Leonardo DiCaprio may not look like J. Edgar Hoover, but that probably won’t stop him from playing the head of the FBI in a biopic.

DiCaprio says he’s in serious discussions to take on role of the G-Man, which is sure to include details that have long been topics of controversy.

“I’m talking to Clint Eastwood about playing J. Edgar Hoover, who had his hand in some of the most sort of scandalous events in American history. So its about the secret life of J. Edgar Hoover.”

Rumors of Hoover’s sexuality have circled for decades, and that begs the question will DiCaprio don a frock. Though the actor isn’t sure yet if he’ll be cross-dressing, he’s assuming it’ll be a more straight telling of the FBI man’s life and career.

“We haven’t done the fittings for those. I don’t think so.”

DiCaprio is in solid hands with the pic. Director Clint Eastwood has a great track record for choosing Oscar-worthy films.
