Even though it looks like 100 pounds, Leonardo DiCaprio claims his new body size is from working out, not pigging out. Martin Scorsese told Leo to go work out and put on some weight for his gangster character in Gangs Of New York. The press had a feel day when the Titanic star emerged more bloated the buff, refusing any photographs at the Rudolph Valentino film awards in Rome. Maybe he's just been eating what fiance Gisele Bundchen leaves on her plate. After all, supermodels don't eat, right?
