Leonardo DiCaprio must lose 30lbs for a fight sequence in his new action film. The 34-year-old actor, who plays an officer worker who becomes involved in a blackmail scandal in Inception, has embarked on a new diet and exercise regime to help him shed the pounds.

“Leonardo needs to shed at least 30lbs. 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,” a production tipster has blabbed to RadarOnline.
