Leonardo DiCaprio is going to play Leonardo Da Vinci in Paramount’s new biopic.

Based on Walter Isaacson’s book “Leonardo Da Vinci”, the upcoming film will be produced by the actor himself with Jennifer Davisson through their Appian Way banner. Variety also noted that Paramount has beaten out Universal in a 7-figure bidding war for the rights to adapt the book.

According to Deadline, DiCaprio was allegedly named after da Vinci. Apparently, the actor’s pregnant mother was looking at a da Vinci painting in a museum in Italy when he kicked her for the first time.
