcoming film. The actor has signed to star in dual roles in the upcoming movie "Johnny Eck," based on the real-life story of twin brothers Robert and Johnny Eckhardt, reports Variety. While Robert was fully formed, Johnny was born without a lower torso. (He appeared in the 1932 cult film "Freaks," which was so horrifying that MGM pulled it from release.) The story is said to focus on how both boys triumphed over the exploitation. As for the high-profile Leo, 25, he has played dual roles before. His "Titanic" smash was followed by the release of "The Man in the Iron Mask," in which he played identical twins. He is now said to be preparing to shoot "The Gangs of New York" for "GoodFellas" director Martin Scorsese.
