People reports that Martin Scorsese is on the hunt to find a young buck to portray the role of legendary singer and colorful icon Frank Sinatra.
Contenders include Leonardo DiCaprio, who has made three films with Scorsese, including Shutter Island, which opens this fall. Another possible contender: Johnny Depp. Respected film industry blogger Nikki Finke reports he's the choice of the sponsoring studio, Universal. Neither actor is known for his warbling abilities, but that doesn’t matter because the film, which has the cooperation of the Sinatra estate, will use the crooner’s original recordings.
Other possible contenders? Justin Timberlake, who actually can sing and has the right hungry look. Tween heartthrob Joe Jonas has the pipes and the right look. Or maybe even Twilight’s Robert Pattinson, if he loses the fangs and nails a New Jersey accent.
Much as I love me some Hunky Spunk, my personal choice for this role would be Leonardo DiCaprio....
Thanks to Robsessed for the tip!
I honestly think that with a little work he could pull off Frank Sinatra! Practice makes perfect,right?

Ahh, yes- I have no doubt he could take Sinatra and rock him! DiCaprio has played roles closer to Sinatra which is why I picture him in that character, but Rob has become my new favorite actor (sorry, Edward Norton!) despite his bedroom eyes, sex hair and jaw porn... those are fine extras to have, though! ;)
ReplyDeleteI think Leo would do well too. Although, with some work so could Rob.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Leo would be awesome as Sinatra!!!
