It feels like body image day here on Celebitchy, what with that size-12 Glamour model story, and yesterday’s Helena Bonham-Carter swimsuit story. Some of us (me) can get a little sensitive when people with utterly normal, healthy bodies get criticized, but I hope you will forgive my snark on this one. Leonardo DiCaprio is going on a diet! Thank God. Now, I know, it’s a double standard. Leonardo has never been fat. And for many years there, he actually gave off a whiff of manorexia. But for a while now, Leo’s been having fun with the carbs, and the carbs have been throwing a little party on Leo’s gut and chin(s). But no more! Leo is going on a diet - and it’s all for his new film, Inception:
Leonardo DiCaprio gets tangled up in a fight scene for his new film Inception, currently being shot in Morocco. And Radaronline.com has learned you can expect to see a lot less of Leo.
The heartthrob actor has embarked on a major crash diet in the hopes of losing weight before the end of the year - and he’s not enjoying it one bit.
“Leo needs to shed at least 30lbs,” says a set source on Inception, the hotly anticipated action flick written by Batman director Christopher Nolan.
“He’s gained weight recently and looks almost a bit flabby, which isn’t good, especially as the camera adds pounds. There’s an action scene coming up at the end of the year in which he needs to appear emaciated, so the pressure is on.”
“Leo isn’t the kind of guy who can just lose a radical amount of weight though - he gets very nervous about it. He’s following a strict diet and is embarking on a rigorous workout regime.”
He hopes to lose the weight through the old fashioned way of cutting back on calories and upping his exercise. Leo’s a pretty determined kind of guy, when he sets his mind to things he always achieves them. Though this is going to be hard for him, you can guarantee he’ll succeed.”

Judging Leo from his last vacation pictures - when he was hanging out shirtless in Ibiza - Leo could lose about 10 to 15 pounds and he would look great, and really toned. Thirty pounds seems to be pushing it. Thirty pounds would make him look unhealthy, I think. But maybe that’s the point - he doesn’t need to be toned for the film, he needs to be “emaciated”. Let’s hope he doesn’t start looking like a crackhead (see: Christian Bale).
Does Leo really need to look emaciated though? I don’t know anything about this film Inception. Let me look it up… hot damn, this movie has a great cast! Leo, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Michael Caine, Ken Watanabe, Cillian Murphy… and of my new favorite British actors, Tom Hardy! I love that kid. He’s so sexy. As far as the plot of Inception, all I can find out is “A CEO-type becomes involved in a blackmailing scandal.” Hm… that could go either way. I hope it’s good.

I actually think he looks better with a little weight on him.
when he’s skinny, he looks like a little boy.
-
what is with people wanting to get fat al of a sudden?!
-
he looks like Jack Nickelson and Bobby Deniro’s secret love child.
he really has aged unattractively -
::Breaking News::
Leonardo DiCaprio set to wear girdle for next role.
Gilbert Grape is not putting down the donuts.

Good luck with that, porky. Something tells me he doesn’t have the willpower to dismiss the busload of models that hand-feed him french fries all day.
-
Lem: I totes agree. He’s looking like present-day Jack Nicholson, with his features squashed in the middle of his pudgy face, frowning like De Niro (not acting like…)
-
Lem, actually it looks like there’s a little late Marlon Brando throw in there too.
-
Wats up with his hair??? He looks 40. He needs a facial or needs to see Demi Moores ppl and get the number of the ppl that did Demi Moore. He looks way old for his age. He need to get a fresh face. I know he looked like a teen ager for so long it was off putting but this ”look” is extreme. I am his age and my face is not phucked like that. I don’t even use botox.

@ Lem “he really has aged unattractively”
I have to agree boy does he look old, he has that weird “boy young/old man look to him.
Johnny Depp looks younger than him, what the heck does he do in his off time to look so worn out.
-
Leo looks adorable just the way he is, shame on you celebitchy. I think the slight weight ages him a little, which is good since he has such a boyish face.
-
It has made him look like a ringer for Orson Welles though…..
Inception has Michael Caine you say? And our Cillian and Marion Cotillard you say? I’m booking my tickets now I say!!!
-
is 30 pounds going to be enough? :/
-
psssssssssssssst, don’t believe everything you see on TV!!
-
LDC loses 30 lbs plus the one ounce of talent he has…
-
Of course, he looks worn out. He stays out at the bar until 4 a.m. You can’t do that without it taking a toll on you. He needs to settle down and start going to bed earlier. Besides, most men thicken up in their thirties anyway.
The problem is, if he loses 30 pounds it’s going to come off in all the wrong places. He carries weight in his face and in his middle. Who cares - he’s always going to be cuter than 95% of the men out there. -
His face is turning into a bulldog’s face.
