Pablo Escobar & John Leguizamo.

Just how badly did John Leguizamo want to play the title role in the upcoming true-life thriller "King Of Cocaine"?

Bad enough that, according to Deadline, Leguizamo was willing to spend $15,000 of his own money to prove to the film's producers he was the right man for the job.

That's how much Leguizamo paid for make-up artists and a camera crew to transform him into Pablo Escobar, the notorious Colombian drug kingpin who built a $3 billion empire out of the international demand for cocaine in the 1980s.

It's a bird, it's a plane ― it's Leonardo DiCaprio?! The 38-year-old may have tested his wings as a pilot on screen in "The Aviator," but now it looks as if he is earning his wings off screen … sort of.

"The Great Gatsby" actor tried his hand on the Flyboard while vacationing in Ibiza on Tuesday with his latest lady love, Victoria's Secret model Toni Garrn. From the looks of it, Leo was having a blast and picked up the technique rather quickly! The Hollywood hunk was photographed grinning from ear to ear as he hovered over the ocean on the Flyboard (which launches riders into the air and allows them to float with control), wearing a protective vest and helmet.

We actually have a good feeling about this.

There has been a lot of speculating as to which old-timer action star(s) Sylvester Stallone will be recruiting for the third installment in his over-the-hill shoot-'em-up series, "The Expendables." But one name that probably no one was expecting to show up on the roll call is Harrison Ford (even though rumors had been swirling about it).

The man who brought life to both Han Solo and Indiana Jones has joined the cast of "The Expendables 3," according to Stallone himself.

The tweet also reveals that Bruce Willis won't be reprising his role as Church in the third film. Willis and Stallone apparently didn't part on good terms, as Sly slammed his former co-star.

Sheesh, way to go, Bruce! No more friendship for you!

Anyway, this has us thinking that Ford will be taking Willis' place in a new "handler" kind of part (Ha! We get goosebumps just thinking about it!). We'll see if we're right when details on Ford's character come in, whenever that may be.
