Star dreamt of sweet treats while slimming for Blood Diamond
Thursday, 22 March 2007
Leonardo DiCaprio was tormented by dreams of chocolate while dieting for his last film.
The actor, who lost a stone to prepare for his role in Blood Diamond, admits he couldn't stop thinking about calorific treats during the five-month gruelling training regime.
'The daily routine was daydreaming about being in Paris eating pain au chocolat,' he says. 'It took me away from the impact of being in Africa and preparing for my role.
'Being away from home for five months took its toll. I did a lot of fitness and military training with ex-mercenaries, which got me extremely fit. There was no messing around. They're a pretty hardcore bunch of alpha males. My body changed a lot.'
Leonardo, 32, says filming in Mozambique helped him to reassess his lifestyle choices and made him less tolerant of self-obsessed celebrities.
'I feel more level-headed these days,' he says. 'I loathe being around people who are self-consumed. I find it so boring.'
