Leonardo DiCaprio's portrayal of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover in Clint Eastwood's biopic, due out Nov. 9, is sure to be memorable. (He does, after all, share anonscreen kisswith hunky co-star Armie Hammer.) Sure, J. Edgar may be the first time Leo has sported a dress for a role, but it's certainly not DiCaprio's first spin as a historical figure. (Remember The Aviator ?). In fact, it seems no A-lister's filmography is really complete these days without a turn as a real-life VIP. So click through and decide for yourself whether these celebs resemble the well-known historical figures they were picked to play.
Sure, it takes the help ofprosthetics, a rubber mask and several toupees for Leo to nail J. Edgar Hoover's evolving look over the course of 50 years, but ultimately, we think the A-lister was an inspired choice to play the notorious FBI director.
