It was said that the star of 'The Aviator' has been persuaded to play a supporting role to the former rapper's character in the remake of the 2006 documentary 'Cocaine Cowboys'.

AceShowbiz - The three-time Academy Award-nominated actor Leonardo DiCaprio is said to be playing opposite another Hollywood A-list actor Mark Wahlberg in a remake film of the 2006 documentary film "Cocaine Cowboys". According to PageSix.com, the latter actor has managed to persuade the star of "Blood Diamond" to take a supporting role in the yet untitled film "Untitled Jon Roberts Project".

On playing in the film, a movie insider revealed that the co-star of Claire Danes in "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet" "is excited about the opportunity to play the airplane pilot who travels with Mark's character to obtain kilos of cocaine from Pablo Escobar." Aside from the reports that the character he is portraying would not be a leading role, further details about the 33-year-old actor's character in the film has yet to be known.

If DiCaprio is indeed joining the film that is said to be chronicling the largest cocaine trafficker in Miami in the 1970s and 1980s, he would once again reteam with Wahlberg. Before, he has worked with the former rapper in the 1995 adaptation film "The Basketball Diaries" and also in 2006 acclaimed crime thriller "The Departed".
